  • Page 3: Electric Shock Can Kill

    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.
  • Page 4 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 materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

    Table A.1 located below are copper cable sizes rec- ommended for different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing cable drop.
  • Page 10: Coaxial Weld Cable

    COAXIAL WELD CABLE Coaxial welding cables are specially designed welding cables for STT™ and pulse welding. Coaxial weld cables feature low inductance, allowing fast changes in the weld current. Regular cables have a higher inductance which may distort the STT™ waveshape. Inductance becomes more severe as the weld cables become longer.
