2. Insert filter lens.
3. Attach the stiffeners over the pins on
the lens retainers (See Figure 5).
4. To attach the handle, place shield on
place (See Figure 6).

difficult and cause poor welds.
2. Push forward and snap front of
handle in cutout in cabinet.
3. Fasten screw through handle and
into cabinet (See Figure 2).
WORK CLAMP (ALL MODELS)
1. Loosen hex bolt or nut on work
clamp.
2. Insert either
cable from the welder
through the clamp handle and slide
bare wire under the clamp block.
Tighten hex bolt or nut making sure
bare wire is clamped securely.
ELECTRODE HOLDER (ALL MODELS)
1. Remove insulation handle from the
holder body by pulling the two
pieces apart.
2. Slide the other weld cable through
the handle.
3. Loosen the wire clamping screw and
slide the bare cord wire under the
clamp block. Tighten the clamping
screw making sure the wire is secure.
4. Slide the handle over the electrode
holder body and press to stop. Make
sure the handle is secure and there
is no exposed metal on the holder.
HANDSHIELD (ALL MODELS EXCEPT
WS1020)
1. Cut retainer stiffeners and
detachable handle away from shield.
Trim the excess plastic to remove
sharp edges.
protective welding gear including: eye
protection with proper shade as
specified in the following chart, flame
resistant clothing, leather welding
gloves, and full foot protection.
If heating, welding, or
cutting materials that
are galvanized, zinc
plated, lead, or
cadmium plated refer to the General
Safety Information Section for
instructions. Extremely toxic fumes are
created when these metals are heated.
4. Connect the work clamp to the
work piece. Make sure the contact is
on bare metal and not obstructed
by paint, varnish, corrosion, or non-
metallic materials.
5. Insert the exposed part of the
electrode rod (the end with no flux)
into the jaws of the electrode holder.
6. Set the amperage adjustment knob
to the proper amperage for the
electrode rod diameter. Refer to
the following chart for proper
electrode current settings.
The electrode
holder and rod are
electrically “live” (current potential)
when the welder is on.
Grounding against
any metallic
surface may produce an arc which
could cause sparks and damage
eyesight.
7. Hold the electrode rod away from
the grounded work piece or
workbench. Turn on the welder.
8. Position the electrode to begin weld,
lower the welding helmet or position
the hand shield, and strike an arc.
Adjust weld amperage as needed.
9. When finished welding, turn welder
off and store properly.
