1.i. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN

MINUTES.

1.j. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison

you cannot see or smell.

1.k. NEVER use inside a home or garage,

EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

1.l. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from

windows, doors and vents.

1.m. Avoid other generator hazards. READ

MANUAL BEFORE USE.

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

6DIHW\RI

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.

consumables, and quick tips for welding.

1. Select welding voltage (power), based on the material

thickness of the work piece, required on front panel

2. Select wire feed speed required on ‘wire speed’ knob

3. Ensure you are wearing the correct safety clothes &

equipment for welding (I.E Welding mask, gloves, apron etc)

FIGURE 5

4. Connect the work clamp to the metal to be welded. The work

clamp must make good electrical contact to the work piece.

The work piece must also be grounded as stated in Arc

Welding Safety Precautions in the beginning of this manual.

5. Based on the weld joint type and orientation of the weld joint,

position the gun into the joint at the correct angle.

6. To begin welding, raise your hand shield or lower your

helmet to protect your eyes and pull the trigger.

7. While welding, travel at a constant speed and maintain an

electrode stickout of 3/8".

8. To stop welding, release the gun trigger.

9. When no more welding is to be done, turn off the machine.

REPLACE PARTS LIST

Use of this unit on thicker materials than recommended may

result in welds of poor quality. The welds may appear to be

strong weld. This is called "Cold Casting" or "cold lapping"

and is some what similar to a cold solder joint. Weld failure

may result.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WELD-PAK 90i FC

MAINTENANCE

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Turn the input power OFF at the welding

power source before installation or

changing drive rolls and/or guides.

• Do not touch electrically live parts.

• When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive

mechanism are "hot" to work and ground and could

remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger

is released.

• Do not operate with covers, panels or guards removed

or open.

• Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance

work.

ITEMS REQUIRING NO MAINTENANCE

• Drive Motor and Gearbox – Lifetime lubrication

• Wire Reel Spindle – Do NOT lubricate shaft

ROUTINE AND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

•BEFORE EACH USE - Check over machine and

accessories for any obvious condition that may prevent safe

performance or operation. Repair or replace items as

necessary to correct any abnormal condition.

AFTER 5 MINUTES OF WELDING OR WHEN SPATTER

ACCUMULATES ON THE CONTACT TIP:

•CLEANING TIP AND NOZZLE - With the power

switch in the off position, keep the contact tip and nozzle

clean to avoid arc bridging between them. Bridging can

result in a shorted nozzle, poor welds and an overheated gun.

Hint: Anti-stick spray or gel, available from a welding

supplier, may reduce buildup and aid in spatter removal.
