proper installation ... and thoughtful operation on your part.

DO NOT INSTALL, OPERATE OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT

WITHOUT READING THIS MANUAL AND THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CONTAINED THROUGHOUT. And, most importantly, think before you

act and be careful.

This statement appears where the information must be followed

exactly to avoid serious personal injury or loss of life.

This statement appears where the information must be followed to

avoid minor personal injury or damage to this equipment.

KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES.

DON’T get too close to the arc. Use

corrective lenses if necessary to

stay a reasonable distance away

from the arc.

READ and obey the Material Safety

Data Sheet (MSDS) and the warning

label that appears on all containers

of welding materials.

USE ENOUGH VENTILATION or

exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep

the fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area.

IN A LARGE ROOM OR OUTDOORS, natural ventilation may be

adequate if you keep your head out of the fumes (See below).

USE NATURAL DRAFTS or fans to keep the fumes away from your

face.

If you de velop unusual symptoms, see your supervisor. Perhaps the

welding atmosphere and ventilation system should be checked.

WEAR CORRECT EYE, EAR & BODY PROTECTION

PROTECT your eyes and face with welding helmet

properly fitted and with proper grade of filter plate

(See ANSI Z49.1).

PROTECT your body from welding spatter and arc

flash with protective clothing including woolen

clothing, flame-proof apron and gloves, leather

leggings, and high boots.

PROTECT others from splatter, flash, and glare with

protective screens or barriers.

IN SOME AREAS, protection from noise may be

appropriate.

BE SURE protective equipment is in good condition.

Also, wear safety glasses in work area AT ALL

TIMES.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS

DO NOT WELD OR CUT containers or materials which previously had

been in contact with hazardous substances unless they are properly

cleaned. This is extremely dangerous.

DO NOT WELD OR CUT painted or plated parts unless special

precautions with ventilation have been taken. They can release highly

toxic fumes or gases.

Additional precautionary measures

PROTECT compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical

shocks, and arcs; fasten cylinders so they cannot fall.

BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION,

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE

PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

FOR ENGINE POWERED

EQUIPMENT.

1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting

and maintenance work unless the

maintenance work requires it to be running.

1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated

areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.

1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame

welding arc or when the engine is running.

Stop the engine and allow it to cool before

refueling to prevent spilled fuel from

vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts

and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling

tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until

fumes have been eliminated.

1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and

devices in position and in good repair.Keep

hands, hair, clothing and tools away from

V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts

when starting, operating or repairing

equipment.

1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to

perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when

necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring

their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when

working near moving parts.

1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to

override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control

rods while the engine is running.

1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning

the engine or welding generator during maintenance work,

disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire

as appropriate.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator

pressure cap when the engine is hot.

ELECTRIC AND

MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY

BE DANGEROUS

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor

causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding

current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding

machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders

having a pacemaker should consult their physician before

welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects

which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to

minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure

them with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work

cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the

work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as pos-

sible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

SAFETY

ELECTRIC SHOCK

CAN KILL.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are

electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do

not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin

or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.

Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area

of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if

welding must be performed under electrically

hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while

wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as

floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped

positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there

is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact

with the workpiece or ground) use the following

equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.

• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.

• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,

electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding

gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical

connection with the metal being welded. The connection should

be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth)

ground.

3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and

welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace

damaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode

holders connected to two welders because voltage

between the

two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both

welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect

yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see It ems 6.c. and 8.

ARC RAYS CAN BURN.

4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your

eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or

observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should

conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material

to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable

screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose

themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

FUMES AND GASES

CAN BE DANGEROUS.

5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these

fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume.

Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes

and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding

with electrodes which require special ventilation

such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions

on container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium

plated steel and other metals or coatings which

produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low

as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and

ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or

mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in

some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may

be required. Additional precautions are also

required when welding on galvanized steel.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by

various factors including proper use and positioning of the

equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific

welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure

level should be checked upon installation and periodically

thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and

ACGIH TLV limits.

