ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks
or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is
electrically live whenever the output is on. The input
power circuit and machine internal circuits are also
live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the
wire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching the
welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly
grounded equipment is a hazard.
D Do not touch live electrical parts.
D Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
D Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats
or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work
or ground.
D Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if
there is a danger of falling.
D Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.
D If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on
unit.
D Additional safety precautions are required when any of the following electrically hazardous conditions are present: 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; or when there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these
conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a
semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual
(stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit voltage. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder
is recommended. And, do not work alone!
D Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or
servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
D Properly install and ground this equipment according to its
Owners Manual and national, state, and local codes.
D Always verify the supply ground check and be sure that input
power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in
disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle outlet.
D When making input connections, attach proper grounding conductor first double-check connections.
D Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring
replace cord immediately if damaged bare wiring can kill.
D
D
D
D
D
D
Turn off all equipment when not in use.

Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
Do not drape cables over your body.
If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directly
with a separate cable.
Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,
or another electrode from a different machine.
Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding machines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will be
present.
Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged
parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.
Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece
or worktable as near the weld as practical.
Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent
contact with any metal object.
Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any
single weld output terminal.
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter-type

welding power sources after removal of input
power.
D Turn Off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge input
capacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Section
before touching any parts.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your
health.
D Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
D If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the
arc to remove welding fumes and gases.
D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
D Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
and the manufacturers instructions for metals, consumables,
coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
D Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form
highly toxic and irritating gases.
D Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or
cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld
area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements
can give off toxic fumes if welded.
OM-2252 Page 1
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense
visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the
weld.
D Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter lenses to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching
(see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards).
D Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your
helmet.
D Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
D Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,
drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks
can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot
workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and
burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause
sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is
safe before doing any welding.
D Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If
this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.
D Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
D Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
D Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
D Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
D Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can
cause fire on the hidden side.
D Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes,
unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 (see
Safety Standards).
D Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as
practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly
unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire
hazards.
D Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at
contact tip when not in use.
D Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy
shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
D Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,
from your person before doing any welding.
D Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B
for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.
FLYING METAL can injure eyes.

D Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding
cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool,
they can throw off slag.
D Wear approved safety glasses with side
shields even under your welding helmet.
OM-2252 Page 2
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.

D Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.
D Always ventilate confined spaces or use
approved air-supplied respirator.
HOT PARTS can cause severe burns.

D Do not touch hot parts bare handed.

torch.
D To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or
wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and
clothing to prevent burns.
MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers.

D Pacemaker wearers keep away.
D Wearers should consult their doctor before
going near arc welding, gouging, or spot
welding operations.
NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can
damage hearing.
D Wear approved ear protection if noise level is
high.
CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since
gas cylinders are normally part of the welding
process, be sure to treat them carefully.
D Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.
D Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary
support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.
D Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits.

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National
Research Council concluded that: The body of evidence, in the
committees judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to powerfrequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be
examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when
welding or cutting.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following
procedures:
OM-2252 Page 4
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.

2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from operator as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.
About Pacemakers:
Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor before welding or going near
welding operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above
procedures is recommended.

Information EMF
Considrations sur le soudage et les effets de basse frquence et des

champs magntiques et lectriques.
Le courant de soudage, pendant son passage dans les cbles de soudage, causera des champs lectromagntiques. Il y a eu et il y a encore un
certain souci propos de tels champs. Cependant, aprs avoir examin
plus de 500 tudes qui ont t faites pendant une priode de recherche
de 17 ans, un comit spcial ruban bleu du National Research Council a
conclu : Laccumulation de preuves, suivant le jugement du comit, na
pas dmontr que lexposition aux champs magntiques et champs lectriques haute frquence reprsente un risque la sant humaine .
Toutefois, des tudes sont toujours en cours et les preuves continuent
tre examines. En attendant que les conclusions finales de la recherche
soient tablies, il vous serait souhaitable de rduire votre exposition aux
champs lectromagntiques pendant le soudage ou le coupage.
Pour rduire les champs magntiques sur le poste de travail, appliquer
les procdures suivantes :
OM-2252 Page 8
1. Maintenir les cbles ensemble en les tordant ou en les enveloppant.

2. Disposer les cbles dun ct et distance de loprateur.
3. Ne pas courber pas et ne pas entourer pas les cbles autour de
votre corps.
4. Garder le poste de soudage et les cbles le plus loin possible de
vous.
5. Connecter la pince sur la pice aussi prs que possible de la soudure.
En ce qui concerne les stimulateurs cardiaques
Les porteurs de stimulateur cardiaque doivent consulter leur mdecin
avant de souder ou dapprocher des oprations de soudage. Si le mdecin approuve, il est recommand de suivre les procdures prcdentes.

Mode Switch
Use Mode switch to determine both process

Panel/Remote Control Switch
For front panel control, place switch in Panel

position and use the V/A Adjust control to set
amperage or voltage, depending on Mode
switch selection.
For remote control, make connections to Remote 14 receptacle (see Section 4-11), and
place switch in Remote position. In TIG
modes, output available through the remote
control is a percent of the V/A Adjust control
setting. Value selected on V/A Adjust control
OM-2252 Page 20
is maximum output available through the remote control. In the MIG, CC, and V-Sense
feeder modes, a remote control provides full
range of unit output regardless of V/A Adjust
control setting. A remote control is not functional in Air-Carbon Arc or Stick modes. If
connection to Remote 14 receptacle is removed and Panel/Remote control switch remains in Remote position, output is controlled
with the V/A Adjust control.
6
V/A (Voltage/Amperage) Adjust Control
With Mode switch in any Stick or TIG position,

use control to adjust amperage from 5 to 500
amps. With Mode switch in a V-Sense Feeder
or MIG position, use control to adjust voltage
from 10 to 38 volts.
7
Inductance/Dig Control
Control adjusts Dig when a Stick or CC mode

is selected on mode switch. When set towards minimum, short-circuit amperage at
low arc voltage is the same as normal welding
amperage. When set to max, control increases short-circuit amperage at low arc
voltage. This allows the operator to use a

very short arc length without sticking the
electrode. As control is adjusted, the amount
of Dig selected is displayed on the amps meter as a percentage (0 to 100%) of full range,
and dig is displayed on the volts meter.
When Air-Carbon Arc mode is selected, Dig
is internally set to max.
Control adjusts inductance when MIG or VSense Feeder position is selected on mode
switch. Inductance determines the wetness
of the weld puddle. As setting is increased towards maximum, wetness (puddle fluidity)
increases. As control is adjusted, the amount
of inductance selected is displayed on the
amps meter as a percentage (0 to 100%) of
full range, and ind is displayed on the volts
meter.
This control is not functional when one of the
TIG modes is selected.
Change control setting to best suite
application.

5-3. Lift-Arc TIG Procedure For CC/CV Models

With Mode switch in the Lift-Arc TIG
position, start an arc as follows:
1
Touch
12
Seconds
TIG Electrode
Workpiece
Touch tungsten electrode to workpiece at weld start point, hold

electrode to workpiece for 1-2
seconds, and slowly lift electrode.
An arc will form when electrode is
lifted.
Normal open-circuit voltage is not
present before tungsten electrode
touches workpiece; only a low
sensing voltage is present between
electrode and workpiece. The
solid-state output contactor does
not energize until after electrode is
touching workpiece. This allows
electrode to touch workpiece without overheating, sticking, or getting
contaminated.
Do NOT Strike Like A Match!
