3.1 GENERAL
Never, under any circumstances, operate the power
source with the cover removed. In addition to the
safety hazard, improper cooling may cause dam-
age to internal components.
To prevent serious injury, never touch any torch
parts forward of the handle (nozzle, electrode, etc.)
unless the power switch is in the off position.
Wear proper protective gloves, clothing, safety
glasses, and helmet. A helmet with filter lens shade
No. 11-14 should provide adequate protection for
your eyes. Refer to the Safety Precautions in the
beginning of this manual for additional operating
precautions.

(FIGURE 3-1)
A. WIRE FEEDER RECEPTACLE - For connecting
ESAB 42 & 115 vac wire feeders.
B. REMOTE RECEPTACLE - For connecting remote
output control devices such as hand pendant (HC-

C. PANEL / REMOTE SWITCH - Selects the point of
machine control.
1. PANEL position - Machine is controlled by
the local front panel controls.
2. REMOTE position - Machine control is
switched to the device plugged into the
REMOTE RECEPTACLE.
D. APPLICATION SELECT SWITCH - This switch
selects specific application characteristics when
the PROCESS CONTROL SWITCH is in the
MIG position regardless of the PANEL/REMOTE

specific arc characteristics to provide superior
performance by enhancing stability and reducing
spatter.
