Reply:It did not come with one, it is new, but was a 50% off deal because of the voltage thing and the fact it was the welder had  NO accessories.......If i can find the manual on line great, if it deals with the voltage thing.
Reply:Have the CODE number (on the tag by the serial#) when you go to Lincoln's site. Makes things much easier for getting the right manual.Rex

Reply:Thanks for the link sandy.......I'm no expert but looking at the schematic it looks like the only thing i can do is change out the transformer or use a step up transformer between the welder and my 220....It does not mention how to get it to work on 220 if it is set at 440...Apparently this a Canada  machine...
