SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this entire section of operating instructions
before operating the machine.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Unless using cold feed feature, when
feeding with gun trigger, the elec-
trode and drive mechanism are
always electrically energized and
could remain energized several sec-
onds after the welding ceases.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrodes
with your skin or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from the work and ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
-----------------------------------------------------------
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.
• Keep your head out of fumes.
• Use ventilation or exhaust to remove
fumes from breathing zone.
-----------------------------------------------------------
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or
explosion.
• Keep flammable material away.
• Do not weld on containers that have
held combustibles.
-----------------------------------------------------------
ARC RAYS can burn.
• Wear eye, ear, and body protection.
Observe additional guidelines detailed in the
beginning of this manual.

OPERATION
POWER WAVE® 405M
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The POWER WAVE® 405M semi-automatic power
source is designed to be a part of a modular, multi-
process welding system. Depending on configuration,
it can support constant current, constant voltage, and
pulse welding modes.
The POWER WAVE® 405M power source is
designed to be used with the semi automatic family of
Power Feed wire feeders, operating as a system.
Each component in the system has special circuitry to
"talk with" the other system components, so each
component (power source, wire feeder, user interface)
knows what the other is doing at all times. These com-
ponents communicate with Linc-Net.
The POWER WAVE® 405M is a high performance,
digitally controlled inverter welding power source
capable of complex, high-speed waveform control.
Properly equipped, it can support the GMAW, GMAW-
P, FCAW, SMAW, GTAW, and CAC-A processes. It
carries an output rating of 350 Amps, 34 Volts at 60%
duty cycle and 300 Amps, 32 volts at 100% duty
cycle.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND
EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The POWER WAVE® 405M can be set up in a num-
ber of configurations, some requiring optional equip-
ment or welding programs. Each machine is factory
preprogrammed with multiple welding procedures, typ-
ically including GMAW, GMAW-P, FCAW, GTAW, and
CAC-A for a variety of materials, including mild steel,
stainless steel, cored wires, and aluminum.
The POWER WAVE® 405M is recommended for
semi-automatic welding, and may also be suitable for
basic hard automation applications.
• This POWER WAVE® is not recommended for
processes other than those listed.
