INTENDED USE
The ST200i is a DC only inverter stick welder with an exceptionally smooth stick welding
performance. It is intended for use for welding steel, stainless steel, cast iron and hard surfacing
using electrodes from 1/16 inch to 5/32 inch. This unit can also perform lift start DC TIG welding
on steel and stainless steel materials with the optional TIG Torch #44455. Argon shielding gas
along with a regulator, gas hose, and TIG filler rod would also be required for TIG welding.
Stick welding gives the operator the flexibility to use this welder for mobile applications,
including outdoor applications. Stick electrodes contain a flux, making welding easy and does
not require the use of a separate shielding gas which can be blown away by the wind in outdoor
applications. Since this welder does not use shielding gas, the operator will not require to have
or maintain shielding gas bottles, a regulator or gas hose. TIG welding does require the use of
Argon shielding gas. The shielding gas replaces the flux that is used in stick welding, providing a
more controlled and cosmetic weld. However, TIG welding is limited to areas inside or where
wind can be controlled, preventing the shielding gas from blowing away.
This unit is intended to be used on a 50 amp 230V AC circuit without the use of an extension
cord. If an extension cord is necessary for your application, please use the appropriate size and
length of extension cord that will handle 50 amps the entire length of the extension. We highly
recommend talking with a qualified electrician for cord size recommendations.

Fumes and Gases
-Fumes emitted from the welding process displace clean air and can result in injury or
death.
-Do not breathe in fumes emitted by the welding process. Make sure your breathing air is clean and
safe.
-Work only in a well-ventilated area or use a ventilation device to remove welding fumes from the
environment where you will be working.
-Do not weld on coated materials (galvanized, cadmium plated or containing zinc, mercury or
barium). They will emit harmful fumes that are dangerous to breathe. If necessary use a ventilator,
respirator with air supply or remove the coating from the material in the weld area.
-The fumes emitted from some metals when heated are extremely toxic. Refer to the material safety
data sheet for the manufacturer’s instructions.
-Do not weld near materials that will emit toxic fumes when heated. Vapors from cleaners, sprays
and degreasers can be highly toxic when heated.
UV and IR Arc Rays
The welding arc produces ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays that can cause injury to
your eyes and skin. Do not look at the welding arc without proper eye protection.
-Always use a helmet that covers your full face from the neck to top of head and to the back of each
ear.
-Use a lens that meets ANSI standards and safety glasses. For welders under 160 Amps output,
use a shade 10 lens; for above 160 Amps, use a shade 12. Refer to the ANSI standard Z87.1 for
more information.
-Cover all bare skin areas exposed to the arc with protective clothing and shoes. Flame-retardant
cloth or leather shirts, coats, pants or coveralls are available for protection.
-Use screens or other barriers to protect other people from the arc rays emitted from your welding.
-Warn people in your welding area when you are going to strike an arc so they can protect
themselves.
Fire Hazards
Do not weld on containers or pipes that contain or have had flammable, gaseous or liquid
combustibles in them. Welding creates sparks and heat that can ignite flammable and
explosive materials.
-Do not operate any electric arc welder in areas where flammable or explosive materials are
present.
-Remove all flammable materials within 35 feet of the welding arc. If removal is not possible, tightly
cover them with fireproof covers.
-Take precautions to ensure that flying sparks do not cause fires or explosions in hidden areas,
cracks or areas you cannot see.
-Keep a fire extinguisher close in the case of fire.
-Wear garments that are oil-free with no pockets or cuffs that will collect sparks.
-Do not have on your person any items that are combustible, such as lighters or matches.
-Keep work lead connected as close to the weld area as possible to prevent any unknown,
unintended paths of electrical current from causing electrical shock and fire hazards.
-To prevent any unintended arcs, cut wire back to ¼" stick out after welding.

Hot Materials
Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly.
-Do not touch welded materials with bare hands.
-Do not touch MIG gun nozzle after welding until it has had time to cool down.
Sparks/Flying Debris
Welding creates hot sparks that can cause injury. Chipping slag off welds creates flying
debris.
-Wear protective apparel at all times: ANSI-approved safety glasses or shield, welder’s hat and ear
plugs to keep sparks out of ears and hair.
Electromagnetic Field
-Electromagnetic fields can interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as
pacemakers.
-Consult your doctor before using any electric arc welder or cutting device
-Keep people with pacemakers away from your welding area when welding.
-Do not wrap cable around your body while welding.
-Wrap MIG gun and ground cable together whenever possible.
-Keep MIG gun and ground cables on the same side of your body.

