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.

POWER FEED 10 / R
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. 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 spe-
cific 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 prod-
ucts.
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 manufacturerʼs instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.f. Also see item 1.b.

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.
Jan 07
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.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.
6.I. Read and folllow 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.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MOUNTING OF THE PF10/R
Mount the wire drive unit by means of the 4 holes in
the bottom of the wire drive base. Note that the gear-
box assembly is electrically “hot” when welding.
Therefore, make certain the gearbox does not come in
contact with the structure on which the unit is mount-
ed. The wire feed unit should be mounted so that the
drive rolls are in a vertical plane to prevent the accu-
mulation of dirt in the drive roll area. Do not bend the
conduit more than 45°.
FIGURE A.1
ELECTRODE ROUTING
The electrode supply may be either from reels, Readi-
Reels, spools, or bulk packaged drums or reels.
Observe the following precautions:
• Do not bend the conduit more than 45°, and to use
the minimum amount of conduit necessary for the
wire reel to connect to the wire feeder.
• The electrode is "hot" while welding and must be
insulated from the boom, conduit and wire payoff
structure.
• If more than one wire feed unit shares the same
boom and are not sharing the some power source
output stud, their wire and reels must be insulated
from each other as well as insulated from their
mounting structure.
ELECTRODE AND WORK CABLE CON-
NECTIONS
Most welding applications run with the electrode being
positive (+). For those applications, connect the elec-
trode cable between the wire feeder and the positive
(+) output stud on the power source (located beneath
the spring loaded output cover near the bottom of the
case front).
A work lead must be run from the negative (-) power
source output stud to the work piece. The work piece
connection must be firm and secure, especially if
pulse welding is planned. Excessive voltage drops at
the work piece connection often result in unsatisfacto-
ry pulse welding performance.
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (per
TABLE 1) between the proper output terminal on the
power source and the work. Be sure the connection
to the work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical con-
tact. To avoid interference problems with other equip-
ment and to achieve the best possible operation, route
all cables directly to the work or wire feeder. Do not
bundle the electrode and work leads tightly together.
Avoid excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable.
Use K1796 Coaxial welding cables wherever possible.
Minimum work and electrode cables sizes are as follows:
TABLE 1
Current (60% Duty Cycle)
400 Amps
500 Amps

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only qualified personnel should
perform this installation.
• Turn off the input power to the power source at
the disconnect switch or fuse box before work-
ing on this equipment. Turn off the input power
to any other equipment connected to the weld-
ing system at the disconnect switch or fuse
box before working on this equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
• Always connect the Power Wave grounding lug
(located inside the reconnect input access
door) to a proper safety (Earth) ground.

A-3
When using an inverter type power source, Use the
largest welding (electrode and work) cables that are
practical. At least 2/0 copper wire - even if the aver-
age output current would not normally require it.
When pulsing, the pulse current can reach very high
levels. Voltage drops can become excessive, leading
to poor welding characteristics, if undersized welding
cables are used.
Connect the one end of the electrode cable, to the
power source output terminal of the desired polarity.
Connect the other end of the electrode cable to the
wire drive feed plate using the stud, lockwasher, and
nut provided on the wire drive feed plate. The elec-
trode cable lug must be against the feed plate. Be
sure the connection to the feed plate makes tight
metal-to-metal electrical contact. The electrode cable
should be sized according to the specifications given
in the work cable connections section.
NEGATIVE ELECTRODE POLARITY
When negative electrode polarity is required, such as
in some Innershield applications, reverse the output
connections at the power source (electrode cable to
the negative (-) stud, and work cable to the positive
(+) stud).
When operating with electrode polarity negative the
switch 7 must be set to OFF.
Set the Negative Polarity switch on Wire Feed Head
PC board as follows: These instructions apply to
the Power Wave 455/R and Power Wave 655/R.
Consult the manual for the power source if necessary.
1. Turn off power to the power source at the dis-
connect switch.
2. Remove the front cover from the power source.
3. The wire feed head board is on the right side of the
power source. Locate the 8-position DIP
switch and look for switch 7 of the DIP

SHIELDING GAS CONNECTION
The customer must provide a cylinder of shielding
gas, a pressure regulator, a flow control valve, and a
hose from the flow valve to the gas inlet fitting of the
wire drive unit.
Connect a supply hose from the gas cylinder flow
valve outlet to the 5/8-18 female inert gas fitting on the
back panel of the wire drive or, if used, on the inlet of
the Gas Guard regulator.
CONTROL CABLE
CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS
The Power Wave / Power Feed Wire Feeders offer
flexibility in the connection of system components.
This system uses the same type of control cable
between all of the system components. Connections
can be “daisy chained” from one system component to
another. Components can be connected in any order,
as long as the proper input and output receptacles are
present.
Connect the control cable from the Power Feed 10
Robotic Wire Drive to the output receptacle on the
PowerWave.
NOTE: The maximum cable length between the
Power Feed 10 Robotic and the power source
is 100 feet (33 m).

