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 and CUTTING 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 materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

    To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment to which this engine driven welder supplies power must: • Be grounded to the frame of the welder using a grounded type plug or be double insulated. • Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries explosive or combustible material.

  • Page 16: Remote Control

    6-pin Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically switches the OUTPUT control from control at the welder to remote control. When in TOUCH START TIG mode and when a Amptrol is connected to the 6-Pin Connector, the OUTPUT dial is used to set the maximum current range of the CURRENT CONTROL of the Amptrol.

    (30-50V). Also, the cur- rent is turned On and Off by a gun trigger, which also controls the wire feed. Therefore, the welder is not exposed to open circuit voltage unless the trigger is turned on and the wire is feeding. Also, electrodes are not changed as frequently as for stick welding (MMAW).

  • Page 25: Starting Technique

    BREAK-IN PERIOD The engine used to supply power for your welder is a heavy duty, industrial engine. It is designed and built for rugged use. It is very normal for any engine to use small quantities of oil until the break-in is accom- plished.

  • Page 26: Duty Cycle

    WELDER OPERATION DUTY CYCLE Duty Cycle is the percentage of time the load is being applied in a 10 minute period. For example a 60% duty cycle, represents 6 minutes of load and 4 minutes of no load in a 10 minute period.

    WIRE WELDING-CV Connect a wire feeder to the VANTAGE® 575 CUM- MINS according to the instructions in INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Section. The VANTAGE® 575 CUMMINS in the ”CV-WIRE” position, permits it to be used with a broad range of flux cored wire (Innershield and Outershield) elec- trodes and solid wires for MIG welding (gas metal arc welding).

  • Page 28: Paralleling

    B-10 PARALLELING When paralleling machines in order to combine their outputs, all units must be operated in the CC-STICK mode only at the same output settings. To achieve this, turn the WELD MODE switch to the CC-STICK position. Operation in other modes may produce errat- ic outputs, and large output imbalances between the units.
