ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill. D Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense D Always ventilate confined spaces or use visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin.
1-3. Additional Symbols For Installation, Operation, And Maintenance FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard. MOVING PARTS can cause injury. D Do not install or place unit on, over, or near D Keep away from moving parts such as fans. combustible surfaces. D Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards D Do not install unit near flammables.
1-5. EMF Information Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency 1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them. Electric And Magnetic Fields 2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator. Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro- magnetic fields.

3-2. Voltmeter And Wire Feed Speed Meter Operation Voltmeter Wire Feed Speed Meter Power Up Status Both meters display zeros at unit power up. After one second, preset values appear on both meters. The MIG gun settings (not spool gun) are always the default at initial power up of the unit.
SECTION 4 – MAINTENANCE &TROUBLESHOOTING 4-1. Routine Maintenance Maintain more often Y Disconnect power during severe conditions. before maintaining. 3 Months Replace unreadable labels Repair or replace cracked weld cable Clean and tighten weld terminals 6 Months Remove drive roll and Blow out or vacuum inside.
4-4. Replacing Gun Contact Tip Y Turn Off power. Nozzle Contact Tip Cut off welding wire at contact tip. Remove nozzle. Remove contact tip and install new contact tip. Reinstall nozzle. Tools Needed: Ref. 800 797-C 4-5. Changing Drive Roll and Wire Inlet Guide Securing Screw Inlet Wire Guide Loosen screw.
4-6. Aligning Drive Rolls and Wire Guide Y Turn Off power. View is from top of drive rolls look- ing down with pressure assembly open. Drive Roll Securing Nut Correct Incorrect Drive Roll Wire Guide Welding Wire Drive Gear Insert screwdriver, and turn screw in or out until drive roll groove lines up with wire guide.
4-7. Cleaning Or Replacing Gun Liner Tools Needed: Y Disconnect gun from unit first. 5/16 in, 10 mm Head Tube Remove nozzle, contact tip, and adapter. 5/16 in 10 mm Remove liner. Lay gun cable out straight before installing new liner. To Reassemble Gun: Blow out gun casing.
4-8. Replacing Switch And/Or Head Tube Y Disconnect gun first. Remove handle locking nut. Slide handle. Remove switch housing. Note: If installing new switch, push switch lead connectors onto terminal of new switch (polarity is not important). Install switch back into handle, and secure with handle locking nut. If replacing head tube, continue to end of figure.
4-9. Troubleshooting Trouble Remedy Be sure line disconnect switch is On (see Section 2-13). No weld output; wire does not feed. Replace building line fuse or reset circuit breaker if open (see Section 2-13). Reset circuit breaker CB1 (see Section 4-2). Secure gun trigger connections (see Section 2-6).
