Read instructions.
1. Read the manual before using or
servicing unit.
2. Use only manufacturer’s supplied
replacement.
Exploding parts can injure. Always
wear a face shield and long sleeves.
Static can damage PC boards
1.Put on grounded wrist strap before
handing boards or parts。
2. Use proper static-proof bags and
boxes to store, move or ship PC boards.
Fire or explosion hazard.
Do not locate unit on, over, or near combustible
surfaces. Do not install unit near flammables.
1. Wear approved face shield or safety
goggles with side shields.
2. Wear proper body protection to
protect skin.
Do not weld in the height！
Flying metal can injure eyes. Wear safety
glasses with side shields or face shield.
1. Magnetic fields can affect pacemakers.
Pacemaker wearers keep away.
2. Wearers should consult their doctor
before going near plasma arc cutting
operations.
Overuse can cause overheating. Allow
cooling period, follow rated duty cycle
before starting to weld again.
Cylinders can explode if damaged. Gas
cylinders contain gas under high pressure.
If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Be sure
to treat them carefully.
Electric shock can kill:
1. Do not touch live electrical parts.
2. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves
and body protection.
3. Do not wrap electrical cable around your body.
4. Ground the workpiece with a good electrical ground.
Keep away from the torch tip.
Remove all flammables of the welding area.
Falling unit can cause injury.
Eye protection for welding:
Current level in amperage / Minimum shade number
30-150A / #8
150-300A / #10
300-500A / #12
The heat from the workpiece can cause serious
burns.
Never cut on pressurized cylinder.
Keep away from moving parts such as fans.
Fumes and gases can be hazardous:
Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these
fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. If
inside, ventilate the area. Do not weld in a confined
space only if it is well ventilated.
Moving parts can cause injury.
To protect yourself and others from injury, read and follow these
precautions before installation and operation.

1. Overheat protection is installed on the aluminium board of main transformer
and rectifier. The unit products heat while welding.
2. If unit overheats, output stops, and cooling fan runs.
3. Wait fifteen minutes for unit to cool. Reduce amperage or voltage, or duty
cycle before welding.

Operation
1.In normal welding, the users only need to set the material, wire diamete and
thickness to start to weld. It is unnecessary to set other data. All other data
have been preset by the manufacturer.
2.If the welding is not as good as expected, please fine-tune the current and
wire speed.
3.Resume to the default setting:
Press the 2 buttons of “Data type selector” and 2 buttons of “Welding material
selector” for 1s at the same time. Switch off power supply and then switch on
the welder again. The welder will resume to the default setting as leaving the
factory.
4.When setting “Standard” welding, the “Pulse” can not be adjusted,
displaying”---“.
5.When setting “2-step” and “4-step”,the “Spot time” can not be adjusted,
displaying ”FFF”.
