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 prod-
ucts.
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
• Turn off input power to the power
source at the disconnect switch
or fuse box before working on
this equipment.
• Turn off the input power to any
other equipment connected to the welding
system at the disconnect switch or fuse box
before working on the equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
• Do not touch metal portions of the LN-15 work
lead clip when the welding power source is on.
• Do not connect the LN-15 to a non-lincoln tig
power source, a square wave tig power source,
or a plasma cutting power source.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION
The LN-15 should be positioned upright on a
horizontal surface. Do not submerge the LN-15 in
water. The best practice is to keep the machine in a
dry environment. When using the LN-15 in severe
weather conditions, place the LN-15 on its side with
the door facing upwards. Keep the door closed.
HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION
• To prevent possible damage to the LN-15, do not
connect the LN-15 to non-Lincoln TIG or square
wave power sources. TIG high frequency should
never be applied to the LN-15.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Locate the LN-15 away from radio controlled machin-
ery. The normal operation of the LN-15 may adversely
affect the operation of RF controlled equipment, which
may result in bodily injury or damage to the equip-
ment.
WELD CABLE CONNECTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
• Only a qualified electrician should
connect the electrode leads to the
LN-15. Connections should be
made in accordance with all local
and national electrical codes.
Failure to do so may result in bodi-
ly injury or death.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The size of the electrode cable and work cable must
be sufficient for the maximum weld current and total
cable length used. To avoid interference problems
with other equipment and to achieve the best possible
operation, route all cables directly to the work or wire
feeder. Avoid excessive lengths and do not coil
excess cable. Be sure the connection to the work
makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact. (See
Table A.1)
ELECTRODE CONNECTION
Route the electrode cable through the strain relief in
the rear of the case. Connect the electrode cable to
the LN-15 connection block using the mounting hard-
ware provided. Secure the cable by tightening the
strain relief.
All units are supplied with an optional pigtail for cus-
tomers that prefer to make a taped and bolted con-
nection externally.
WORK CONNECTION
Connect a work lead of sufficient size between the
proper output stud on the power source and the work.
Be sure the connection to the work makes tight metal
to metal electrical contact. Poor work lead connec-
tions can result in poor welding performance.
POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
To prevent possible damage to the LN-15, do not
connect the LN-15 to non-Lincoln TIG or square
wave power sources. TIG high frequency should
never be applied to the LN-15.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Turn the reel or spool until the free end of the elec-
trode is accessible.
2. While tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent
end and straighten the first 6" (15 cm). Cut off the
first 1" (2.5 cm). If the electrode is not properly
straightened, it may not feed or may jam.
3. Insert the free end through the incoming guide
bushing.
4. Press the Cold Feed switch and push the electrode
into the drive roll.
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 the wire feeding stops. Do
not overtighten.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LN-15 is a light weight, portable, durable semi-
automatic wire feeder.
The Control Cable Model features voltage control with
a potentiometer on the front of the feeder. The opera-
tion of the voltage control is similar to other feeders
having "remote control" kits, such as the LN-25.
While welding, the voltage may be adjusted as
desired. The voltage setting is not a "preset" value.
The LN-15 accommodates spools 8" (200mm) diame-
ter up to 4" (100mm) wide.
The feeder comes factory equipped with a Tweco
style #2-#4 gun bushing. Other K1500 series gun
bushings are available as field installed options.
The dual procedure mode drops the WFS to 83% of
the original set point. The voltage setting remains the
same.
• Burn-back is adjustable from 0.0 to 0.25 seconds,
with a default of 0.0 seconds.
• The preflow time is adjustable from 0.00 to 2.50 sec-
onds, with a default of 0.0 seconds.
• The postflow time is adjustable from 0.0 to 10.0 sec-
onds, with a default setting of 0.0 seconds.
DUTY CYCLE
The LN-15 wire feeders are intended for semi-auto-
matic use. The maximum rating of the LN-15 is based
upon a 60% duty cycle; 6 minutes of welding followed
by 4 minutes of idling within a 10 minute period.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The LN-15 wire drive feeds electrode for various
processes as defined below in Table B.1.
PROCESS LIMITATIONS
• The control cable model is not recommended for
SAW, SMAW, GTAW or CAG.
• The control cable model works only with power
sources that have remote output control capability.
• The LN-15 does not support 4 step trigger operation.