5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors

coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The

heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form

phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and

cause

injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in

confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this

equipment and the consumables to be used, including the

material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employer’s

safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding

distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

SAFETY

WELDING AND CUTTING

SPARKS CAN CAUSE

FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If

this is not possible, cover them to prevent the

welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding

sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through

small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near

hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special

precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations.

Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1)

and the operating information for the equipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is

touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause

overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the

proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will

not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside.

They can cause an explosion even though they have been

“cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe

Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of

Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”,

AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see address

above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or

welding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free

protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless

trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs

when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear

safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area

as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or

other locations away from the welding area increase the

possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains,

crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire

hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.

6.h. Also see item 1.c.

6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “ Standard for Fire Prevention During

Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1

Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma 022690-9101.

6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.

CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF

DAMAGED.

7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing

the correct shielding gas for the process used

and properly operating regulators designed for

the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings,

etc. should be suitable for the application and

maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to

an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:

• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected

to physical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations

and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other

electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet

when opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight

except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders,

associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for

Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in

Cylinders,” available

from the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

FOR ELECTRICALLY

POWERED EQUIPMENT.

8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect

switch at the fuse box before working on the

equipment.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical

Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

• Have an electrician install and service this equipment.

• Turn the input power off at the fuse box before working on equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

Input Power and Grounding Connections

Before starting the installation, check with the power company to be

sure your power supply is adequate for the voltage, amperes, phase

and frequency specified on the welder nameplate. Also, be sure the

planned installation will meet the United States National Electrical

Code and local code requirements. This welder may be operated

from a single phase line or from one phase of a two or three phase

line.

All models designed to operate on less than 250 volt input lines are

shipped with the input cable connected to the welder.

Place the welder so there is free circulation of air in through the

louvers in the back and sides of the case and out of the bottom on

all four sides. Mount a NEMA Type 6-50R receptacle in a suitable

location. Be sure it can be reached by the plug on the input cable

attached to the welder.

Using the following instructions, have a qualified electrician connect

this receptacle (NEMA 6-50R Type) to the power lines at the fuse

box. Three #10 or larger copper wires are required if conduit is

used. For long cable runs over 100'(31m), #8 or larger wire in

conduit will be needed to prevent excessive voltage drops. Fuse the

two hot lines with 50 ampere super lag type fuses as shown in the

following diagram. The center contact in the receptacle is for the

grounding connection. A green wire in the input cable connects this

contact to the frame of the welder. This insures proper grounding of

the welder frame when the welder plug is inserted into the

receptacle. If a separate disconnect switch is used, it should have

two poles for the two hot lines and both should be fused for 50

amperes.

Attaching Electrode Cable to Holder

Before attaching the electrode cable to the electrode holder

or the work cable to clamp, be certain the welder is turned

off or the input power is disconnected.

Identify the holder type before installing.

Type A - Holder with Octagon shaped handle and Clamp in

Jaws

1. Loosen locking screw and slide handle off holder. Place han-

dle over electrode cable. The longer cable is used for the

Electrode Cable and is located in the front of machine upper

hole as shown in

FIGURE 1A

2. Remove insulation from electrode cable 1” ± 1/16” (25.4mm

± 1.6mm) from end.

3. Back out cable connecting screw until end is flush with inside

surface of jaw body.

4. Remove cable connecting clamp from holder jaws. Place

clamp over bare end of electrode cable and insert into holder

with clamp centered against connecting screw.

5. Tighten cable connecting screw securely against clamp.

then pass against the inside of the handle and the head of the

screw will be completely inside the handle.

Type B - Holder with Round, Ribbed Handle

1. Remove handle mounting screw and slide handle off

holder. Place handle over electrode cable.The longer cable

is used for the Electrode Cable and is located in the front of

machine upper hole as shown in Figure 1A.

2. If electrode cable does not have a terminal on it, remove

insulation from electrode cable 1” ± 1/16” (25.4mm ±

1.6mm) from end.

3. Back out clamp connecting screw and remove cable

connecting clamp.

4. If electrode cable has a terminal attached (#10 clearance

hole), place terminal over cable connecting screw.

Otherwise, place bare end of electrode cable into holder

with cable strands divided equally on both sides of clamp

connecting screw.

