A-2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM THIS INSTALLATION. Turn the input power OFF at the disconnect switch or fuse box before attempting to connect or disconnect input power lines, output cables or control cables. Only qualified personnel should perform this installation. Do not touch metal portions of the work clip when the welding power source is on. Do not attach the work clip to the wire feeder. Connect the work clip directly to the work, as close as possible to the welding arc. Turn power off at the welding power source before disconnecting the work clip from the work. Only use on power sources with open circuit voltages less than 110 V DC. ------------------------------------------------------------------- LOCATION For best wire feeding performance, place the on a stable and dry surface. Keep the wire feeder in the upright position. Do not operate thewirefeederonanangledsurfaceofmorethan 15degrees. Donotsubmergethe.

A-4 WIRE DRIVE CONFIGURATION (SeeFigureA.1) CHANGING THE GUN RECEIVER BUSHING WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. Turn the input power OFF at the welding power source before installation or changing drive rolls and/or guides. Do not touch electrically live parts. When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are "hot" to work and ground and could remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger is released. Do not operate with covers, panels or guards removed or open. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Toolsrequired: 1/4"hexkeywrench.

PROCEDURE TO INSTALL DRIVE ROLLS AND WIRE GUIDES WARNING Turn the input power OFF at the welding power source before installation or changing drive rolls and/or guides. Do not touch electrically live parts. When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are "hot" to work and ground and could remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger is released.

A-5 PRESSURE ARM ADJUSTMENT INSTALLATION LOADING SPOOLS OF WIRE A-5 WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. Turn the input power OFF at the welding power source before installation or changing drive rolls and/or guides. Do not touch electrically live parts. When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are "hot" to work and ground and could remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger is released. Do not operate with covers, panels or guards removed or open. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The pressure arm controls the amount of force the driverollsexertonthewire.properadjustmentofthe pressure arm gives the best welding performance. Many welding problems can be attributed to setting thepressurearmtoohighandcausingwiredeformation. Set the pressure arm to minimum amount that providesreliablefeeding. Setthepressurearmasfollows: Coredwires between1and3 Steel,Stainlesswires between3and5 Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from rotating equipment. Do not wear gloves when threading wire or changing wire spool. Only qualified personnel should install, use or service this equipment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPOOL RETAINER Whenloadingandremovingthe8 spoolsmakesure that the wing nut(inside the wire reel spindle hub) is turned 90 from the wire reel spindle locking tabs. If thewingnutispositionedinlinewiththelockingtabs, the tabs cannot be depressed to load or unload the wirespool.(seefiga.2) The wire spool must be pushed all the way on the spindle so that both the spindle s tabs will hold it in place. The wire spool will rotate counter clockwise whenwireisde-reeled. SPOOL BRAKE WARNING Adjust the spool brake with wire spool installed, to provide enough friction to stop wire overrun. To adjust the brake turn the wing nut clockwise to increase the brake, and counterclockwise to loosen thebrake. FIGURE A.2 Excessivebrakeforcemaycausemotorthermaloverloadsorweldingproblems.

A-10 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE TO INSTALL CONDUIT BUSHING FOR THE WIRE FEEDER UNIT A-10 WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Turn off the Welding Power Source before installing or changing drive rolls and / or guides. When inching with gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are "hot" to work and ground. Only qualified persons should install, use or service this machine. PROCEDURE TO INSTALL CONDUIT BUSHING 1. Turn OFF Welding Power Source. 2. Loosen the set screw which secures the existing incoming guide bushing and remove the incoming guide bushing from the wire feed head (See Fig 1). WIRE FEED HEAD SET SCREW INCOMING GUIDE BUSHING FIG 1 3. Insert flex tube into new conduit bushing. Insert the thumb screw into the new conduit bushing and tighten the thumb screw. The thumb screw threads will lock the flex tube into place (See Fig. 2). 4. Install the new conduit bushing, flex tube and thumb screw into the wire feed head. 5. Tighten the set screw.

B-1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS READ AND UNDERSTAND ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE. OPERATION B-1 GRAPHIC SYMBOLS THAT APPEAR ON THIS MACHINE OR IN THIS MANUAL WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. Unless using COLD FEED feature, when feeding with gun trigger, the electrode and drive mechanism are always electrically energized and could remain energized several seconds after the welding ceases.. The work clip is energized any time the output of the welding power source is ON, even when the feeder is not welding. Do not touch electrically live part or electrode with skin or wet clothing. Insulate yourself from work and ground. Always wear dry insulating gloves. The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing the wire feeder is and must be the sole responsibility of the builder/user. Many variables beyond the control of The Lincoln Electric Company affect the results obtained in using the wire feeder. These variables include, but are not limited to, welding procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, fabrication methods and service requirements. The available range of the wire feeder may not be suitable for all applications, and the builder/user is and must be solely responsible for welding settings. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FUMES AND GASSES can be dangerous. Keep your head out of fumes.

B-5 Trigger Interlock Trigger Interlock operation provides for operator comfort when making long welds. When the gun trigger is first pulled, the welding power source energizes the output and the wire feeder feeds wire for welding. The gun trigger is then released while the weld is made.

CAUTION If the arc goes out while welding with trigger interlock operation, the electrode output from the welding power source remains energized and the wire feeder will continue to feed wire until the gun trigger is again pulled and then released. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.

Many variables beyond the control of The Lincoln Electric Company affect the results obtained in using the wire feeder. These variables include, but are not limited to, welding procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, fabrication methods and service requirements. The available range of the wirefeeder may not be suitable for all applications, and the builder/user is and must be solely responsible for welding settings.

Set the wire feed speed knob to this value.

B-7 CONSTANT CURRENT OPERATION (SeeFigureB.5) CAUTION Lincoln Electric does NOT recommend constant current semiautomatic welding for applications which need to meet specified weld metal chemical or mechanical property requirements or weld quality requirements. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Most semiautomatic welding processes perform better usingconstantvoltagepowersources. Weldingcodesusuallydonotaddressthepowersource selection or specifically, whether the welding process is tobeoperatedintheconstantvoltageorconstantcurrent mode.instead,codestypicallyspecifylimitationsonthe current, voltage, heat input and preheat temperature based on the material to be welded. The intention is to assurethatproperweldmaterialpropertieswilldevelop. OPERATION B-7 If the contact tip to work distance is properly maintained,asatisfactoryoperatingvoltagerangemaybe achieved, and a sound weld may result. However, when a welder uses a longer contact tip to work distance, an arc-sensing wire feeder compensates by increasingthewirefeedspeedtoregulatethevoltage. Evenifthevoltageandcurrentremainunchanged,the increased wire feed speed may result in a deposition ratewellbeyondthespecifiedrangeoftheelectrode. Undertheseconditions,thespecifiedweldmetalpropertiesmaynotbeachieved.
