Safety Warnings and precautions for Arc Welding  
WArning! Arc Welding can be Hazardous.  
it is your responsibility to operate this equipment in a safe manner.  
Fire or explosion precautions  
Arc welding creates heat and sparks. These can cause fire or explosion. Please follow  
these safety considerations while using your spot welder.  
1.  
Be aware of flying sparks. Only weld in an area that does not contain any materials  
which can be ignited by flying sparks. Extinguish any significant flying sparks before  
continuing to weld.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
Protect yourself and others around you from burns which can be caused by flying  
sparks.  
Never weld in an area which contains materials which can be ignited by flying  
sparks.  
4.  
5.  
Be sure that you have a fire extinguisher nearby before using this welder.  
Never weld enclosed containers. Sparks in an enclosed container can trigger an  
explosion.  
6.  
7.  
Never weld in an atmosphere which might contain flammable fumes.  
Periodically during welding, and after completion of job, inspect your area for any  
ignition that might have been caused by flying sparks.  
electric Shock Hazard precautions  
Be aware that your arc welder operates through high resistance electrical current. Exposure  
to this current can cause injury or death. Please use safety precautions against electrical  
shock while using your welder.  
1.  
ꢀ.  
3.

preparing a Safe Workplace environment to Avoid Hazardous conditions  
The primary hazards to be managed when using Arc Welding equipment include Electric  
Shock, Fumes and Gasses, Sparks and Fire, Arc Light, and Tools and Equipment in the  
Work Area.  
electrical Hazards  
1.  
ꢀ.  
Work only in a dry environment. This includes dry clothing, shoes, floors and tools.  
Maintain an insulation layer between yourself and the electrodes, the workpiece and  
the floor. Keep the Electrode Insulated Handle Grips in good condition, wear insu-  
lated gloves, and insulated shoes.  
3.  
Do not plug in or turn on the welder until you are prepared to work, and are confident  
that it is safe to do so. Do not allow the Welding Rod, or Electrode Holder to touch  
anything that you do not intend to weld.  
Fumes and gasses  
1.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
The Flux and alloying metals components of the welding rods gives off fumes as the  
rod is used. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated are to avoid excessive inhalation of  
these fumes.  
The heat generated by welding, and the sparks and splatter that can fly out can  
ignite any flammable materials or gasses in the area. Be sure that there are no flam-  
mable materials in the are before beginning to weld.  
Work piece coatings may burn or fume with Arc ignition. Be sure to provide for prop-  
er ventilation.  
Sparks and Fire  
1.  
Arc welding creates considerable heat, both in the workpiece, and in sparks and  
splatter that may fly or drip from the workpiece.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Remove any combustibles from the area.  
Always have a second person present to watch for fires.  
Keep a fire extinguisher available at the worksite.  
Remember that the workpiece becomes very hot, and can cause fire or injury.  
Arc light  
1.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
4.  
The light created by Arc Welding can damage your eyes and skin.  
Always wear an ANSI approved welding face shield before striking an arc.  
Never allow an onlooker to view the welding Arc.

splatter and hot workpieces.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
If welding overhead, always wear protective leather welder’s jacket and overalls.  
Always wear sturdy shoes or boots for protection against splatter, and to provide  
insulation from the ground.  
4.  
Always wear a protective face shield, with UV and IR rated filters matching the pro-  
cess and amperage you will be using. The helmet should have a clear splatter shield  
to protect the filter.  
5.  
6.  
You will need a slag hammer to chip slag off the surface of the weld.  
You will need a stainless steel scratch brush for each type of material you weld, e.g..  
Steel, Stainless, Aluminum, etc.  
7.  
8.  
A skull cap or beanie will protect your hair while wearing the helmet.  
You will need an assortment of locking pliers, clamps, and fixtures to hold your work-  
pieces for accurate joining.  
preparing the Workpiece for Welding  
1.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
For successful welding the workpiece must be clean: free of corrosion, dirt and grease.  
Test fit the workpiece prior to welding to assure it will assemble properly.  
Hold the workpieces in place with an appropriate and secure clamping system  
Selecting the correct Welding rod  
1.  
Welding rods are available in a variety of alloys, sizes and fluxes for various welding  
applications. Be sure you are using the correct welding rod before working.  
note: Welding rods are variously referred to as “Electrodes”, “Rods”, and “Sticks”. Do not  
confuse these with “MIG Wire” which is used in a different process.

turn off and unplug the welder, and wait at least 15 minutes for the unit to cool down.  
Recheck your electrode selection and Amperage setting to determine if they are cor-  
rect for the welds being made. When restarting, either use a lower Amperage set-  
ting, or allow more time between welds to avoid overheating the Welder. Continued  
overheating can cause damage.  
Setting tHe cOrrect AMperAge  
Control the Amperage of your Arc Welder by turning the AMPERAGE CONTROL  
KNOB (3) on the front of the welder, and reading the setting through the CLEAR COVER  
(ꢀ3) on top of the welder, and comparing the position of the INDICATOR (ꢀ4) with the infor-  
mation on the label.  
WArning! If welding at 115 Volts, do not exceed 70 A, or the 30 A breaker switch in your  
power source will trip.  
WArning! Never use an extension cord for this unit that is not UL rated for the Voltage  
and Amperage that the welder requires.  
Arc Welding bASicS  
1.  
In Arc Welding, the electrical arc struck between the electrode and the welding joint  
generates such a high temperature that it melts both the electrode and the base  
metal. As this molten metal pool cools, it welds the joint.  
ꢀ.  
To consistently achieve good weld joints, it is important to have the right equipment,  
use the proper electrodes, prepare the workpiece properly, and utilize skill which can  
only be gained through training and practice. While this booklet provides useful and  
Page 1ꢀ- SKU: 98870  
 
