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
Dirt, dust, or any foreign material that can be drawn into the welder should be kept at a minimum. Using filters on the air intake to prevent dirt from building up restricts air flow. -

Page 15: General Description
Surface Tension transfer process (STT) for mild steel and stainless steel. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT The POWER WAVE 455 STT must be used with the Power Feed family of wire feeders. These feeders are required to access and make use of the many of the welding features contained in the POWER WAVE 455 STT. -
Page 16: Welding Capability
WELDING CAPABILITY The POWER WAVE 455 STT is rated at 60 Hz. 450A@ 38V. 100% duty cycle or 570A@ 43V 60% duty cycle - 50 Hz. 400A@ 36V, 100% duty cycle or 500A@40V 60% duty cycle. The machine is capable of higher outputs at lower duty cycles. -
Page 17: Welding Adjustments
The actual voltage for a given wire feed speed is not directly predictable unless the waveform is known. In this case, it is not practical to preset an actual voltage for the procedure.
