INSTRUCTION MANUAL

These INSTRUCTIONS are for experienced operators. If you are not fully familiar with the principles of operation
and safe practices for arc welding equipment, we urge you to read our booklet, "Precautions and Safe Practices
for Arc Welding, Cutting, and Gouging", Form 52-529. Do NOT permit untrained persons to install, operate, or
maintain this equipment. Do NOT attempt to install or operate this equipment until you have read and fully
understand these instructions. If you do not fully understand these instructions, contact your supplier for
further information. Be sure to read the Safety Precautions (Section 1) before installing or operating this
equipment.

Be sure this information reaches the operator.

You can get extra copies through your supplier.
 USER RESPONSIBILITY

This equipment will perform in conformity with the description thereof contained in this manual and
accompanying labels and/or inserts when installed, operated, maintained and repaired in accordance with the
instructions provided. This equipment must be checked periodically. Malfunctioning or poorly maintained
equipment should not be used. Parts that are broken, missing, worn, distorted or contaminated should be
replaced immediately. Should such repair or replacement become necessary, the manufacturer recommends
that a telephone or written request for service advice be made to the Authorized Distributor from whom
purchased.

This equipment or any of its parts should not be altered without the prior written approval of the manufacturer.
The user of this equipment shall have the sole responsibility for any malfunction which results from improper
use, faulty maintenance, damage, improper repair or alteration by anyone other than the manufacturer or a
service facility designated by the manufacturer.
