1. Safety
 Welding may damage your body or others, so please take protection measure
in operation
 Only ones who are trained professionally can install , debug, operate, maintain
and repair the equipment.
 Do not maintain and repair the machine when the machine is connected with power.
Electric shock can kill
 Never touch electrical parts.
 Wear dry, hole-free gloves and clothes to insulate yourself.
 Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation
is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.
 Ensure to install the equipment correctly and ground the work or metal to be welded to a
good electrical (earth) ground according the operation manual.
 Ensure to operate the equipment in safe position.
Fumes and gasses can be dangerous
 Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing
these fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out the fume.
 Using enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the
breathing zone.
Welding sparks can cause fire or explosion
 Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover
them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks
and not materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to
adjacent areas.
Do not weld enclosed tanks or containers
 Prohibit to use welder to unfrozen.
 Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
Hot parts can lead to burn

 Do not touch the hot parts.
 Please use the torch after cooling or use the welding blow lamp.
 The people with heart-pacemaker should be away from the welding arc.
Rotating parts may be dangerous
 Far away from rotating parts. (like fan)
 Keep the parts of machine in the safe position.

4. Welding process selection button: MIG/STICK | TIG
5. Left knob: in MIG mode, preset wire feed speed when arc is off; adjust welding current
when arc is on.
In STICK mode, preset and adjust welding current.
6. Middle knob: in MIG mode, preset and adjust welding voltage.
In STICK mode, preset and adjust arc force
7. Inductance adjustment knob: Set the Arc control (inductance) knob to a start value
according to the voltage/wire feeding speed selection chart and you can adjust the knob
during welding to obtain best result. Inductance is the rate of current response to a change in
current. What this means is that when MIG welding with a short arc you can adjust how fast
current is applied to the shorts. The less inductance you have the crisper the arc will appear
and the wires will start easier. This will also make the bead taller and narrower. More
inductance will make the arc appear "softer" with a flatter wider appearance and if too much
is used, wires will stumble during starts. Typically when short arcing steel only a little
inductance is used in order to get a crisp arc. Low thermal conductivity materials such as
stainless need more inductance to get acceptable wetting when short arcing.
8. Digital Wire speed/ current meter display preset wire feeding speed when arc-off, display
actual welding current when arc-on.
9. Indication light wire feed speed: indicate the meter is displaying wire feeding speed.
10. Indication light current: indicate the meter is displaying welding current.
11. Digital voltage meter: MIG mode: display preset voltage when arc is off, display actual
welding voltage when arc is on.
STICK mode: display arc force.
12. Indication light voltage: indicate the meter is displaying voltage.
13. Indication light arc force: indicate the meter is displaying arc force.
14. Thermal overload light: The light will illuminate if the duty cycle of the Power Source has
been exceeded. When the thermal overload indicator illuminate the output of the power
source will be disabled. Once the unit cools down this light will go OFF. Please keep power
switch on to let fan run to help the unit cool down faster.
15. Power light: will illuminate when machine is turned on.
16. MIG Gun Polarity Lead: in MIG mode, connection positive output (+) is DCEP.
Connect to negative output (-) is DCEN. (see installation diagram).
5. Installation & Operation
The equipment protection level is IP23. Do not use in the rain!
The equipment must be turn off during installation!