LN-15 POWER-UP SEQUENCE
Normal Power-Up Display
When power is first applied to the LN-15, the display
will momentarily show set-up information. For exam-
ple, it may show "CV" and "HI", indicating operation
from a CV power source and the wire drive is config-
ured for the high speed gear. Because of limitations in
the display, "CV" will appear as "CU".
After a brief moment, the LN-15 will then display the
WFS and "---". No voltage is displayed until the trigger
is pressed.
Preflow, Postflow and Burnback Times
Preflow, Postflow and Burnback times are all
adjustable on the LN-15. The LN-15 is factory set with
all the times set to 0.0 seconds.
• The burnback time is adjustable from 0.00 to 0.25
seconds.
• The preflow time is adjustable from 0.0 to 2.50 sec-
onds.
• The postflow time is adjustable from 0.0 to 10.0 sec-
onds.
Changing Preflow, Postflow or Burnback times:
1. Enter the “Press Spin” Set-Up Mode:
While the power to the LN-15 is off, activate and
hold the GAS PURGE switch (Down Position). Turn
on power to the LN-15, and continue to hold the
GAS PURGE switch until the LN-15 displays "Press
spin". Release the GAS PURGE switch.
The LN-15 is now in the "Press Spin" set-up mode. If
after 15 seconds no other action is taken, the LN-15
will then revert to normal operation.
2. Rotate the WFS knob until the desired timer is dis-
played.
Preflow:
Postflow:
Burnback:
3. Activate and then release the GAS PURGE switch
to select the timer. The time will then display in the
right hand side of the display. Example:
4. Rotate the WFS knob to adjust the time to the new
setting.
5. Press the GAS PURGE switch again to save the
setting. The LN-15 will then return to the original
"Press Spin" mode in step 1.
6. To exit the "Press Spin" set-up mode, turn off power
to the LN-15, or simply wait 15 seconds and the
LN-15 will enter normal operation.
Welding Mode CV/CC mode and WFS units
The CV/CC mode and WFS units are all readily
changed during the power-up sequence. The LN-15 is
factory set for "CV" welding power sources and "inch-
es per minute" for the wire feed speed units.
• The CV/CC mode is selectable for either CV for
Constant Voltage power sources and CC for
Constant Current power sources. Use CV power
sources whenever possible for best results.
• The WFS units is selectable for either in/min and
m/min.
Changing the CV/CC mode, or WFS units:
1. Enter the “Press Spin” Set-Up Mode:
While the power to the LN-15 is off, activate and
hold the GAS PURGE switch (Down Position). Turn
on power to the LN-15, and continue to hold the
GAS PURGE switch until the LN-15 displays "Press
spin". Release the GAS PURGE switch.

LN-15 CONTROL CABLE MODEL
SPRING TENSION ARM
The spring tension arm sets the clamping pressure of
the drive rolls on the electrode. The optimum pressure
varies with the type of wire, wire diameter, surface
conditions, lubrication and hardness. As a general
rule, hard electrodes like solid stainless electrodes
may require greater pressure and softer electrodes
like aluminum may use less pressure.
To set the spring tension arm
• Turn the knob until it is approximately at the #3
mark.
• Press the end of the gun against a solid object that
is electrically isolated from the welder output and
cold feed for several seconds.
• If the wire "birdnests", jams or breaks at the wire
drive than the idle roll pressure is too great. Loosen
the pressure arm by about a 1/2 turn., run new wire
through the gun, and repeat the above steps.
• If the drive rolls slipped on the wire, loosen the
adjustment knob on the feed plate and the gun and
cable assembly forward about 6" (15cm). A slight
waviness will be visible (it will be more visible with
smaller or softer electrodes.) If there are no waves
in the wire, tighten the knob 1/4 turn, reinstall the
gun and cable assembly and repeat the above
steps.
COLD FEED/GAS PURGE SWITCH
Inside the LN-15 is a “center-off” momentary toggle
switch for Cold Feed/Gas Purge.
When held in the UP position, the wire drive will feed
electrode but neither the power source nor the gas
solenoid will be energized. When cold feeding, the
feed speed is the same as the welding wire feed
speed. The wire feed speed may be adjusted by rotat-
ing the WFS knob on the front of the LN-15.

When the toggle switch is held in the DOWN position,
the gas solenoid valve is energized but neither the

While the Gas Purge button is activated, the flow rate
of the Shielding gas can be adjusted. See the “Flow
meter “ section below.
SPINDLE BRAKE
Adjust the spindle brake tension to allow the spool to
spin freely, yet have enough resistance for little or no
overrun when wire feeding is stopped.
FLOW METER
The flowmeter shows the flow rate of shielding gas
and has a valve to adjust the flow. It is calibrated in
Standard Cubic Feet per Hour (SCFH) for CO2, Ar,
and CO2/Ar blends.
The flow rate may be adjusted by turning the valve at
the top of the meter. Most weld procedures require
25-40 scfh (11.8 - 18.9 Liters/Hour) for sufficient
shielding gas coverage. Gun angle, nozzle diameter,
joint configuration and wind conditions may effect the
amount of shielding gas required. To convert (SCFH)
to Liters/Hour multiply SCFH value by .472.

