A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
  • 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 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.

  • Page 9: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING The electrode circuit (including welding wire, wire drive and welding gun) is electrically hot when the welding power source is on. The gun trigger controls wire feed only. Disconnect or shut off welding power source before making connections or installations to the LN-35. The LN-35 should be positioned upright on a horizontal surface.

    Set ELECTRODE POLARITY switch to constant voltage polarity required by electrode. d. Set toggle switch to “Constant Voltage” and set the Constant Voltage Control on welder and the portable field control on #5 for initial start. SA-200, —250 OR SAE-300, —400 (WITH CV ADAPTER) a.
  • Page 11: Weld Cable Connection

    WELD CABLE CONNECTION The size of the electrode cable and work cable must be sufficient for the maximum weld current and total cable length to be used. Refer to table A.1. TABLE A.1 Total Cable Length Weld Current 60% Duty Cycle 50’-100’...
  • Page 12: Operation

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS READ AND UNDERSTAND ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live part or electrode with skin or wet clothing. • Insulate yourself from work and ground. • Always wear dry insulat- ing gloves.
  • Page 13: Work Clip Lead

    WORK CLIP LEAD WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch metal por- tions of the LN-35 lead clip when welding source is on. WARNING IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: To avoid possible electrical shock, do not touch the metal portions of the LN-35 work lead clamp if the power source output is on.
  • Page 14: Loading Wire Drive

    This is an approximate setting. The optimum idle roll setting can be determined as follows: 1. Press end of gun against a solid object that is electrically isolated from the welder output. Press TIE WIRE the gun trigger for several seconds. SPRING 2.
  • Page 15: Presetting Wire Feed Speed

    PRESETTING WIRE FEED SPEED The LN-35 permits accurate presetting of the desired wire feed speed, before welding, in both CV and CC wire feed modes. SETTING CONSTANT WIRE FEED SPEED (CV MODE) a. Set Wire Feed Mode switch to CV position. b.

    • Keep cylinder away from areas where it may be damaged. • Never lift welder with cylinder attached • Never allow welding electrode to touch cylin- der. • Keep cylinder away from welding or other live electrical circuits.
  • Page 18: Automatic Protection Shutdown

    CC (formerly VV) power sources, on the other hand, permit the arc voltage to decrease with increases in welding current. The output characteristics of these power sources can range from a “drooping slope,” which provide minor arc voltage changes with weld current variations, to “steep slope”...
  • Page 19: Maintenance

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Have qualified personnel do the maintenance work. Turn the engine off before working inside the machine. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
  • Page 20: Adjusting Speed Sensor Module

    ADJUSTING SPEED SENSOR MODULE The LN-35 Speed Sensor Module is a three lead Hall Effect switch device encased in an externally threaded housing which is screwed into a mounting plate on the motor side of the wire drive gearbox. Proper positioning of this module is critical to proper operation of the LN-35 wire feed speed control.
  • Page 21: How To Use The Troubleshooting Guide

    HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Service and Repair should only be performed by Lincoln Electric Factory Trained Personnel. Unauthorized repairs performed on this equipment may result in danger to the technician and machine operator and will invalidate your factory warranty. For your safety and to avoid Electrical Shock, please observe all safety notes and precautions detailed throughout this manual.
  • Page 22 Observe all Safety Guidelines detailed throughout this manual PROBLEMS (SYMPTOMS) No wire feed when gun trigger is pulled. Wire feeds for a short time but stops feeding. When gun trigger is released and retriggered wire feeding starts but stops again. Wire feeds OK, but stubs or stops while welding.
  • Page 23 Observe all Safety Guidelines detailed throughout this manual PROBLEMS (SYMPTOMS) Variable or “hunting” arc. Weld porosity, narrow and ropey bead, or electrode stubbing into plate when welding. Motor feeds but there is no wire feed speed control. If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your Local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.
