WARNING
Mar ‘95
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
possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.

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.
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 Items 6.c. and 8.
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 below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
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.
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.c. 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.d. 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.e. Also see item 1.b.
Mar ‘95
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.
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.

SAFETY
iii
Mar ‘95
WELDING 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 cir-
cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains
or cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-
antes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble
de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie
du corps.
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-
onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
l‘arc.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-
age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-
er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K617 LN-742 semiautomatic constant speed wire
feeder is specifically equipped for gas metal arc
welding using flux-cored Outershield electrodes and
solid wire. The LN-742 is also suitable for self-shielded
flux-cored Innershield electrodes, submerged arc
welding (if constant voltage is satisfactory), and other
open arc welding. It has been factory assembled with
the following features:
Wire feed control [50 to 770 in./min (1.25 to 19.5
m/min) for the LN-742; 80 to 1200 in./min (2.00 to
30.5 m/min) for the LN-742H].
Factory installed gas solenoid valve and gas
fittings.
Wire drive uses a permanent magnet motor and
includes tool-less quick-release idle roll pressure
arm, outgoing guide tube and gun cable fastening.
Optional factory installed water solenoid and fittings
for use with water cooled welding guns.
The LN-742 4-Roll is designed to provide the additional
feeding force required when using gun cables over 15
ft (4.6 m) long or when the wire is pulled long distances
(such as when bulk packages are used). Because the
four-roll feeder has twice the contact surface, it can
also help when feeding softer wires by delivering the
same or more feeding force as the two-roll with less
overall wire deformation.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND
EQUIPMENT
The LN-742 is recommended for use in MIG and
Innershield welding applications with constant voltage
power sources with 42 VAC auxiliary power and a 14-
pin connector receptacle, such as the Invertec V300-
PRO, V350-PRO, DC-400, DC-600, DC-655 DC-650-
PRO, or Lincoln CV type power sources.
The LN-742 is capable of the following wire feed
ranges:
0.025 to 1/16 in. (0.6 to 1.6 mm) solid wire for gas-
metal-arc or CV submerged arc processes.
0.045 to 3/32 in. (1.2 to 2.4 mm) cored wire for
Outershield gas-metal-arc processes.
WARNING
B-2
OPERATION
B-2
0.045 to 5/64 in. (1.2 to 2.0 mm) cored wire for
Innershield processes.
The LN-742H is capable of the following wire feed
ranges:
0.025 to 0.045 in. (0.6 to 1.2 mm) solid wire for gas-
metal-arc or CV submerged arc processes.
0.035 to 0.045 in. (1.2 mm) cored wire for
Outershield, Metalshield or Innershield processes.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
The operator controls are located on the keypad
shown in Figure B.1. The keypad consists of: 7
membrane keys with tactile-feel embossed domes,
that are generously spaced to provide easy selection,
even while wearing welding gloves; a long-life, 3-1/2
digit, 7 segment LED display with 0.56 in. (14.2 mm)
character height, permitting easy viewing even from
long gun cable distances; and high intensity, red, LED
indicator lights that allow for viewing at almost any
angle.
TRIGGER MODE CONTROLS. This control enables
the operator to choose the mode of operation as
shown by the indicator lights. Pressing the key causes
the mode lights to sequence (from top to bottom).
The top light indicates standard (two-step) trigger
mode. In this mode the unit will only be active when
the trigger is pressed. The middle light indicates lock
(four-step) trigger mode. In this mode the solenoid is
energized when the trigger is pressed, the power
source and wire feeder are energized after preflow
time when the trigger is released. Closing the trigger a
second time turns off the wire feeder and then the
power source after burnback time. Releasing the
trigger a second time turns off the solenoid after
Burnback time. The bottom light indicates spot weld
trigger mode. Closing the trigger allows a single,
timed, weld cycle. The duration of the weld cycle is set
with the time selection controls. The spot on timer
starts when welding current flows.
TIME SELECTION CONTROLS. This control enables
the operator to choose which timer will be displayed
as shown by the indicator lights. Pressing the key
causes the mode lights to sequence (from top to
bottom). Any timers not available to the currently
selected mode will be skipped. Times displayed in the
LED display are adjusted using the setting adjustment
arrows to the left of the LED display. The top left light
indicates the preflow time is being displayed in
seconds. The top right indicator light indicates the
postflow time is being displayed in seconds. The
middle light indicates the burnback time is being
displayed in seconds. The bottom light indicates the
spot weld time is being displayed in seconds.