5. Tighten cable connecting screw securely into clamp so clamp holds

cable in place.

6. Slide handle into position and secure with handle mounting screw.

Attaching Work Cable to Clamp

Insert work cable (with 5/16” clearance hole terminal) through strain

relief hole in work clamp and fasten securely with bolt and nut

provided. The shorter cable is used for the Work Cable and is located

in the front of the machine lower hole as shown below.

Electrode and Work Cable Replacement

Substitution of cables with larger sizes requiring connections to be

made internally is not recommended. Connections for additional

lengths or larger sizes should be properly made externally. Lincoln

Electric QD (Quick Disconnect) connectors are available for this

purpose.

If either cable requires replacement for other reasons, they should be

replaced with the appropriate Lincoln parts— and only by qualified

personnel.

Important Safety Note: Make sure insulation is secure and that

screws are tight and cannot be touched. If screw can be touched,

DO NOT USE HOLDER, contact your distributor.

OPERATION

Welding Current Selection

Each position on the current selector switch is marked with the

output amperes for that setting. Turn the switch to the current

required for each application.

There is a slight amount of play in each switch position. It is good

practice to move the switch back and forth once within this play

after switching to a new position. This wiping action keeps the

contacts free from dirt and oxides.

Welding Polarity Selection

To get the best results with today’s arc welding electrodes, it is

important to use the proper polarity. The AC/DC Arc Welder permits

the choice of AC, DC(+) or DC(-), giving additional versatility.

Lincoln Electrodes are listed in the chart at the end of this manual.

Each electrode is designed to work best on either DC(+), DC(-) or AC.

In this electrode chart the preferred polarity is listed first. This is the

polarity which should be used - when available - for best results.

Duty Cycle

(For Codes 11604 and below). The 60 Hz welders are rated 20% duty

cycle and the 50 Hz welders are rated 15% duty cycle for the welding

current shown on each switch position.

(For Codes 11674 and above). The 60 Hz welders are rated 20% duty

cycle and the 50 Hz welders are rated 13% duty cycle for the welding

current shown on each switch position.

Duty cycle is based on a ten minute period. This means that the arc

can be drawn for 2 minutes out of each ten minute period (with a

20% duty cycle unit) without any danger of overheating. If the welder

is used for more than 2 minutes during several successive ten minute

periods, it may overheat. Be sure to leave the unit “on” during each

10 minute period to let the fan motor run for adequate cooling.

Overheating reduces welder life.

Circuit Breakers

AC/DC models above Code 8800 have an internal circuit breaker to

prevent overheating when welding on DC. The breaker will trip and

shut off the DC welding output if the duty cycle is exceeded or if the

cooling air flow is blocked. The cooling fan will continue to run and

the DC welding output will automatically come on when the breaker

has cooled and resets.

How to Learn Stick Welding

Refer to “Learning to Stick Weld” (LTW2) in the operator manual

section of www.lincolnelectric.com

Electrode Selection Guide

See the following Electrode Selection Guide and additional electrode

selection information. Also refer (C2.10) for Stick Electrode Welding

Guide and electrode sizes: www.lincolnelectric.com.

Selecting Electrodes

Which electrode is best for the particular job . . . how do you use it?

These are important questions because the cost, quality, and

appearance of your work depends on proper electrode selection and

application. MILD STEEL ELECTRODES may be classified into the

following groups:

Out-of-Position Group (E6011)

This group includes electrodes which have a snappy, deep

penetrating arc and fast freezing deposits.

These electrodes are used for general purpose all-position fabrication

and repair welding; also the best choice for pipe welding and sheet

metal butt, corner and edge welds. They can be used for repair work

when dirt, grease, plating or paint cannot be completely cleaned from

the steel. Typically used with motions “A’’ and “B’’ (below) for the

first pass on vertical-up welds.

High-Deposit Group (E6027, E7024)

This group includes the heavy coated, iron powder electrodes with

their soft arc and fast deposit rates. These electrodes have a heavy

slag and produce exceptionally smooth beads. They are generally

used for production welding where all work can be positioned for

downhand welding. Stringer beads, with drag technique, are always

preferred over weave passes with these electrodes.

