WELDING 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.

Place the machine on a secure, level surface or rec- ommended undercarriage. The machine may topple over if this procedure is not followed. To minimize over heating, locate the welder in a dry location where there is free circulation of clean air. Do not place on com- bustible surfaces.
SHIELDING GAS CONNECTION (FIGURE A.5) REGULATOR CYLINDER VALVE HOSE GAS CYLINDER Refer to Figure A.5. 1. Chain the cylinder to a wall or other stationary sup- port to prevent the cylinder from falling over. Insulate the cylinder from the work circuit work ground.
The machine can be used for welding carbon and low- alloy steel with CO 2 or argon/CO 2 mixture shielding gas. The welder can also be used without gas for the self-shielded, Innershield electrode process. The machine is configured for the Flux Cored Arc Welding process as delivered from the factory.
WELDING CAPABILITY The machine is rated at 70 amps, 17 volts, at 20% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is capable of high- er output currents at lower duty cycles. LIMITATIONS The machine is recommended for welding on mild steel up to 1/8”...
FIGURE B.3 – WIRE THREADING DETAILS Spring Loaded Thumb Screw Ingoing Guide Tube Wire Wire Feed Lower Drive Roll Refer to Figure B.3. 4. Release the spring loaded thumbscrew and lift up the idle roll arm away from the wire feed drive roll. Ensure that the visible, stenciled size on the drive roll side facing you matches the wire size being used.

2. Select and install the welding wire to match the process. Use Genuine Lincoln Electric Brand wire. Wire quality is essential for successful welding. 3. Install the drive roll, contact tip, and nozzle appro- priate for the weld process.
OPERATION CLEANING TIP AND GAS NOZZLE Clean the contact tip and gas nozzle to avoid arc bridging between them. Bridging can result in a short- ed nozzle, poor welds and an overheated gun. Hint: Anti-stick spray or gel, available from a welding supply distributor, may reduce buildup and aid in spatter removal.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 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 condi- tion that may prevent safe performance or operation.
• Unplug the machine or turn the power switch to the OFF - “0” position. • Blow dirt out of the welder with low pressure air to eliminate excessive dirt and dust buildup that could cause the welder to run hot.
3. Remove the Thumbscrew holding the drive roll. 4. Replace the drive roll so that the desired size, sten- ciled on the side of the drive roll, is toward the inside and visible. 5. Replace the Thumbscrew and tighten. GUN ASSEMBLY REMOVAL 1.
