THE CONTROL PANEL

1. Welding Thickness Guide. Use this

table as an initial guide to setting the

welder and adjust for the best quality

weld.

2. Power Indicator Lamp. This will

light when the power is switched on.

3. Thermal overload light. If the duty

cycle is exceeded as a result of

welding too long with a high current,

the yellow overload light will

illuminate and the welder will turn off. When the welder has cooled down (approx.

5 to 10 minutes), the power will be restored and welding can recommence.

4. Output Control Voltage. Adjust the control according to the metal thickness.

5. Wire speed control knob. As a general rule, a higher current requires a higher

wire speed.

PREPARATION FOR USE

MOUNTING THE WELDING WIRE SPOOL

NOTE: Spools of welding wire are available from your CLARKE dealer.

1. Open the side panel.

2. Remove the retaining wingnut,

washer and retaining disc.

3. Fit the spool of welding wire (not

supplied) over the spindle so that it

compresses the spring.

• DO NOT release the tension on the

wire as it will unravel causing

feeding problems later.

• The wire will feed off the spool from the top of the reel.

• The spool must be fitted with the correct orientation otherwise it will not

feed correctly.

Warning: Ensure that the welder is not connected to the mains

supply.
