CONNECTING WELDER TO POWER SOURCE
CAUTION: 0o not attempt to connect this
welder to a regular household outlet. Make sure
the power-line voltage and frequency agree with
ratings shown on the selector plate attached to
top of cabinet.
Electrical connections between the welder and 230-volt,
single-phase, 60-cycle AC power source should be made by
a qualified electrician, A_| wiring must comply with the
National Electrical Code (ANSI C1) and The Local
Electrical Code,
1. install an individual (separate) line for the we[der with a
fuse block m the hne. For best results, this circuit should
be as short as possible. The size of the leads will depend
upon their length as shown in the table below
Supply Conductor (incl. Extension Cords)
Up to 50 feet ................. No. 8 AWG Copper
Over 50 feet ................. No. 6 AWG Copper
NOTE: -- These conductor sizes are for use with _ wP]der
having a rated input not more than 60 amps at 20% duty
CONNECT rO GROUND BURS
IN POWER £ANEL.
CONNECT TO HOT WIRES OF
A SINGLE PHASE SYSTEM, ONLY,
MAKE CONNECTIONS INSIDE
OUTLET BOX AND INSULATE
pERkY IN ACCORDANCE '/ITH
LOCAL CODE. INSTALL COVER,
cycle in accordance with Article 630 of the Nat_ona{
Electrical Code (ANSi CI) and may not be adequate for
other loads. Consult a quahfled electrician before us=ng for
other loads.
2, install 60 ampere fuses, of the delayed-action type such
as "Fustat'" or "Fusetron", m the fuse block
3. Connect 230-volt power hnes and ground as shown.

OPERATING CONTROLS
The name "Dual Range" arc welder tsderwed from the fact
that your new arc welder =s equtpped with two separate
welding ranges.
?he be_jinner or less-experienced welder will f_nd the
30-200 amp range easier to use because it provides extra arc
stabdlty when welding with some of the "more d_fhcult to
weld with specralty rods" which are prone to pop-outs
The 40-295 amp range requires less line (input current)
draw for any given amp setting and permits the use of the
maximum amp settings w=th minimal effect on other
electncal appliances, motors, and hghts, on your electrtcal
system.
Either range may be used, depending on operator
preferences when the electrode diameter permits
REGARDING FIRE

CONNECTING ELECTRODE
AND WORK CABLES
Insert the tapered plug on the end of the electrode cable
into the proper outlet jack depending on amperage required
or operato_ preference
To Insure a good electrical connectFon always twist the
electrode plug slightly whde inserting. To remove the plug
twist in the opposite direction whde removing.
NOTE: If you extend the welding cables beyond those
already supphed, they must be No 3 AWG or larger to
avoid an undue drop in welding current Do not extend
cables over 50 feet
