Containers should be prepared per American Welding Society Publication F4.1, Section 7. H8154 AC/DC Stick/TIG Welder HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS. Regardless of content, pressurized gas cylinders can explode. Always secure a protector cap in place over the outlet valve assembly when moving the cylinder.
Use this and other equipment with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results. H8154 AC/DC Stick/TIG Welder...
DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so. Amperage Draw The Model H8154 welder draws the following amps under maximum load: Draw at 220V, Single Phase ... 23.8 Amps Circuit Requirements Connect your welder to a dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage given below.
Page 6). Welding Machine Ground When properly connected to a power source, the Model H8154 welder is grounded through the power cord and local power grid. The internal welding circuit of the welder is insulated from the external enclosure. However, to avoid shocking...
SECTION 3: INVENTORY The Model H8154 was carefully packed when it left our warehouse. If you discover the machine is damaged or a part is missing after you have signed for delivery, please immediately call Customer Service at (570) 546-9663 for advice.
For instance, the Model H8154 has a stick duty cycle of 35% at 130A output. This means that the welder can operate continuously for 3.5 minutes at 130A output, then the arc must be stopped for at least 6.5 minutes to allow the welder to cool...
