A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

  • Page 3: Electric Shock Can Kill

    ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
  • Page 4 WELDING and CUTTING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

  • Page 14: Recommended Work Cable Sizes

    RECOMMENDED WORK CABLE SIZES FOR ARC WELDING Connect the electrode and work cables between the appropriate output studs of the Power Wave S350 per the following guidelines: • Most welding applications run with the electrode being positive (+). For those applications, connect the electrode cable between the wire drive feed plate and the positive (+) output stud on the power source.

  • Page 15: Cable Inductance And Its Effects On Welding

    Sense Lead Kits (K940-xx) are available for this pur- pose. The Power Wave S350 has the ability to automatically sense when remote sense leads are connected. With this feature there are no requirements for setting-up the machine to use remote sense leads.
  • Page 16 "Voltage Sensing Considerations for Multiple Arc Systems." Negative Electrode Polarity The Power Wave S350 has the ability to automatically sense the polarity of the sense leads. With this fea- ture there are no set-up requirements for welding with negative electrode polarity.

  • Page 17: Voltage Sensing Considerations For Multiple Arc Systems

    A-10 VOLTAGE SENSING CONSIDERATIONS FOR MULTIPLE ARC SYSTEMS Special care must be taken when more than one arc is welding simultaneously on a single part. Multiple arc applications do not necessarily dictate the use of remote work voltage sense leads, but they are strong- ly recommended.
  • Page 18 A-11 • For circumferential applications, connect all work leads on one side of the weld joint, and all of the work voltage sense leads on the opposite side, such that they are out of the current path. (See Figure 8.A) POWER SOURCE INSTALLATION...

    Select the weld mode that best matches the desired welding process. The standard weld set shipped with the Power Wave S350 encompasses a wide range of common processes that will meet most needs. If a special weld mode is desired, contact the local Lincoln Electric sales representative.

  • Page 25: Constant Voltage Welding

    SMAW (STICK) WELDING The welding current and Arc Force settings can be set through a Power Feed 10M or Power Feed 25M wire feeder. Alternatively an optional Stick / TIG UI can be installed into the power source to control these set- tings locally.
  • Page 26 OPERATION Most pulse welding programs are synergic. As the wire feed speed is adjusted, the Power Wave® S350 will automatically recalculate the waveform parame- ters to maintain similar arc properties. The Power Wave® S350 utilizes “adaptive control” to compensate for changes in the electrical stick-out while welding.
