1. The green wire inside the cord is connected to
the grounding system in the welder. The green
wire in the cord must be the only wire connected
to the welder’s grounding system and must never
be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
Never leave the grounding wire disconnected
or modify the Power Cord Plug in any way.
2. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. If the tool must
be reconnected for use on a different type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified
service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool
should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

• Stick Welding is used to weld mild
steel and stainless steel using a
Stick Electrode without shielding gas.
Good welding takes a degree of skill and experience.
Practice a few sample welds on scrap before
welding your first project. Additional practice
periods are recommended whenever you weld:
• a different thickness of material
• a different type of material
• a different type of connection
• using a different process

1. Clean the weld surfaces thoroughly with
a wire brush or angle grinder; there must
be no rust, paint, oil, or other materials on
the weld surfaces, only bare metal.
2. Use clamps (not included) to hold the workpieces
in position so that you can concentrate on
proper welding technique. The distance
(if any) between the two workpieces must be
controlled properly to allow the weld to hold
both sides securely while allowing the weld
to penetrate fully into the joint. The edges of
thicker workpieces may need to be chamfered
(or beveled) to allow proper weld penetration.
NOTICE: When welding equipment on a vehicle,
disconnect the vehicle battery power from both the
positive connection and the ground before welding.
This prevents damage to some vehicle electrical
systems and electronics due to the high voltage
and high frequency bursts common in welding.

5&(*%$.,8%$.*%/(*#4("+*9%9'$S%4S47*%$"5*1 The Duty
Cycle defines the number of minutes, within a 10 minute
period, during which a given welding process can
produce a particular welding current without overheating.
For example, a welder with a 20% duty cycle at 225 A
welding current must be allowed to rest for at least
8 minutes after every 2 minutes of continuous welding.
Failure to carefully observe duty cycle limitations
can easily over-stress a welder’s power generation
system contributing to premature welder failure.
This Welder has an internal thermal protection system to
help prevent this sort of over-stress. When the Welder
overheats, it automatically shuts down and the Overload
Indicator lights. The Welder automatically returns to
service after cooling off. Rest the Electrode Holder on
an electrically non-conductive, heat-proof surface, such
as a concrete slab, well clear of the ground clamp.

1. Place the Welder on a level surface that
can bear its weight near the work area.
2. Secure the Grounding Clamp to a clean, exposed
metal part of the workpiece, or to metal work
bench where the workpiece is clamped.
3. Turn the Amperage Control Knob to
adjust the welding current.
I&$*- The Amperage Control Knob features two
surrounding circles. For 120V operation, refer to
the INNER CIRCLE. For 240V operation, refer
to the OUTER CIRCLE. For E6010 operation
follow the green parameters only. See below.
Set amperage according to Stick

After practice welding on scrap, stop,
and check your progress. Perform
Strike Test, then clean and compare your
weld’s appearance with the diagrams and
descriptions in the L*79"83%E"/# section
starting on the next page. After making any
necessary adjustments, continue to weld
while carefully following the DUTY CYCLE
guidelines as explained on page 10.
4. Place the bare metal end of the Stick
Electrode (sold separately) inside the
jaws of the Electrode Holder.
5. Turn the Power Switch to the OFF position, then
plug the Welder into a properly grounded 240 V
receptacle that matches the plug. Use the included
120V power adaptor if plugging the Welder into
a 120V receptacle. The circuit must be equipped
with delayed action-type circuit breaker or fuses.
I&$*- Ensure that the Voltage Switch is
positioned to the correct input voltage.
6. Set Electrode Holder down on
nonconductive, nonflammable surface
away from any grounded objects.
7. Turn the Power Switch ON.

9. Stroke the workpiece lightly to ignite the arc.
Tips for igniting the arc:
a. Tap the surface with the Electrode.
b. Stroke the surface with the Electrode.
c. Strike the surface like a match with the Electrode.
10. After the arc ignites:
a. Lift the Electrode off workpiece the same
distance as the diameter of the bare metal end.
b. Tilt Electrode back 10 to 20 degrees.
c. Drag Electrode to the back end of the weld
puddle to deposit material as needed.
11. When finished welding, lift the Electrode from
the workpiece, then set Electrode Holder
down on nonconductive, nonflammable
surface away from any grounded objects.
12. Turn the Power Switch OFF.
13. To prevent accidents, after use:
• Allow Welder to cool down.
• Unplug Welder’s power cord from outlet.
• Remove Ground Clamp.
• Clean, then store Welder and its accessories
indoors out of children’s reach.

A good way to test welding technique is to examine a weld’s appearance after it has cooled and the slag has been
removed. Then, better welding can be learned by adjusting your weld technique to remedy any problems found.

1. After two scraps have been welded together and the
weld has cooled, clamp one side in a sturdy vise.
2. Stay clear from underneath while you strike
the opposite side with a heavy hammer,
preferably a dead-blow hammer.
3. A ORRN%L6MN will deform but not break, as shown
