7 make sure fuse or circuit breaker is correct rating for machine. Using fuses or circuit breakers smaller than recommended will result in ‘nuisance’ shut off from welder inrush currents even if welding at low amperages. Failure to follow these instructions can cause immediate failure within the wel...
