Assembly

BE SURE THAT THE WELDER'S ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY CORD IS NOT
CONNECTED WHILE PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE.
AVOID CONTACTS WITH WIRES OR PARTS. Do not work with the panels partially
opened or removed completely from the power source.
1. Tools required: Hammer, Flat Head Screwdriver, Allen Wrench (metric)
2. Slide the axle through the opening in the bottom of the welder cabinet. Insert axle
into wheels. Use a hammer to attach nuts on the axle by simply tapping them into position.
3. Assemble the handle as shown in Figure 2. It can be placed in 2 different positions.
4. Amperage Adjustment Handle - Thread handle onto shunt control shaft at the top of the
machine until it contacts the locking nut (be sure to install lock washer first). Thread crank
handle into shunt handle. Tighten with a flat blade screwdriver. Tighten lock nut against handle.
Then, tighten the set screw.
5. Place the power source in a well ventilated area. Do not obstruct the air intake and output
vents. A reduced air flow can cause a reduced duty cycle and damage internal components.
6. Ensure at least two feet of open space on each side of the welder.

Installation

Welder Specifications

Your new Forney ARC (SMAW) Welding System is designed for maintenance and sheet metal
fabrication. The unit consists of a single-phase power transformer power source and arc stabilizer.
This welding power source is capable of welding with mild steel electrodes. This unit is also capable of
welding with high carbon steel, special alloy steel, cast iron, and nonferrous, such as aluminum. The
electrode material should correspond with the workpiece metal. Flux coatings are made for use with
either AC (Alternating Current), DC (Direct Current) reverse polarity, or DC straight polarity, although
some function well on both AC and DC current. Please refer to the instructions provided in this manual
for proper machine setup.
