examination for evidence of re. Be

aware that easily-visible smoke or

ame may not be present for some

time after the re has started. Do

not weld in atmospheres contain-

ing dangerously reactive or am-

mable gases, vapors, liquids, and

dust. Provide adequate ventilation

in work areas to prevent accumula-

tion of ammable gases, vapors,

and dust. Do not apply heat to a

container that has held an unknown

substance or a combustible material

whose contents, when heated, can

produce ammable or explosive va-

pors. Clean and purge containers

before applying heat. Vent closed

containers, including castings, be-

fore preheating or welding.

Do not touch live electrical parts. 15.

Wear dry, insulating gloves. Do not

touch electrode or conductor tong

with bare hand. Do not wear wet or

damaged gloves.

WORKPIECE AND WORK

AREA SET UP

Designate a work area that is clean 1.

and well-lit. The work area must not

allow access by children or pets to

prevent injury and distraction.

The oor and surrounding area of 2.

your work site must not be am-

mable. A clean cement oor is rec-

ommended. The welding process

will eject molten metal slag onto the

oor, and it will scatter for 8 to 10 feet

or more in any direction. Have an

adequate re extinguisher available if

needed.

You must have a sturdy work table 3.

that is open below the area you are

welding. Molten slag will be blown

through the workpiece, and must be

able to fall away freely.

Your work table must allow the work-4.

piece to be rmly clamped to prevent

it from accidentally moving or falling.

Route the Power Cord (21) along a 5.

safe route to reach the work area

without creating a tripping hazard

or exposing the Power Cord to pos-

sible damage. The Power Cord must

reach the work area with enough

extra length to allow free movement

while working.

There must not be hazardous ob-6.

jects, such as utility lines or foreign

objects, nearby that will present a

hazard while working.

A barrier, such as a welding curtain 7.

or welding shroud should be put up

to protect others in the work area and

limit the spray of sparks.

GENERAL OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Protective gear

must be worn when

using the Welder.

ANSI-approved, arc shaded,

eye protection, a full face

shield, heavy-duty work

gloves, a welding apron,

respirator, and heavy-duty

work clothes without

pocketsshould be worn when

using this product. Do not

look at the ignited arc without

eye protection. Light from the

arc can cause permanent

damage to the eyes. Light

from the arc can burn the skin.

Do not breathe arc fumes.

The 1. duty cycle denes the number

of minutes, within a 10 minute pe-

riod, during which a given Welder can

safely produce a particular current.

For example, this Welder, with a 100%

duty cycle at 65.0 Amps, means it

can operate continuously for 10 min-

utes at 65 Amps. Likewise, with a

25% duty cycle at 130 Amps means

the Welder can operate with rated

output for 2-1/2 minutes within a 10

minute working cycle. (See Figure C,

next page.)

DANGER

Page 11SKU 66042 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

FIGURE C

Failure to carefully observe duty cy-•

cle limitations can stress a Welder’s

power generation system, contribut-

ing to premature Welder failure.

This Welder is equipped with an •

internal thermal protection system

to help prevent damage to the unit.

When the unit overheats; it auto-

matically shuts down, then returns

to service when it cools down.

Once the unit returns to service, fol-•

low a more conservative duty cycle

routine to help prevent excess wear

to the Welder.

Mount the metal to be welded to the 2.

metal work table. It should be mount-

ed so that the welding debris falls to

the cement oor.

Place the Welder no closer than six 3.

feet from the workpiece to be welded.

Securely attach the clamping end of 4.

the Ground Clamp (23) to a part of

the workpiece or metal work table.

Place the bare end of the Electrode 5.

(not included) in the Electrode Holder

(22). NOTE: Always keep the jaws

of the Electrode Holder clean to en-

sure proper electrical contact with the

Electrode.

Adjust the welding current with the 6.

Ampere Selector (9). Thin metals

use low current and heavy metals use

high current.

Make sure the Power Switch (18) is 7.

OFF. Then plug the Welder’s Power

Cord (21) into a dedicated, 230 volt,

grounded electrical outlet with delayed

action type circuit breaker or fuse.

While gripping the handle of the Elec-8.

trode Holder (22), with the Electrode

clear of grounded objects, turn the

Power Switch (18) ON.

Hold the Electrode Holder (22) rmly.9.

CAUTION! The Electrode Holder is

“live”. Direct the Electrode Holder

away from people and ammables.

WARNING: Never look at the ignited 10.

arc without ANSI-approved, arc shad-

ed, eye protection in a full face shield.

Permanent eye damage or blindness

can occur. Skin burns can occur.

Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to

avoid breathing arc fumes.

Stroke the area to be welded with the 11.

Electrode to ignite the arc. Never tap

the Electrode into the welding surface

to ignite the arc. This damages its ex-

ternal coating on the Electrode which

prevents oxygen in the air from com-

ing into contact with the molten metal,

causing it to oxidize.

Once the arc is ignited, tilt the Elec-12.

trode forward at an angle of approxi-

mately 30° and hold it at a distance

from the welding object equal to the

diameter of the Electrode.

NOTE: If too much current is drawn 13.

from the Welder, the built-in Thermal

Overload Protector will activate. The

YELLOW Fault Indicator (12) will

(18) OFF and wait about ten minutes.

Then restart the Welder.

When the weld is complete, lift the 14.

Electrode clearly away from any

grounded object. Then turn the

Power Switch (18) OFF.

Unplug the Power Cord (21) from the 15.

electrical outlet.

Remove the Ground Clamp (23) from 16.

the workpiece it is clamped onto.

Then remove the Electrode from the

LIMITED 1 YEAR / 90 DAY WARRANTY

Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high

quality and durability standards, and warrants to the original purchaser that for a period

of ninety days from date of purchase that the torch, liner, wire feed mechanism (if ap-

plicable), welding clamps, electrode holders, cables and accessories packed with the

welder are free of defects in materials and workmanship. This Limited 90 Day/1 Year

Warranty shall not apply to consumable parts such as tips, welding wire, and gas

nozzles. Harbor Freight Tools also warrants to the original purchaser, for a period of

one year from date of purchase, that the transformer and rectier are free from defects

in materials and workmanship (90 days if used by a professional contractor or if used as

rental equipment). This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly to

misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, nor-

mal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death,

injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential

damages arising from the use of our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion

or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclu-

sion may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MER-

CHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with

ther repair or replace the product at our election or we may elect to refund the purchase

price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We will return re-

paired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect

resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost

of returning the product.

This warranty gives you specic legal rights and you may also have other rights

which vary from state to state.