High-Speed Group (E6012, E6013, E7014)

This group includes electrodes which have a moderately forceful arc

and deposit rates between those of the out-off position and high-

deposit electrodes. They are primarily general purpose production

electrodes especially for downhill fillets and laps or short and irregular

welds that change direction or position. Also widely used in

maintenance and recommended for sheet metal fillet and lap welds.

Motion “D’’ (below) is generally used for vertical-up welding, but

motions “A” and “B” are also suitable.

Low Hydrogen Group (E7018, E7028)

These electrodes are generally called “low hydrogen.” The name

comes from the fact that their coating contains little hydrogen in

either moisture or chemical form. Low hydrogen electrodes offer

these benefits: outstanding crack resistance, lowest porosity on

sulphur bearing steels, and capable of X-ray quality deposits. Thus,

they are the first choice when welding “problem” steels. E7018 can

be used in all positions, with Motion “C” recommended for the first

pass on vertical-up welds. NEVER use a whipping technique or a long

arc with these electrodes. ALWAYS fill craters by drawing electrodes

away slowly. ALWAYS keep these electrodes dry. Electrodes not used

within a few hours after a container is opened must be stored in heat

cabinets. LH-73 is recommended with the AC-225. Normally, DC(+) is

preferred for these electrodes.

AC-225-S & AC/DC 225/125

CAUTION

Do not turn the selector switch while welding as this will

damage the contacts.

B-2

OPERATION

Stick Welding Motions

Manipulation

depends on the joint. Some of the common motions are

shown below

Motion “A” is a straight whipping motion used with fastfreeze

electrodes to make stringer beads in all positions and on all types of

joints. It keeps the molten pool small and lets it freeze quickly so the

weld metal doesn’t spill down or through the joint. Keep arc short

when in the crater and longer during whip out from the crater.

Motion “B” is a whipping motion combined with a slight weave in the

crater. It is used with fast-freeze electrodes as the first pass on

vertical fillets and V-butts.

Motion “C” is a simple side-to-side weave used with all types of

electrodes to make fill passes on vertical fillets and V-butts. Also

sometimes used with fill-freeze and low hydrogen electrodes to make

the first pass on these joints.

Motion “D” is a triangular weave used with fill-freeze and low

hydrogen electrodes to make one pass vertical fillets and V-butts. It

results in a larger weld than Motion “C’’.

Motion “E” is a box weave used with all types of electrodes to make

fill passes on vertical fillets and V-butts. It is similar to Motion “C,’’

but with a distinct pause and slight upward motion at each edge of

the weld to assure complete crater filling and elimination of undercut.

Motion “F” is a circular motion used with all types of electrodes to

make overhead welds. Sometimes accompanied by a slight whip after

each oscillation in the crater. Always use a series of stringer beads

overhead; do not weave.

Motion “G” is a simple side-to-side weave used with all electrodes on

wide fillets or butts in the flat position.

OPERATION

Cutting (Do not exceed the Duty Cycle — At the beginnig of this

Operation Section)

The arc welder and the electrode can be used for cutting steel and cast

iron. Follow this procedure:

1. Use 1/8” (3.2mm) or 5/32" (4.0mm) Fleetweld 180 electrode.

2. Set welder on maximum (225 amps).

3. Hold long arc on edge of metal, melting it.

4. Push the arc through the molten metal, forcing it to fall away.

5. Raise the electrode, and start over again.

The important thing is to continue this up-and-down, sawing motion,

melting the metal and pushing it away.

Piercing Holes

1. Welder setting: Maximum (225

amps).

2. Electrode: 1/8” (3.2mm) or 5/32"

(4.0mm) Fleetweld 180.

3. Hold the electrode with a long arc

perpendicular over the spot

where the hole is to be made.

4. When the metal is molten, push

the electrode through the molten

puddle.

5. Give the molten metal a chance

to fall through the hole.

6. Circle with a long arc around the

edge of the hole until the desired

diameter hole has been made.

If the electrode is pushed through too soon it will stick in the puddle. Be

sure the metal is molten before pushing through .

NOTE:

On heavy metal (5/16" (7.9mm) or thicker), position the plate to be

pierced vertically, and the electrode horizontally. This allows the molten

metal to drip away freely as you are boring through.