of the parameter selected to be displayed, using the
Quick-Set feature for fast and accurate setting.
DECREASE ARROW. This key decreases the setting
of the parameter selected to be displayed, using the
Quick-Set feature for fast and accurate setting.
QUICK-SET FEATURE. This feature permits the
arrow keys to control each display digit one at a time.
The display digits blink in sequence from left to right.
Pressing an arrow key immediately after a digit blinks
alters that digit. Releasing the arrow key causes the
left-to-right sequencing to resume.
COLD INCH KEY. This key energizes the wire feeder
to inch the wire forward, but does not energize the
power source or solenoid valve.
GAS PURGE KEY. This key energizes the solenoid
valve to purge any remaining gasses, but does not
energize the wire feeder or power source.
ACCELERATION SETTING
Pressing both the Gas Purge key and the Function
Selection key at the same time, on the keypad shown
in Figure B.1, enables the acceleration setting display.
The LED display will indicate A-X with X being a
number from 1 (slowest) to 5 (fastest). This number is
adjusted using the setting adjustment arrow keys. To
exit the acceleration setting function, press both keys a
second time, or press any other key except for the
setting adjustment arrow keys.
ENGLISH OR METRIC SPEED
DISPLAY UNITS
Pressing both the Gas Purge key and Timer Selection
key causes the speed display units to toggle between
inches per minute (no decimal point displayed) or
meters per minute (decimal point displayed). If the LED
display is showing the voltmeter or one of the timer
settings when these keys are pressed, the display will
change to the weld speed to indicate the selected
speed display units. See Figure B.1 for key locations.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The LN-742 has solid-state overload protection of the
wire drive motor. If the wire drive motor becomes
overloaded for an extended period of time, the
protection circuitry turns off the power source, wire
feeder, and solenoid, then displays the error code E30
on the LED display. This indicates the wire drive motor
is overloaded, with the number indicating the time
remaining in seconds before the unit will automatically
reset. This number continues to decrement every
second until it reaches zero. At that time the unit
resets automatically and the previous display will
return indicating that the unit is ready for operation.
Over loads can result from: improper tip size, liner,
drive rolls, or guide tubes; obstructions or bends in the
gun cable; feeding wire that is larger than the rated
capacity of the feeder; or any other factors that would
impede normal wire feeding.

the drive roll. Tighten the hex head screw.
6. Back out the guide tube clamping screws.
Remove the old guide tubes, if installed.
7. Insert the longer guide tube into the rear hole and
the other guide tube through the front hole. The
fine wire chisel point end of the guide tube must
have the larger radius end next to the drive roll.
See Figure B.2. Push the guide tube back as far
as it will go and tighten the clamping screw. Insert
the incoming guide tube as far back as it will go
and tighten the clamping screw. The clamping
screws are dog points. When the guide tubes are
properly installed these dog points will lock into
the annular grooves in each of the guide tubes.
8. Set the idle roll pressure as detailed in the Idle
Roll Pressure Setting procedure detailed later in
this section.
CHANGING DRIVE ROLLS FOR FOUR-
ROLL WIRE FEEDERS:
To change drive rolls on a four-roll wire feeder, refer to

in place. Remove the incoming and outgoing
guide tubes, if installed.
5. Remove the hex head screws and clamping
collars from the output shafts. Remove the drive
rolls and middle guide tube.
6. The new rolls to be installed are stenciled with the
wire size that will be fed. An A after the number
indicates aluminum wire. Remove the rolls from
the kit and wipe them clean. Wipe the output
shafts and locating shoulders clean.
7. Install one roll onto the output shaft closest to the
incoming side of the feeder clamping collar and
hex head screw. Certain size drive rolls consist of
two roll halves, and may contain a spacer. If the
drive roll you are installing contains a spacer, the
spacer fits between the two halves of the drive
roll. Tighten the hex head screw.
8. Install the middle guide tube, but do not tighten at
this time. When installing a 0.035 middle guide
tube the larger radius should be aligned towards
the drive roll. Slide the guide tube up against the
installed drive roll.
9. Install the second drive roll on the remaining shaft
the same way as the first. Center the middle guide
tube between the rolls and tighten the
thumbscrews holding it in place.
10. Close and latch both quick release levers.
