Weld Settings Chart SAFETY SETUP BASIC WELDING WELDING TIPS MAINTENANCE NOTE: The numbers within the spaces are the approximate wire feed settings recommended* for this wire size and material thickness. .030″ Wire Size (Flux Core, Mild Steel) .035″ Wire Size (Flux Core, Mild Steel) Material Thickness (Steel) 18 Gauge 16 Gauge 14 Gauge 1 / 8 ″ 3 / 16 ″ 1.5 speed 1.5 speed MIN current 2 speed 2 speed 4 speed 3 speed MAX current 8 speed 8 speed * This chart is only intended to show general guidelines for different wire sizes and for different thicknesses of material. The settings should only be used at the beginning of a weld and must be adjusted after stopping and carefully inspecting the weld. Proper welding takes experience. Duty Cycle (Duration of Use) Avoid damage to the Welder by not welding for more than the prescribed duty cycle time. The Duty Cycle defines the number of minutes, within a 10 minute period, during which a given welder can produce a particular welding current without overheating. For example, this Welder with a 20% duty cycle at rated output (90A) must be allowed to rest for at least 8 minutes after every 2 minutes of continuous weld. Failure to carefully observe duty cycle limitations can easily over‐stress a welder’s power generation system contributing to premature welder failure. GUN This welder has an internal thermal protection 90 AMP FLUX WIRE WELDER ITEM 68887 system to help prevent this sort of over-stress. When the unit overheats, it automatically shuts down and the Overload Indicator lights. The welder automatically ON returns to service after cooling off. Rest the Gun on an electrically non-conductive, heat‐proof surface, such as a concrete slab, well clear of the ground clamp OFF while allowing the welder to cool with the Power Switch WIRE FEED SPEED Wire on, so that the internal Fan will help cool the welder. Electrode – X′ Cables When the welder can be used again, use shorter welding periods and longer rest periods to prevent needless GROUND wear. 20% Rated Duty Cycle at 90A output 2 minutes welding followed by at least 8 minutes of rest 120V~ 60Hz 20A MIN MAX .030″-.035″ Flux-core Capacity XX Ga. – X/X″ Steel Plate Ground Clamp – X′ Gun 9 speed 9.5 speed concrete slab (or other heat-proof, non-conductive surface) Page 14 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Setting Up The Weld 1. Make practice welds on pieces of scrap the same thickness as your intended workpiece to practice technique before welding anything of value. Clean the weld surfaces thoroughly with a wire brush or angle grinder; there must be no rust, paint, oil, or other materials on the weld surfaces, only bare metal. 2. Use clamps (not included) to hold the workpieces in position so that you can concentrate on proper welding technique. The distance (if any) between the two workpieces must be controlled properly to allow the weld to hold both sides securely while allowing the weld to penetrate fully into the joint. The edges of thicker workpieces may need to be chamfered (or beveled) to allow proper weld penetration. 3. Clamp Ground Cable to bare metal on the workpiece near the weld area, or to metal work bench where the workpiece is clamped. 4. Set the Wire Speed Dial and the Current Switch to the desired settings. Refer to the chart on the welder or the chart on the facing page. WARNING! DO NOT SWITCH THE CURRENT WHILE WELDING. 5. Flip the Power Switch to the OFF position, then plug the Welder into a dedicated, 120 V~, 20 A circuit with delayed action type circuit breaker or fuses. 6. Hold the Gun, without touching the Trigger, with the wire and tip clearly away from any grounded objects. Then, turn the Power Switch to ON.
