WELDING PROCESS

For any electrodes the procedures should be kept within the
rating of the machine. For electrode information see the
appropriate Lincoln publication.

STICK (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING

Connect welding cables to the "TO WORK" and "ELECTRODE"
studs. Start the engine. Set the "Polarity" switch to the desired
polarity. The "RANGE" switch markings indicate the maximum
current for that range as well as the typical electrode size for
that range. The "OUTPUT" Control provides ne adjustment of
the welding current within the select range. For maximum
output within a selected range set the "OUTPUT" Control at 10.
For minimum output within a selected range set the "OUTPUT"
Control at 5. ("OUTPUT" Control settings below 5 may reduce
arc stability) For best overall welding performance set the
"RANGE" Switch to the lowest setting and the OUTPUT"
Control near the maximum to achieve the desired welding
current.

90 MAX. 3/32
145 MAX. 1/8
225 MAX. 5/32
The EAGLE™ 10,000 Plus can be used with a broad range of DC
stick electrodes. See "Welding Tips 1" included with the EAGLE™
10,000 Plus for electrodes within the rating of this unit and
recommended welding currents of each.

SCRATCH START TIG (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING

The EAGLE™ 10,000 Plus can be used for Scratch-Start of DC
TIG welding applications. To initiate a weld, the course and ne
output control knobs must be set for the desired current. The
tungsten electrode is then scratch on the work which establishes
the arc.
To stop the arc, simply lift the TIG torch away from the work
piece. The tungsten may then be scratched on the work piece to
restrike the arc.
If a high frequency start is desired, the K930-2 TIG Module can be
be used with the EAGLE™ 10,000 Plus. The settings are
referenced.
The EAGLE™ 10,000 Plus and any high frequency generating
equipment must be properly grounded. See the K930-2 TIG
Module operating manuals for complete instructions on installation,
CURRENT RANGE
operation and maintenance.
40 TO 90 AMPS
When using the TIG Module, the OUTPUT control on the EAGLE™
10,000 Plus is used to set the maximum range of the CURRENT
70 TO 145 AMPS
CONTROL on the TIG Module or an Amptrol if connected to the TIG
Module.
120 TO 225 AMPS

ARC GOUGING

The EAGLE™ 10,000 Plus can be used for limited arc gouging.
Set the Range switch to adjust output current to the desired level
for the gouging electrode being used according to the ratings in
the following table:
