12. Proper cylinder care. Secure
cylinders to a cart, wall, or post, to
prevent them from falling. All cylinders
should be used and stored in an
upright position. Never drop or strike a
cylinder. Do not use cylinders that
have been dented. Cylinder caps
should be used when moving or
storing cylinders. Empty cylinders
should be kept in specified areas and
clearly marked “empty.”
13. Never use oil or grease on any
inlet connector, outlet connector,
or cylinder valves.
14. Use only supplied Torch on
this Inverter Air Plasma Cutter.
Using components from other
systems may cause personal injury
and damage components within.
15. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before
using this product. Electromagnetic
fields in close proximity to a heart
pacemaker could cause interference
to, or failure of the pacemaker.
16. USE PROPER EXTENSION
CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to sue one
heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and
overheating. A 50 foot extension cord
must be at least 12 gauges in
diameter, and a 100 foot extension
cord must be at least 10 gauges in
diameter. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

1. Important: Securely hold onto the end of the Welding Wire and keep tension on it
during the following steps. If this is not done the welding wire will spring back and
creating a tangled “bird’s nest” and resulting in wasted wire.

2. Hold the Welding Wire securely while you cut enough Wire off the end of the Spool to
remove all bent and crimped Wire. Make sure the cut end has no burrs or sharp
edges (cut again, if needed).
3. Loosen and lower the Tension Adjusting Knob (1a) on the Wire Feed Assembly.
Then, raise the Swing Arm (2a)
4. Keep tension on the Welding Wire, and guide at least 12 inches of Wire into the
Wire Feed Leader (3a).
5. Lower the Swing Arm (2a) on the Wire Feed Assembly. Lower and tighten the
Tension Adjusting Knob (1a). Once the Wire is held in place, you may release it.
6. Lay the Torch Cable out in a straight line so that the Welding Wire moves through
it easily.
7. Press the manual wire feeder knob (4a), the welding wire will keep running through

OPERATION
Note: Before beginning, please read and understand all the safety precautions
staring on page 1 and especially the section “Specific Safety Rules” starting
on page 3.
MIG Welding
1. Place the wire feed unit of MIG/MAG welding unit no closer than six feet from the
workpicece to be welded.
2. Connect the MIG torch to the welder (integrated welder) or the wire feeder
(Separated welder), Twist to lock in place. Refer to page 10, 11.
3. Plug in the Grounding Cable into the Ground Connector of the power unit. Twist
to lock.
4. Securely place the clamping end of the Grounding Cable Clamp to a part of the
workpiece or metal table that is clean of paint, oil, or dirt. Clamp as close as possible to
the workpiece without damaging the cable during welding. Refer to page 10, 11.
5. Assembly wire feeder according page 12.and keep Welding Wire over 1/2 inches
over the torch. Then assembly the torch well.
6. Assemble the desired accessories and tips inside the tip of the MIG Torch handle.
Insert the electrode (2c) onto the Welding Wire and screw it firmly into the Head
Tube (4c) of the Torch Handle. Replace the Nozzle (1c), and cut off any excess
Welding Wire over 1/2 inches.

7. Connect the gas pipe of wire feed unit to the gas regulator on a CO2 gas tank (none
included). Follow the gas cylinder manufacturer’s instructions for set-up and use.
Open the valve of CO2 Gas Bottle and set gas checking switch on “checking”,then
regulate valve of gas bottle to get suitable gas-flow , finally change gas checking
switch to “welding”.

11. Set Gas Checking/ welding selector to gas checking and press the torch to clean the
air way, then set to welding selector.
Caution: The Torch handle is now energized. Be careful not touch anything else with the
Torch except the workpiece to be welded.
12. When everything is prepare well for welding. Preset parameter according the job
needed. (Refer to panel instruction on page 9). Hold the Trigger down and tilt the
torch forward. Keep the wire touch the workpiece.

Basic Welding Technique
1. Press (and hold) trigger and contact area to be welded with electrode wire to ignite arc
2. For a narrow weld, you can usually draw the Welding Wire in a steady straight line.
This is called a “stringer bead”.
For a wider weld, draw the Welding Wire back and forth across the joint in a curve.
This is called a “weave bead”.
3. Hold Torch in one hand and the face shield in the other.
4. Direct the welding wire straight into the joint. This gives an angle of 90o (straight up and
down) for butt (end to end) welds, and an angle of 45o for filter (T-shaped) welds.
5. The end of torch should be tiltled so that wire is angled anywhere in between straight
on and 15o in the direction you are welding. The amount of tilt is called the drag
angle.
6. When the weld is complete, lift the Gun and welding wire clearly away from any
grounded object, and turn the powers witch off.
