ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill. D Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense D Always ventilate confined spaces or use visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin.
1-3. Additional Symbols For Installation, Operation, And Maintenance FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard. MOVING PARTS can cause injury. D Do not install or place unit on, over, or near D Keep away from moving parts such as fans. combustible surfaces. D Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards D Do not install unit near flammables.
1-5. EMF Information Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency 1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them. Electric And Magnetic Fields 2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator. Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro- magnetic fields.

2-3. Welding Gun Duty Cycle And Overheating CAUTION WELDING LONGER THAN RATED DUTY CYCLE can damage gun and void warranty. • Do not weld at rated load longer than shown below. • Using gasless flux cored wire reduces gun duty cycle. warn7.1 8/93 Definition .023 To .045 in (0.6 To 1.1 mm)
2-5. Installing Welding Gun Drive Assembly Gun Securing Knob Gun End Loosen knob. Insert gun end through opening until it bottoms against drive assembly. Tighten knob. Gun Trigger Plug Insert plug into receptacle, and tighten threaded collar. Close door. Ref. ST-802 285-B 2-6.
2-7. Setting Gun Polarity For Wire Type Polarity Changeover Label Positive (+/Red) Output Terminal Negative (–/Black) Output Terminal Always read and follow wire manufacturer’s recommended polarity. Close door. Ref. ST-192 432 Tools Needed: 3/4 in Ref. ST-802 285-B 2-8. Connecting Spool Gun NOTE If connecting a spool gun to this welding power source, refer to instructions provided with the appropriate spool gun model for proper connection...
2-9. Installing Gas Supply Chain gas cylinder to running gear, wall, or other stationary support so cylinder cannot fall and break off valve. Regulator/Flow Gauge Install so face is vertical. Gas Hose Connection Fitting has 5/8-18 right-hand threads. Flow Adjust Typical flow rate is 20 cfh (cubic feet per hour).
2-11. Positioning Jumper Links Check input voltage available at site. 230 VOLTS Jumper Links Access Door Open door. 200 VOLTS Jumper Link Label 460 VOLTS Check label – only one is on unit. Input Voltage Jumper Links Move jumper links to match input 230 VOLTS 575 VOLTS voltage.
2-13. Selecting A Location And Connecting Input Power Rating Label Supply correct input power. Plug Y Do not move Receptacle or operate unit Connect plug to receptacle. where it could tip. Input And Grounding 18 in (457 mm) of Conductors space for airflow Connect directly to line disconnect device if hard wiring is required.
SECTION 3 – OPERATION 3-1. Controls Wire Speed Control The scale around the control is per- cent, not wire feed speed. Voltage Control The higher the selected number, the thicker the material that can be welded (see welding guide and Section 3-2).
SECTION 4 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 4-1. Routine Maintenance Y Disconnect power before maintaining. 3 Months Replace unreadable labels. Repair or replace cracked weld cable. Clean and tighten weld terminals. 6 Months Blow out or vacuum inside. During heavy service, clean monthly. Remove drive roll and apply light coat of oil or grease to...
4-3. Replacing Drive Roll And Wire Inlet Guide Inlet Wire Guide Securing Screw Inlet Wire Guide Loosen screw. Slide tip as close to drive rolls as possible without touching. Tighten screw. Drive Roll Install correct drive roll for wire size and type.
4-5. Cleaning Or Replacing Gun Liner Tools Needed: Y Disconnect gun from unit first. 5/16 in, 10 mm Head Tube Remove nozzle, contact tip, and adapter. 5/16 in 10 mm Remove liner. Lay gun cable out straight before installing new liner. To Reassemble Gun: Blow out gun casing.
4-6. Replacing Switch And/Or Head Tube Y Disconnect gun first. Remove handle locking nut. Slide handle. Remove switch housing. Note: If installing new switch, push switch lead connectors onto terminal of new switch (polarity is not important). Install switch back into handle, and secure with handle locking nut. If replacing head tube, continue to end of figure.
4-7. Welding Troubleshooting Table Welding Trouble Remedy No weld output; wire does not feed. Secure power cord plug in receptacle (see Section 2-13). Check and replace power switch if necessary. Check circuit breakers CB1 and/or CB2, and reset if necessary (see Section 4-2). Replace building line fuse or reset circuit breaker if open (see Section 2-13).