Thermal Protection Indicator Light
When the thermal overload indicator is on, it indicates the machine has exceeded the allowable
internal temperature. The machine automatically turns off welding output but the fan will remain on
to cool down the internal components. When the internal temperature had decreased, the machine
will automatically turn welding output back on.
Current Adjustment
Current adjustment is on the front panel of the machine. It has infinite current output adjustment
from 20 to 200Amps.
Positive Output Connector
This is the connector for the electrode holder and cable, most often, when STICK welding. When
this machine is used for TIG welding, this connector is for the grounding cable.
Negative Output Connector
This is the connector for the ground cable and clamp, most often, when STICK welding. When this
machine is used for TIG welding, this connector is for the TIG torch.
Ground Cable and Clamp
The ground cable and clamp are attached to the work piece to complete the circuit allowing the flow
of current needed to weld.
Welding Cable and Electrode Holder
One end of the cable is connected to the output connectors of the welder. The electrode is held in
the electrode holder for welding.
Power Cord
The power cord connects the welder to the 230V volt power supply. Plug the 50 amp plug into a
230V/50Amp receptacle to supply power to the welder.
INSTALLATION
1. POWER REQUIREMENT - AC single phase 230V (220-240V), 60 HZ with a 50 amp circuit
breaker is required. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the ACTUAL power source voltage is less
than 220 voltsAC or greater than 240 volts AC.
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper
installation of receptacle. This welder must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
Do not remove grounding prong or alter the plug in any way. Do not use any adapters
between the welder's power cord and the power source receptacle. Make sure the
POWER switch is OFF when connecting your welder's power cord to a properly
grounded 230 VAC, 60 HZ, Single Phase, 50 Amp input power supply.

2. EXTENSION CORD - We do not recommend an extension cord because of the voltage drop they
produce. This drop in voltage can affect the performance of the welder. If you need to use an
extension cord, we recommend you check with a qualified electrician and your local electrical codes
for your specific area. Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft. in length.
3. INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL TIG TORCH
3.1 Remove the ground cable and the electrode holder from the weld output connections. Install the
ground cable to the Positive (+) weld output connection.
3.2 Secure the ground clamp to the work piece
3.3 Connect a regulator to a bottle ofARGON gas. Then connect the gas connection from the TIG
torch to the regulator.
3.4 Connect the TIG torch weld cable to the Negative (-) weld output connection.
3.5 Set desired amperage on the amperage control knob on the front panel of the welder.
3.6 Turn on the input power switch on the welder.
Be aware that the TIG torch will be electrically HOT when the Input Power Switch on the welder is
turned on.
3.7 Turn on the regulator on the bottle of shielding gas and adjust the regulator to approximately 20
CFH. Then open the shielding gas valve on the torch to start the flow of shielding gas.
EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN!
Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never strike an arc
or begin welding until you are adequately protected. Wear flame-proof welding gloves, a
heavy long sleeved shirt, trousers without cuffs, high topped shoes, and an ANSI approved
welding helmet.
3.8 Touch the tungsten that is installed in the TIG torch, to the work piece and quickly pull away
approximately 1/4" to create an arc.
OPERATION
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper
installation of receptacle at the power source. This welder must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Do not cut off the grounding prong or
alter the plug in any way and do not use any adapter between the welder's power cord and
the power source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then connect your
welder's power cord to a properly grounded 240 VAC, 60 HZ, single phase, 50 amp power
source.

4. SETTING UP THE WORK PIECE
4.1 Welding positions
There are two basic positions, for welding: Flat and Horizontal. Flat welding is generally easier,
faster, and allows for better penetration. If possible, the work piece should be positioned so that the
bead will run on a flat surface.
4.2 Preparing the Joint
Before welding, the surface of work piece needs to be free of dirt, rust, scale, oil or paint or it will
create brittle and porous welds. If the base metal pieces to be joined are thick or heavy, it may be
necessary to bevel the edges with a metal grinder, the correct bevel should be around 60 degree.
See following picture:
Based on different welding position, there are different welding joint, see following images for more
information.

Page of 18
11
5. GROUND CLAMP CONNECTION
Clear any dirt, rust, scale, oil or paint on the ground clamp. Make certain you have a good solid
ground connection. A poor connection at the ground clamp will waste power and heat. Make sure
the ground clamp touches the metal.
6. ELECTRODE
The welding electrode is a rod coated with a layer of flux. When welding, electrical current flows
between the electrode (rod) and the grounded metal work piece. The intense heat of the arc
between the rod and the grounded metal melts the electrode and the flux. For best performance on
this unit, we suggest the use of 6013 electrodes.
7. SELECTING THE PROPER ELECTRODE
There is no golden rule that determine the exact rod or heat setting required for every situation. The
type and thickness of metal and the position of the work piece determine the electrode type and the
amount of heat needed in the welding process. Heavier and thicker metals required more
amperage. It is best to practice your welds on scrap metal which matches the metal you intend to
work with to determine correct heat setting and electrode choice. See the following helpful trouble
shooting tips to determine if you are using a correct electrode.
7.1. When proper rod is used:
7.1.a. The bead will lay smoothly over the work without ragged edges
7.1.b. The base metal puddle will be as deep as the bead that rises above it
7.1.c. The welding operation will make a crackling sound similar to the sound of eggs frying
7.2. When a rod too small is used;
7.2. a. The bead will be high and irregular
7.2. b. The arc will be difficult to maintain
7.3. When the rod is too large
7.3. a. The arc will burn through light metals
7.3. b. The bead will undercut the work
7.3. c. The bead will be flat and porous
7.3. d. Rod may be freeze or stick to work piece
Note: Rate of travel over the work also affects the weld. To ensure proper penetration and enough
deposit of rod, the arc must be moved slowly and evenly along the weld seam.

