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.

    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..

    DEFINITION OF WELDING TERMS • Wire Feed Speed • Constant Current • Constant Voltage GMAW • Gas Metal Arc welding SMAW • Shielded Metal Arc welding FCAW • Flux Core Arc Welding GENERAL DESCRIPTION General Physical Description The LN25 PRO EXTREME is specially engineered to be the most rugged portable wire feeder available.
  • Page 18: Case Front Controls

    (See Customer Assistance Policy in the front of this Instruction Manual) CASE FRONT CONTROLS 1. ANALOG VOLTMETER The analog voltmeter shows the voltage between electrode and work. On across the arc models, the voltmeter shows open circuit voltage when the wire feeder is not welding.
  • Page 19 2. WIRE FEED SPEED KNOB The large, calibrated wire feed speed knob makes for easy and accurate adjustment of the wire feed speed. The knob rotates 3/4 turn. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the wire feed speed, and counter clockwise to reduce the wire feed speed. Models with analog voltmeters have a calibrated scale printed around the wire feed speed knob using "in/min"...
  • Page 20 For best results, keep the gun cable and conduit as straight as possible. 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. 6. POLARITY LED The Polarity LED lights when the wire feeder is connected for positive polarity.

  • Page 22 OPERATION CV/CC SWITCH (See Figure B.2) The CV/CC switch sets the wire feed speed control method for the wire feeder. In the CV position, the wire feed speed remains constant during welding. A steady arc voltage is regulated by the power source by adjusting the arc current.
  • Page 23: Constant Current Wire Welding

    For these reasons, Lincoln Electric does NOT recom- mend constant current semiautomatic welding for applications which need to meet specified weld metal chemical or mechanical property requirements or weld quality requirements.
  • Page 24: Rear Controls

    REAR CONTROLS: GAS PURGE PUSHBUTTON The gas solenoid valve will energize but neither the power source output nor the drive motor will be turned on. The Gas Purge switch is useful for setting the proper flow rate of shielding gas. Flow meters should always be adjusted while the shielding gas is flowing.