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
It is recommended that genuine Lincoln control cables
be used at all times. Lincoln cables are specifically
designed for the communication and power needs of
the Power Wave / Power Feed system. The use of
non-standard cables, especially in lengths greater
than 25 feet, can lead to communication problems
(system shutdowns), poor motor acceleration (poor
arc starting) and low wire driving force (wire feeding
problems).
Lincoln control cables are copper 22 conductor cable
in a SO-type rubber jacket.
TABLE 2 (CONNECTOR WIRING)
AVAILABLE CABLE ASSEMBLIES:
K1795 Control cable only. Available in lengths of 25',
50' and 100'.
WIRE DRIVE GEAR RATIO (HIGH OR LOW
SPEED)
The speed range capability and drive torque of the
Power Feed wire drives can be easily and quickly
changed by changing the external drive gear. The
Power Feed Wire Feeders are shipped with both high
speed and a low speed gears. As shipped from the
factory, the low speed (high torque) gear is installed
on the feeder. If this is the desired gear ratio, no
changes need be made.
SELECTING THE PROPER GEAR RATIO
See Specification Section A-1 for feed speed and wire
size capabilities with high and low speed gear ratios.
To determine whether you should be using the high or
low speed ratio use the following guidelines:
• If you need to operate at wire feed speeds above
800 IPM (20 m/m), you will need to install the high
speed gear (large 30 tooth, 1.6 inch diameter gear).
• If you do not need to run at wire feed speeds in
excess of 800 IPM (20 m/m), you should use the low
speed gear (small, 20 tooth, 1.1 inch diameter gear).
Using the low speed ratio will provide the maximum
available wire driving force.
The full range of wire feed speed listed in Section A-1
may not be useable for all welding programs. Check
your welding software to make sure the desired WFS
falls within the welding software limits.

CHANGING THE WIRE DRIVE RATIO
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Turn off power to the power source
at the disconnect switch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changing the ratio requires a gear change and a PC
board switch change. The Power Feed Wire Feeders
are shipped with both high speed and a low speed
gears. As shipped from the factory, the low speed
(high torque) gear is installed on the feeder. For iden-
tification purposes, the low speed (high torque) gear
has 20 teeth and is 1.1 inches in diameter. The high
speed gear has 30 teeth and is 1.6 inches in diameter.
1. Pull open the Pressure Door.
2. Remove the Phillips head screw retaining the pinion
gear to be changed and remove the gear. If the
gear is not easily accessible or difficult to remove,
remove or adjust feed plate from the gearbox. To
remove feed plate:
• Loosen the clamping collar screw using a 3/16"
Allen wrench. The clamping collar screw is
accessed from the bottom of the feed plate. It is
the screw which is perpendicular to the feeding
direction.
• Loosen the retaining screw, which is also
accessed from bottom of feeder, using a 3/16"
Allen wrench. Continue to loosen the screw until
the feed plate can be easily pulled off of the wire
feeder.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the screw on the lower
right face of the feed plate with a 3/16" Allen
wrench.
4. Remove the screw on the left face of the feed plate.
If changing from high speed (larger gear) to low
speed (smaller gear), line the lower hole on the left
face of the feed plate with the threads on the
clamping collar. Line the upper hole with the
threads to install larger gear for high speed feeder.
If feed plate does not rotate to allow holes to line
up, further loosen the screw on right face of feed
plate.
5. Remove the small gear from the output shaft.
Lightly cover the output shaft with engine oil or
equivalent. Install gear onto output shaft and secure
with flat washer, lock washer, and Phillips head
screw which were previously removed.
6. Tighten the screw on lower right face of feed plate.
7. Re-attach feed plate to wire feeder if removed in
Step 2.
8. Feed plate will be rotated out-of-position due to the
gear change. Adjust the angle of the feed plate per
Item 2.
Set the High/Low switch code on Wire Drive PC board
which is located on the Power Wave 455/R and
Power Wave 655/R. Consult the Instruction Manual
for proper power source settings.

INSTALLATION OF FIELD INSTALLED
OPTIONS
Water Flow Sensor
Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if
they are used even momentarily without water flowing.
Recommend practice is to install a water flow sensor
on the water return line of the torch. When fully inte-
grated into the welding system, the sensor will prevent
welding if no water flow is present.
Gas Guard Regulator
The Gas Guard regulator is available as an optional
accessory (K659-1) for Power Feed Robotic wire drive
unit. Install the 5/8-18 male outlet of the regulator to
the proper 5/8-18 female gas inlet on the back panel

3. If the only result is drive roll slippage, disengage the
gun, pull the gun cable forward about 6" (150 mm).
There should be a slight waviness in the exposed
wire. If there is no waviness, the pressure is too
low. Increase the pressure setting 3 turns, recon-
nect the gun, tighten locking clamp and repeat the
above steps.
Feeding Electrode and Brake Adjustment
1. Turn the Reel or spool until the free end of the elec-
trode is accessible. If using a drum or large reel,
supply the electrode to the PF-10/R with an elec-
trode conduit. Minimize the number of bends in the
conduit and the distance the electrode must travel.
2. While tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent
end and straighten the first 6" (150 mm). Cut off the
first 1" (25 mm). (If the electrode is not properly
straightened, it may not feed or may jam causing a
"bird nest".)
3. Insert the free end through the incoming guide tube.
4. Activate the Cold Inch mode until the the drive rolls
grab the electrode.
When feeding with the trigger, unless “Cold Feed”
trigger mode is selected the electrode and drive
mechanism are always “Hot” to work and ground
and could remain “Hot” several seconds after the
Gun trigger is released.
5. Feed the electrode through the gun.
6. Adjust the brake tension with the thumbscrew on
the spindle hub, until the reel turns freely but with
little or no overrun when wire feeding is stopped.
Do not over tighten.
Drive Roll Pressure Setting
The Power Feed 10/R drive roll pressures are factory
pre-set to about position “2” as shown on the pressure
indicator on the front of the feed plate door. This is an
approximate setting.
The optimum drive roll pressure varies with type of
wire, surface condition, lubrication, and hardness.
Too much pressure could cause “bird nesting,” but too
little pressure could cause wire feed slippage with
load and / or acceleration. The optimum drive roll set-
ting can be determined as follows:
1. Press end of gun against a solid object that is elec-
trically isolated from the welder output and press
the gun trigger for several seconds.
2. If the wire "bird nests", jams, or breaks at the drive
roll, the drive roll pressure is too great. Back the
pressure setting out 2 turns, run new wire through
gun, and repeat above steps.
WARNING
