SECTION 3 − DEFINITIONS 3-1. Additional Safety Symbols And Definitions Some symbols are found only on CE products. Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards as shown by the symbols. Safe1 2012−05 Do not discard product (where applicable) with general waste. Reuse or recycle Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) by disposing at a designated collection facility.
Do not weld on drums or any closed containers. Safe64 2012−06 Do not remove or paint over (cover) the label. Safe20 2012−05 Drive rolls can injure fingers. Safe32 2012−05 Welding wire and drive parts are at welding voltage during operation − keep hands and metal objects away. Safe33 2012−05 Wear hat and safety glasses.
SECTION 4 − SPECIFICATIONS 4-1. Serial Number And Rating Label Location The serial number and rating information for this product is located inside the door. Use rating label to determine input power requirements and/or rated output. For future reference, write serial number in space provided on back cover of this manual. 4-2.
B. Information On Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) This equipment shall not be used by the general public as the EMF limits for the general public might be exceeded during welding. This equipment is built in accordance with EN 60974−1 and is intended to be used only in an occupational environment (where the general public access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use) by an expert or an instructed person.
5-2. Installing Drive Rolls Installing Drive Rolls: Drive Roll Securing Nut Drive Roll Carrier Turn nut one click until lobes of nut Installing Drive Rolls line up with lobes of drive roll carrier. Drive Roll Slide drive roll onto drive roll carrier. Turn nut one click.
5-3. Connecting Welding Gun And Voltage Sensing Clamp Turn Off wire feeder and welding power source. Stop engine on welding generator. Weld voltage is present at voltage sensing clamp when wire feeder and welding power source are on. This condition exists even if wire feeder lights and meters are off.
5-4. Connecting Shielding Gas NOTICE − This feeder has a shield- ing gas filter that requires special attention when cleaning. See Sec- tion 7-3 for proper cleaning instruc- tions. Gas Hose With 5/8-18 Right-hand Thread Fittings Rear View (User−Supplied) Tighten gas hose fitting to a maximum of 100 in.
5-6. Selecting Cable Sizes* Turn off power before connecting to weld output terminals. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or repaired cables. NOTICE − The Total Cable Length in Weld Circuit (see table below) is the combined length of both weld cables. For example, if the power source is 100 ft (30 m) from the workpiece, the total cable length in the weld circuit is 200 ft (2 cables x 100 ft).
5-9. Meter Board (PC20) DIP Switch Settings Display Hold On Displays will hold their last value for five seconds 1 2 3 4 5 after the trigger is released. After the hold times out, the Voltmeter will show open circuit voltage or weld voltage polarity.
SECTION 6 − OPERATION 6-1. Controls With Meters Power Control Switch Trigger Hold Switch Trigger hold allows operator to weld without hold- ing gun trigger. To use trigger hold function, place trigger hold switch in the ON position. The operator must hold the trigger for a minimum of 2 seconds, but no longer than 6 seconds be- fore releasing it.
6-2. Controls Without Meters Power Control Switch Trigger Hold Switch Trigger hold allows operator to weld without holding gun trigger. To use trigger hold function, place trigger hold switch in the ON position. The operator must hold the trigger for a mini- mum of 2 seconds, but no longer than 6 sec- onds before releasing it.
6-3. Wire Speed Dual Schedule Wire Speed Dual Schedule allows the oper- ator to switch between standard wire speed and a reduced wire speed. When activated, the reduced wire speed will be 87.5% of the standard wire speed. Wire Speed Dual Schedule may be activated any time before or during the weld by using a gun with an in- Weld Gun With Internal Mounted...

Unit overheated. Allow unit to cool. Check sensing lead connection. Check gun trigger plug connection. Check gun trigger.
Trouble Remedy Gun trigger is pressed, gas does not If a welding arc is not established in 3 seconds, after the gun trigger is activated, the unit will feed wire flow, wire is not energized, wire feeds. without energizing the contactor or gas valve. The unit will feed approximately 35 feet (10.7 meters) of wire, then stop feeding.
