CONNECTING WELDER TO POWER SOURCECAUTION: 0o not attempt to connect thiswelder to a regular household outlet. Make surethe power-line voltage and frequency agree withratings shown on the selector plate attached totop of cabinet.Electrical connections between the welder and 230-volt,single-phase, 60-cycle AC power source should be made bya qualified electrician, A_| wiring must comply with theNational Electrical Code (ANSI C1) and The LocalElectrical Code,1. install an individual (separate) line for the we[der with afuse block m the hne. For best results, this circuit shouldbe as short as possible. The size of the leads will dependupon their length as shown in the table belowSupply Conductor (incl. Extension Cords)Up to 50 feet ................. No. 8 AWG CopperOver 50 feet ................. No. 6 AWG CopperNOTE: -- These conductor sizes are for use with _ wP]derhaving a rated input not more than 60 amps at 20% dutyCONNECT rO GROUND BURSIN POWER £ANEL.CONNECT TO HOT WIRES OFA SINGLE PHASE SYSTEM, ONLY,MAKE CONNECTIONS INSIDEOUTLET BOX AND INSULATEpERkY IN ACCORDANCE '/ITHLOCAL CODE. INSTALL COVER,cycle in accordance with Article 630 of the Nat_ona{Electrical Code (ANSi CI) and may not be adequate forother loads. Consult a quahfled electrician before us=ng forother loads.2, install 60 ampere fuses, of the delayed-action type suchas "Fustat'" or "Fusetron", m the fuse block3. Connect 230-volt power hnes and ground as shown.iii, ...............OPERATING CONTROLSThe name "Dual Range" arc welder ts derwed from the factthat your new arc welder =s equtpped with two separatewelding ranges.?he be_jinner or less-experienced welder will f_nd the30-200 amp range easier to use because it provides extra arcstabdlty when welding with some of the "more d_fhcult toweld with specralty rods" which are prone to pop-outsThe 40-295 amp range requires less line (input current)draw for any given amp setting and permits the use of themaximum amp settings w=th minimal effect on otherelectncal appliances, motors, and hghts, on your electrtcalsystem.Either range may be used, depending on operatorpreferences when the electrode diameter permitsREGARDING FIREKEEP C_tBU_TIBLES _JT OF RA_JGE _F V ELDI_G _FC_K_USE FOR MINIMUM US_ FOR MAXIMUMCONNECTING ELECTRODEAND WORK CABLESInsert the tapered plug on the end of the electrode cableinto the proper outlet jack depending on amperage requiredor operato_ preferenceTo Insure a good electrical connectFon always twist theelectrode plug slightly whde inserting.
