Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. 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 4.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a weld- ing area.

• Keep cylinder upright and chained to support. • Keep cylinder away from areas where it may be damaged. • Never lift welder with cylinder attached. • Never allow welding electrode to touch cylinder. • Keep cylinder away from welding or other live elec- trical circuits. -

When the power source is properly set, the arc gap is maintained automatically. SP-100 Welder and controls Arc welding is a manual skill requiring a steady hand, good physical condition, and good eyesight. -

Cored wire Burning of core materials inside wire electrode results in shield of gas. Protective slag Weld metal Molten pool The cored wire melts in the arc and tiny droplets of molten metal shoot across the arc into the molten pool. -

The Correct Electrical Stickout Contact tip Wire electrode 3/8 - 1/2” Electrical Stickout The electrical stickout (ESO) is the distance from the end of the contact tip to the end of the wire. Once the arc has been established, maintaining the correct ESO becomes extremely important. -

steel can usually be easily welded without special pre- cautions. Some steels, however, contain higher car- bon levels or other alloys and are more difficult to weld. Basically, if a magnet sticks to the metal and if you can easily cut the metal with a file, chances are good that you will be able to weld the material with the SP-100. -
Page 19: The Gmaw (Mig) Welding Arc
Vertical-Up and Overhead Welding The problem, when welding vertical-up, is to put the molten metal where it is wanted and make it stay there. If too much molten metal is deposited, gravity will pull it downwards and make it “drip.” Therefore, a certain technique has to be followed. -
Page 20: Machine Setup For The Gmaw (Mig) Process
MACHINE SETUP FOR THE GMAW (MIG) PROCESS 1. See “Recommended Processes and Equipment” for selection of welding wire and shielding gas and for range of metal thicknesses that can be welded. 2. See the “Welding ” chart on the inside of wire feed section door or in this manual for information on setting the controls. -
Page 21: Troubleshooting Welds
TROUBLESHOOTING WELDS Good welds have excellent appearance. To Eliminate Porosity (in order of importance) — Turn on gas supply, if used 1. Decrease voltage 2. Increase stickout 3. Increase WFS (wire feed speed) 4. Decrease drag angle 5. Decrease travel speed. NOTE: Always be sure the joint is free from mois- ture, oil, rust, paint or other contaminant's. -
Page 22: Routine Maintenance
Perodically As Required • Blow dirt out of the welder with low pressure air to eliminate excessive dirt and dust buildup that could cause welder to run hot. • Vacuum accumulated dirt from gearbox and wire feed section. - Page 23 • Replace Liner - when wire feeding problems occur and other items have been checked. NOTICE: The variation in cable lengths prevents the interchangeability of liners. Once a liner has been cut for a particular gun, it should not be installed in another gun unless it can meet the liner cutoff length requirement.