• 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

American Welding Society.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 LN-15.
Connect a supply hose from the gas cylinder flow
valve outlet to the 5/8-18 female inert gas fitting on the
back of the LN-15.
CONSTANT CURRENT OPERATION
( See Figure B.3)
Most semiautomatic welding processes perform better
using constant voltage power sources.
Welding codes usually do not address the power source
selection or specifically, whether the welding process is
to be operated in the constant voltage or constant current
mode. Instead, codes typically specify limitations on the
current, voltage, heat input and preheat temperature
based on the material to be welded. The intention is to
assure that proper weld material properties will develop.
Welding is sometimes performed using constant current
power sources. The operation can be more convenient
because it may allow the use of an existing stick (SMAW)
power source and the power source can be placed at a
distant location without any provision for adjusting the
output settings.
For constant current operation, the power source is set to
deliver the specified current. The power source regu-
lates this current regardless of changes in the welding
circuit, including cable length, electrode diameter, wire
feed speed, contact tip to work distance, etc.
LN-15 CONTROL CABLE MODEL
Changes in the wire feed speed (WFS) or contact tip
to work distance (CTWD) affect the arc voltage when
constant current power sources are used. Lowering
the wire feed speed raises the voltage, raising the
wire feed speed lowers the voltage. Lengthening the
contact tip to work distance raises the voltage, short-
ening the contact tip to work distance lowers the volt-
age.
If the contact tip to work distance is properly main-
tained, a satisfactory operating voltage range may be
achieved, and a sound weld may result. However,
when a welder uses a longer contact tip to work dis-
tance, an arc-sensing wire feeder compensates by
increasing the wire feed speed to regulate the voltage.
Even if the voltage and current remain unchanged, the
increased wire feed speed may result in a deposition
rate well beyond the specified range of the electrode.
Under these conditions, the specified weld metal prop-
erties may not be achieved.
Constant voltage power sources deliver large current
surges to stabilize the arc when the electrode is short-
ed or the arc length is very short. However, a constant
current power source does not provide such a
response to stabilize the arc. It may be difficult to
achieve required weld metal properties, or to achieve
the required quality of welds needed to pass nonde-
structive tests, when such welds are made under con-
stant current operation.
For these reasons, Lincoln Electric does NOT recom-
mend constant current semiautomatic welding for
applications which need to meet specified weld metal
chemical or mechanical property requirements or weld
quality requirements.

SETTING ARC SENSING WIRE FEED SPEED
FOR CONSTANT CURRENT OPERATION
When using a constant current (formerly variable voltage)
power source, welding performance is improved using arc
sensing wire feed speed (CC operation). In this wire feed
mode the wire speed increases if arc voltage increases,
and decreases if arc voltage decreases, but remains con-
stant at any specific voltage level.
The LN-15 permits accurate presetting of the desired
wire feed speed, for the desired arc voltage to be used,
by setting the Wire Feed Speed in the following manner
before welding:
a. Activate press and spin during power up and change
to the CC mode. See “Changing the CV/CC mode
or WFS units” in this Operation Section.
FIGURE B.4 CC WIRE SPEED SETTING
b. Referring to the graph located above the Mode switch
(also shown in Figure B.4):
1. Select the horizontal line representing the DE-
SIRED IN/MIN. for the welding procedure. (See
example arrow line for 375 in/min.)
2. Select the diagonal line representing the ARC
VOLTS to be used for the welding procedure. (See
example arrow line for 29 volts.)
3. Determine the vertical line representing the CC
WIRE SPEED SETTING where the above two lines
cross. (See example arrow line for 450.)
c. Adjust the WFS display to the value determined in
Step (3) above (450 for example used).
The wire will feed at the DESIRED IN/MIN speed when the welding
power source is set to the arc
voltage to be used for the weld
procedure (375 in/min. at 29V for example used).
The CC wire speed setting graph is shown in TABLE B.1, giving
the Wire Speed dial setting required for the DESIRED IN/MIN
and ARC VOLTS used for the welding procedures:

MAKING A WELD
• Connect the work cable to the metal to be welded.
The work cable must make good electrical contact
to the work. The work must also be grounded as
stated in "Arc Welding Safety Precautions."
• Connect the LN-15 electrode cable to the power
source for the polarity and process to be used.
Check that the appropriate power source settings
are made for the procedure to be used. (Refer to the
power source operating and connection instruc-
tions.)
• Place the LN-15 conveniently near the work area in
a safe location to minimize exposure to weld spatter
and to avoid sharp bends in the gun cable.
• Connect the control cable to the power source..
• Be sure the proper contact tip, liner and nozzle for
the wire size being used, is in the gun and cable
assembly.
• Turn on the welding power source, connect the
shielding gas supply hose (if used), and open valve
to shielding gas supply.
• Set equipment to desired welding procedure.
• Cut the electrode within approximately .40" (10mm)
of the end of the contact tip for solid wire and within
.75" (19mm) of the extension guide for cored wire.
• Position the electrode over the joint. The end of the
electrode should be slightly off the work.
• Lower welding helmet, close the gun trigger and
begin welding. Hold the gun so the contact tip to
work distance gives the correct electrical stickout as
required for the procedure being used.
• To stop welding, release the gun trigger and the pull
the gun away from the work.