important information, you are strongly urged to obtain appropriate training, and to  
practice on non-critical test pieces before attempting to weld important items.  
3.  
4.  
To begin welding, first observe all safety precautions, then attach the Ground Clamp  
to the workpiece in such a way as to provide good electrical conductivity between  
the weld area and the ground clamp. Adjust the Amperage to the correct setting, by  
turning the AMPERAGE CONTROL KNOB (3) and observing the INDICATOR (ꢀ4)  
through the CLEAR COVER (ꢀ3).  
While wearing protective clothing and holding the Electrode Clamp away from con-  
ducting surface, insert correct electrode (welding rod) into Electrode Clamp, at con-  
venient angle.  
5.  
6.  
Turn the SWITCH (1) to the correct Voltage, and pause momentarily for the TRANS-  
FORMER (19) to fully charge.  
Drag the electrode along the workpiece in a motion similar to striking a match. Do  
not “rap” the electrode on the workpiece as that may damage the electrode by dis-  
lodging flux and inhibit proper welding performance.  
7.  
8.  
Once the arc is ignited, position the electrode at a 30° angle to the workpiece. While  
working, maintain the arc by holding the electrode away from the workpiece a dis-  
tance equal to the electrode’s diameter.  
Proceed at a smooth, steady pace. Observe the weld as you proceed, tempering  
your motions to achieve a good weld.  
tipS FOr Welding SucceSS  
1.  
Good welds depend on the action of an appropriate flux. Do not use welding rods  
which have a damaged or missing flux coating.  
ꢀ.  
Experienced welders often use a “weaving” technique. This is a smooth oscillating  
motion of the electrode during the weld process to evenly disperse the weld puddle  
throughout the joint. This also results in a repetitive wave-like pattern on the surface  
of the weld.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
As you progress, periodically use a “Slag Hammer” and “Scratch Brush” to remove  
flux and slag deposits on the surface of the weld before the weld is fully cooled. This  
will help prevent inclusions and pitting in the weld.  
Strive for an even weld joint that fully penetrates the workpiece, and is completely  
filled with the pooled welding material. Avoid leaving gaps, undercuts, cavities or  
excess material overflowing from the joint.  
Minimize the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) of your workpiece. The welding process  
heats the base material, and may adversely affect its tensile strength or state of  
heat-treatment. Expert welders apply only the amount of heat needed to produce a  
good weld by moving smoothly along the weld joint, using the correct setting, and  
applying the electrode efficiently.  
6.  
Do not contaminate joint by using dirty materials or tools, or using slag hammers  
or scratch brushes which have been previously used on different material. For ex-  
ample, a scratch brush previously used on steel weld may cause rust contamination  
if used on stainless steel weld.  
Page 13- SKU: 98870  
 
troubleshooting Arc Welding defects  
porosity and Surface Holes  
Most porosity cannot be seen, but serious porosity weakens the weld.  
1.  
Before welding, remove all surface contaminants, such as Mill Scale, Rust, Paint,  
Dirt, Grease, or Moisture.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
Keep the weld puddle molten for a longer period, allowing time for gasses to escape.  
Steel with an extra low Manganese or Carbon content, or with a high percentage of  
Sulfur or Phosphorous will need to be welded using an E7018 rod.  
Use a shorter arc length electrode, such as E7018.  
4.  
undercut  
Undercutting appears as slight scratches at the bead edges. Under certain conditions it can  
seriously decrease the weld strength.  
1.  
Reduce the Amperage, travel speed, or electrode diameter until the puddle size be-  
comes manageable.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
Adjust the Electrode angle so the Arc Force holds the metal in the corners.  
Use a uniform travel speed, and avoid excessive weaving.  
Weld Material Spatter  
Spattering does not influence weld strength, but is considered an appearance defect.  
1.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
4.  
Lower the current, check the specified range for the electrode being used.  
Be sure you are using the correct polarity.  
Try to minimize the arc length.  
Look for Arc Blow conditions. Note: Arc Blow generally occurs only when using a DC  
welder. This is an AC welder.  
5.  
Wet or moist flux or workpiece may cause splatter. Note: Wet electrodes may be  
dried by baking at 300° F until the moisture is gone, usually in 1-2 hours.  
poor Fusion  
Poor Fusion is bad bonding of the weld metal to any part of the work piece. This must be  
corrected, since it results in a weak weld joint.  
1.  
ꢀ.  
3.  
4.  
Increase the Amperage.  
Clean the joint edges of dirt, rust, paint, or use an E6013 electrode.  
Decrease the gap between the work pieces.  
Use a weaving technique to better fill the gap.  
Visual Inspection of the finished weld  
Compare your weld joints to these drawings for suggestions on  
achieving better welds.

this limited 90 day/1 year Warranty shall not apply to consumable parts such as tips, welding  
wire, and gas nozzles. Harbor Freight Tools also warrants to the original purchaser, for a period of  
one year from date of purchase, that the transformer and rectifier are free from defects in materials  
and workmanship (90 days if used by a professional contractor or if used as rental equipment). This  
warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents,  
repairs or alterations outside our facilities, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall  
in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or  
consequential damages arising from the use of our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or  
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion may not apply  
to you. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR  
IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.  
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation  
charges prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the  
merchandise. If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our  
election or we may elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you  
with a replacement. We will return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no  
defect, or that the defect resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must  
bear the cost of returning the product.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary  
from state to state.
