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.
• Keep cylinder away from areas where it may be damaged. • Never lift welder with cylinder attached. • Never allow welding electrode to touch cylinder. • Keep cylinder away from welding or other live electrical circuits.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS READ AND UNDERSTAND ENTIRE SECTION bEFORE OPERATING MACHINE. WARNING • ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. Unless using COLD FEED fea- ture, when feeding with gun trig- ger, the electrode and drive mechanism are always electri- cally energized and could remain energized several sec- onds after the welding ceases..
General Physical Description The LN-25™ IRONWORKER is specially engineered to be the most rugged portable wire feeder available and meets the individual welder needs. The plastic case is molded from a high impact, flame retardant plastic for durability and low weight. The patent pending design keeps the internal components protected and dry.

Perform regular maintenance and cleaning on the gun liner, conduit and gun. Always use quality electrode, such as L-50 or L-56 from Lincoln Electric. POWER-UP SEQUENCE All of the LED’s will briefly illuminate during power-up. If the gun trigger is activated during power up, the feeder will not operate until the gun trigger is released.

WIRE FEED SPEED UNITS To change the wire feed speed units: Rotate the WFS knob to left “inches/minute” for the wire feed speed units. O O WFS Rotate the WFS knob to right “meters/minute” for the wire feed speed units. Then rotate the WFS knob to the 12 o’clock position.
Page 22
LEFT DISPLAY SELECTION The left display can show either amperage or actual WFS during welding. Note that actual WFS is not the same as preset WFS. For example, the preset WFS may be set to 400 ipm, but the arc voltage is only 15V. The actual WFS will be approximately 280 ipm because there is not enough arc voltage to run at 400 ipm.
