Additional Arc Welding Safety Warnings and Precautions

Warning:This product,when used for welding and similar applications,produces chemi-

cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other repro-

ductive harm). California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.

1. Avoid electrical shock. Do not permit electrically live parts, cables, or electrodes to

contact skin, clothing, or gloves. Protective clothing should be hole-free, dry, and ANSI

approved.

This unit draws enough current to cause serious injury or death. Before turning the Arc

Welder on, check the electrode holder to be sure that there are no protruding screw

heads, and that all insulation is secure, covering all conductors. Do not weld unless you

are insulated from ground and the work piece.

2. Avoid breathing fumes or gases. They can cause serious health problems. Use an

active ventilation system directly above the welding area. Keep your head out of the

fumes.

3. Avoid eye and body damage. Arc rays and infrared radiation can injure eyes and burn

skin. Wear ANSI approved eye and body protection. Do not allow viewing by visitors

without proper eye and body protection. Use a Face Shield with an arc shaded filter

plate.

4. Know proper arc welding practices. Read and understand the manufacturer’s

instructions, and well as your employer’s safety practices for arc welding.

5. Connect only to a code approved power source. Connect only to a grounding power

source conforming to the National Electrical Code and Local Codes.

6. Avoid fire and explosion. Remove flammable and explosive material from at least 35

feet from the welding arc to prevent welding sparks or molten metal from starting a fire.

Keep a type ABC fire extinguisher within easy reach.Thoroughly clean the object being

welded of any paint, grease, or other foreign material.

Warning:The warnings, cautions,and instructions discussed in this instruction manual

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-

stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be

built into this product,but must be supplied by the operator.

Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage.Exten-

sion cord usage may also affect tool performance.

Unpacking

When unpacking, check to make sure the following parts are included.

If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor FreightTools at the number on the

cover of this manual as soon as possible.

Assembly

1. Connect an appropriate 220 VAC electrical plug to the Line Cord. This should only be

done by a licensed electrician.

2. Connect a AWG # 6 solid wire from the ground screw terminal (screw not included) on

the back of the unit to earth ground before welding.This grounds the internal

transformer in case of short circuits.

Operation

Caution: Before arc welding, read and understand all safety precautions and warnings

listed on pages 2 through 5.

1. Secure the pieces of metal to be welded so they cannot move.

2. Connect theTorch Cable (1A) to the ArcWelder connector for either 80 amp or 160

amp operation. See photo at the top of the next page.

3. Securely clamp the Ground Cable Clamp (2A) as close as possible to the metal object

to be welded, or to the metal work bench where the object is mounted and electrically

connected.

4. Place the desired welding electrode rod securely into the jaws of the Torch Cable

Clamp (1A).Generally, the higher the amperage, the thicker the welding rod.

5. Verify that the Power Switch is in the OFF position, then plug the ArcWelder 220VAC

plug into a dedicated, 50 amp line with delayed action type circuit breaker or fuses.

If an extension cord is used, it must have the following wire size: up to 30 feet, use 10

AWG size wire;30 to 50 feet, use 8 AWG wire; Over 50 feet, use 6 AWG wire.

6. While holding the Torch Cable Clamp with electrode clearly out of the way of any

grounded objects, turn the Power Switch to the ON position.

7. Orient yourself on the area to be welded, then lower the Face Shield over your eyes.

WARNING: NEVER LOOK AT THE IGNITED ARC WITHOUT ANSI APPROVED, ARC

SHADED, EYE PROTECTION IN A FULL FACE SHIELD. PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE

OR BLINDNESS CAN OCCUR. SKIN BURNS CAN OCCUR. NEVER BREATH ARC

FUMES.

8. Stroke the area to be welded with the electrode to ignite the arc.

Never tap the electrode into the welding surface to ignite the arc.This damages its

external coating on the electrode which prevents oxygen in the air from coming into

contact with the molten metal, causing it to oxidize.

9. Once the arc is ignited, tilt the electrode forward at an angle of approximately 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 from the Arc Welder, the Thermal Overload protector will

activate, the red indicator will light, and the Arc Welder will turn off until it cools down. If this

happens, turn the Power Switch to the OFF position and wait about 20 minutes.

10. When the weld is complete, lift the electrode clearly away from any grounded object

and lift the Face Shield up.Turn toward the ArcWelder to turn the Power Switch to the

OFF position.