8. SETTING THE AMPERAGE CONTROL
The welder has an infinite current control. It is capable of welding with electrodes up to 3/32”
diameter. There is no golden rule that determines the exact amperage required for every situation. It
is best to practice your welds on scrap metal which matches the metals you intend to work with to
determine correct setting for your job. The electrode type and the thickness of the work piece metal
determine the amount of heat needed in the welding process. Heavier and thicker metals require
more voltage (amperage), whereas lighter and thinner metals require less voltage (amperage).
Consult the welding electrode packaging for recommended welding amperage range.
9. WELDING TECHNIQUES
The best way to teach yourself how to weld is with short periods of practice at regular intervals. All
practice welds should be done on scrap metal that can be discarded. Do not attempt to make any
repairs on valuable equipment until you have satisfied yourself that your practice welds are of good
appearance and free of slag or gas inclusions.
9.1 Holding the electrode
The best way to grip the electrode holder is the way that feels most comfortable to you. Position the
Electrode to the work piece when striking the initial arc it may be necessary to hold the electrode
perpendicular to the work piece. Once the arc is started the angle of the electrode in relation to the
work piece should be between 10 and 30 degrees. This will allow for good penetration, with minimal
spatter.
9.2 Striking the arc
EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN!
Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never strike an arc
or begin welding until you are adequately protected. Wear flame-proof welding gloves, a
heavy long sleeved shirt, trousers without cuffs, high topped shoes, and an ANSI approved
welding helmet.
Scratch the work piece with the end of electrode to start arc and then raise it quickly about 1/8 inch
gap between the rod and the work piece, see following picture
It is important that the gap be maintained during the welding process and it should be neither too
wide or too narrow. If too narrow, the rod will stick to the work piece. If too wide, the arc will be
extinguished. It needs much practice to maintain the gap. The beginners may usually get sticker or
arc extinguishing. When the rod is stuck to the work piece, gently rock it back and forth to make
them separate. If not, a short circuit will occur and it will break the welder. A good arc is
accompanied by a crisp, cracking sound. The sound is similar to that made by eggs frying. To lay a
weld bead, only 2 movements are required; downward (as the electrode is consumed) and in the
direction the weld is to be laid, as in following figure:

Page of 18
13
9.3 Types of weld bead
The following paragraphs discuss the most commonly used arc welding beads.
The stringer bead Formed by traveling with the electrode in a straight line while keeping the
electrode centered over the weld joint.
The weave bead Used when you want to deposit metal over a wider space than would be possible
with a stringer bead. It is made by weaving from side to side while moving with the electrode. It is
best to hesitate momentarily at each side before weaving back the other way.
8.4 Welding position
Flat position It is easiest of the welding positions and is most commonly used. It is best if you can
weld in the flat position if at all possible as good results are easier to achieve.
The horizontal position it is performed very much the same as the flat weld except that the angle is
different such that the electrode, and therefore the arc force, is directed more toward the metal
above the weld joint. This more direct angle helps prevent the weld puddle from running downward
while still allowing slow enough travel speed to achieve good penetration. A good starting point for
your electrode angle is about 30 degrees DOWN from being perpendicular to the work piece.
9.5 Judge the good weld bead
When the trick of establishing and holding an arc has been learned, the next step is learning how to
run a good bead. The first attempts in practice will probably fall short of acceptable weld beads. Too
long of an arc will be held or the travel speed will vary from slow to fast (see following)
Stringer Bead
Weave Bead
Flat Position
Horizontal Position

Page of 18
14
A. Weld speed is too fast.
B. Weld speed is too slow.
C. Arc is too long.
D. Ideal weld.
A solid weld bead requires that the electrode be moved slowly and steadily along the weld seam.
Moving the electrode rapidly or erratically will prevent proper fusion or create a lumpy, uneven bead.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! To prevent ELECTRIC SHOCK, do not perform any welding
while standing, kneeling, or lying directly on the grounded workpiece.
9.6 Finish the bead
As the coating on the outside of the electrode burns off, it forms an envelope of protective gases
around the weld. This prevents air from reaching the molten metal and creating an undesirable
chemical reaction. The burning coating, however, forms slag. The slag formation appears as an
accumulation of dirty metal scale on the finished weld. Slag should be removed by using a chipping
hammer.
PEENING THE SLAG FROM A WELD JOINT CUASES SMALL CHIPS OF METAL TO FLY
THROUGH THE AIR! Metallic chips flying through the air can cause eye injury or injury to
other parts of the head, hands or exposed portions of the body. Wear goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and protect the hands and other exposed parts of the body with
protective garments, or if possible, work with a shield between the body and the work piece.
The intense heat produced at the arc sets up strains in the metal joined by welding. Peening the
weld not only removes the scale left behind in the welding but relieves the internal strains developed
by the heating and cooling process.
MAINTENANCE
•Maintain your KLUTCH ST200i. It is recommended that the general condition of KLUTCH
ST200i be examined before it is used. Keep KLUTCH ST200i in good repair by adopting a
