zards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in

the text.

Arc rays can burn eyes and skin − wear a welding helmet

with correct filter, and cover exposed skin with nonflam-

NOTICE

Indicates statements not related to personal injury.

Indicates special instructions.

Welding sparks can cause fire or explosion. Move flam-

mables away. Do not weld on closed tanks or barrels −

they can explode. Clean tanks or barrels properly.

Beware of electric shock from welding electrode or wiring.

Touching the electrode while in contact with the work or

ground can cause electric shock. Always wear dry

gloves. Keep all panels and covers closed.

Breathing welding fumes and gases can harm your

health. Welding requires good ventilation. If ventilation is

impossible, such as when welding in a confined space,

use an air-supplied respirator.

3. Adjusting Amperage Or Voltage

. On some welding power

sources, the front panel output

control setting does not matter

and the Remote Hand Control

adjusts the full range of the

welding power source output.

In Example: Min = 40 A In Range B,

Output = 120 A (50% of 40 to 200)

Max = 200 A In Range B

Place switch in On position for open-circuit

voltage. When switch is in Off position no

output is present.

In Example: Min = 5 A

Output = 200 A (100% of 5 to 200)

Max = 200 A

5. Troubleshooting

Trouble Remedy

No amperage or voltage control. Set switches and controls on welding power source or generator (see Section 3*).

Check weld output on welding power source or generator.

Secure cord connections or replace cords, if necessary.

No output (contactor) control. Remote Hand Control switch in wrong position or control not so equipped.
