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 Safety Data

Sheet (SDS) 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.

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

Safety 02 of 04 - 5/16/2018

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

hardfacing (see instructions on container or SDS)

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

unless exposure assessments indicate otherwise.

In confined spaces or in some circumstances,

outdoors, a respirator may also 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

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer’s safety

practices. SDS forms are available from your welding

distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

SAFETY

Safety 03 of 04 - 5/16/2018

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, 14501 George Carter Way

Chantilly, VA 20151.

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.

SAFETY

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 LʼArc

1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode 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 sʼisoler 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 lʼeau 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 sʼapplicuent 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 nʼimporte quelle partie

du corps.

3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel,

donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié

ainsi quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-

onnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou

quand on regarde lʼarc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la

peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de

lʻarc.

c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au

soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de

soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres

de lʼhuile, 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 lʼon pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de

prévenir tout risque dʼincendie 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 dʼincendie.

8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible

de la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place

la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres

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 dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des

câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils 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

dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La

chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc 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

lʼélectricité 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, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront

effectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debranch-

er à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur

place.

COAXIAL WELD CABLE

Coaxial welding cables are specially designed welding

cables for STT

and pulse welding. Coaxial weld cables

feature low inductance, allowing fast changes in the weld

current. Regular cables have a higher inductance which

may distort the STT

waveshape. Inductance becomes

more severe as the weld cables become longer.

Coaxial weld cables are recommended for STT

weld-

ing, especially when the total weld cable length (elec-

trode cable + work cable) exceeds 50 feet (7.6m). See

Table A.2.

A coaxial weld cable is constructed with multiple small

leads wrapped around one large lead. The large inner

lead connects to the electrode stud on the power source

and the electrode connection on the wire feeder. The

small leads combine together to form the work lead, one

end attached to the power source and the other end to

the work piece.

To install:

1. Turn the input power off at the welding power source.

2. Connect one end of the center lead to the power

source electrode connection, and the other end to the

wire feeder electrode connection.

3. Connect the outer lead bundle to the power source

work connection, and the other end to the work piece.

Minimize the length of any work lead extension for

best results.

4. Insulate all connections.

SHIELDING GAS CONNECTION

CYLINDER may explode if

damaged.

• Keep cylinder upright and

chained to support.

• Keep cylinder away from areas where it may be

damaged.

• Never lift welder with cylinder attached.

• Never allow welding electrode to touch cylinder.

• Keep cylinder away from welding or other live

electrical circuits.

• BUILD UP OF SHIELDING GAS MAY

HARM HEALTH OR KILL.

• Shut off shielding gas supply when not

in use.

• See American National Standard Z-49.1, "Safety

in Welding and Cutting” Published by the

American Welding Society.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Maximum inlet pressure is 100 psi. (6.9 bar.)

Install the shielding gas supply as follows:

1. Secure the cylinder to prevent it from falling.

2. Remove the cylinder cap. Inspect the cylinder valves

and regulator for damaged threads, dirt, dust, oil or

grease. Remove dust and dirt with a clean cloth. DO

NOT ATTACH THE REGULATOR IF OIL, GREASE

OR DAMAGE IS PRESENT! Inform your gas supplier

of this condition. Oil or grease in the presence of high

pressure oxygen is explosive.

3. Stand to one side away from the outlet and open the

cylinder valve for an instant. This blows away any dust

or dirt which may have accumulated in the valve out-

let.

4. Attach the flow regulator to the cylinder valve and

tighten the union nut(s) securely with a wrench. Note:

if connecting to 100% CO

cylinder, insert regulator

adapter between regulator and cylinder valve. If

adapter is equipped with a plastic washer, be sure it is

seated for connection to the CO

cylinder.

WARNING

5. Attach one end of the inlet hose to the outlet fitting of

the flow regulator. Attach the other end to the welding

system shielding gas inlet. Tighten the union nuts with

a wrench.

6. Before opening the cylinder valve, turn the regulator

adjusting knob counterclockwise until the adjusting

spring pressure is released.

7. Standing to one side, open the cylinder valve slowly a

fraction of a turn. When the cylinder pressure gage

stops moving, open the valve fully.

8. The flow regulator is adjustable. Adjust it to the flow

rate recommended for the procedure and process

being used before making a weld.
