ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld. D Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards).
1-3. Additional Symbols For Installation, Operation, And Maintenance FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard. D Do not install or place unit on, over, or near combustible surfaces. D Do not install unit near flammables. D Do not overload building wiring – be sure power supply system is properly sized, rated, and protected to handle this unit.
1-5. EMF Information Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro- magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the committee’...

LES RAYONS DE L’ARC peuvent pro- voquer des brûlures dans les yeux et sur la peau. Le rayonnement de l’arc du procédé de soudage génère des rayons visibles et invisibles intenses (ultraviolets et infrarouges) susceptibles de provoquer des brûlures dans les yeux et sur la peau. Des étincelles sont projetées pendant le soudage.
1-3. Dangers supplémentaires en relation avec l’installation, le fonctionnement et la maintenance Risque D’INCENDIE OU D’EXPLOSION. D Ne pas placer l’appareil sur, au-dessus ou à proxi- mité de surfaces infllammables. D Ne pas installer l’appareil à proximité de produits inflammables D Ne pas surcharger l’installation électrique –...

Tighten hex nut until a slight drag is felt while turning hub.
Use chipping hammer to remove slag after welding. sb4.1 2/93 Power Switch Use this switch to turn unit On and Off. Purge Push Button Momentarily energizes gas sole- noid to purge air from gun shielding gas line, or to adjust shielding gas regulator.
3-4. Indicator Lights Gas Indicator Light Gas sight turns on when the gas valve is energized to indicate shielding gas flow. Contactor Indicator Light Contactor light turns on when the welding power source contactor is energized to indicate that weld output is available.
3-5. Burnback Control Tools Needed: Non-Conductive OM-884 Page 20 Burnback circuitry keeps welding wire from sticking to workpiece after arc is extinguished. This circuitry keeps weld output on welding wire from 0 to 0.25 seconds after wire has stopped feeding. This delay action permits welding wire to burn back to a point where it neither sticks to workpiece or contact tip.
