5. Setup

5.1 Unpacking and Inspection

• Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
• Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. If damage is found, do not operate the device and contact customer support.
• Verify that all listed accessories are present: 1 x Power Cord, 1 x Foot Pedal, 2 x Chuck Wrenches, 1 x User Manual.

5.2 Placement

• Place the welding positioner on a stable, level, and non-combustible workbench or surface.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for safe operation and ventilation.

5.3 Connecting Power and Foot Pedal

• Connect the power cord to the input power connector on the control panel.
• Plug the other end of the power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet.
• Connect the foot pedal cable to the designated foot switch port on the control panel.

5.4 Attaching the Chuck

• The K01-63 three-jaw chuck is typically pre-installed. If not, align the chuck with the mounting holes on the turntable and secure it using the provided fasteners and wrenches.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off

• To power on the unit, flip the Power On/Off switch located on the rear of the main unit. The power pilot light on the control panel will illuminate.
• To power off, flip the Power On/Off switch to the off position.
• In case of an emergency, press the red STOP button on the control panel to immediately halt all operations. Rotate the button clockwise to release it and resume normal function.

6.2 Adjusting Worktable Tilt Angle

The worktable can be tilted from 0° to 90° to accommodate various welding positions.

• Loosen the butterfly bolt on the side of the unit that secures the tilt mechanism.
• Carefully adjust the worktable to the desired angle.
• Tighten the butterfly bolt firmly to secure the worktable in position. The worm gear turning structure provides a self-locking function for stable positioning.

6.3 Securing Workpieces with the 3-Jaw Chuck

• Use the provided chuck wrenches to open or close the jaws of the K01-63 three-jaw chuck.
• Place the workpiece securely within the chuck's clamping range (2-58mm) or holding range (22-50mm).
• Tighten the chuck jaws firmly to prevent any movement of the workpiece during operation. Ensure the workpiece is centered and balanced to avoid vibration.

6.4 Adjusting Rotation Speed and Direction

• The rotation speed can be adjusted steplessly from 1 to 12 RPM using the Speed Adjustment Knob on the control panel. Turn clockwise for faster speed, counter-clockwise for slower speed.
• The Forward/Reverse switch, located on the rear of the unit, controls the direction of the turntable's rotation. Select the desired direction before starting operation.

6.5 Using the Foot Pedal

• Once the unit is powered on and the speed is set, press the foot pedal to start the turntable rotation.
• Release the foot pedal to stop the rotation. This allows for convenient, hands-free control during welding.
