Gouging Kit Operation - Lincoln Electric POWER FEED 84 SINGLE Operator's Manual

POWER FEED 84, POWER FEED 84 DUAL OPERATION

GOUGING KIT OPERATION

The gouging kit provides a method to switch between wire welding
processes and a gouging process. The electrode power path is
automatically routed through the wire feeder based upon the weld
mode selected. FCAW and GMAW modes route the power to the wire
drive; CAG modes route power to the gouging stud.
When in the gouging mode, the output to the power source is turned
ON and the gouging output stud will be at electrode potential. Actual
voltage and amperage are displayed on the user interface.
Changing from a weld mode to gouging, or gouging to welding may
not be done while actively welding or gouging.
When 2 single wire drives, both with a gouging kit, are connected to
one user interface, only one gouging stud may be active at a time. To
switch from gouging from wire drive 1 to wire drive 2, first place wire
drive 1 into a welding mode. Then place wire drive 2 into a gouging
mode and active the output.
