WARNING
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAUTIONS
WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER'S SAFETY PRACTICES THAT SHOULD BE BASED ON
MANUFACTURERS' HAZARD DATA.
ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill
Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.
Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.
Ensure your working óstance is safe.
FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health
Keep your head out of the fumes.
Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone and
the general area.
ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin.
Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective
clothing.
Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
FIRE HAZARD
Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing
Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.
Warn bystanders of the risk.
MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.

3 INTRODUCTION
LKB 265, LKB 265 4WD, LKB 320 and LKB 320 4WD are step controlled power sources in
a compact design, intended for welding with solid steel, stainless steel or aluminium wire as
well as tubular wire with or without shielding gas.
The possibility of welding with homogeneous wire/shielding gas and welding with gasless
tubular wire is obtained by switching the + and - connections on the switching terminal above
the wire feed unit.

6 MAINTENANCE
Regularly maintenance is important for reliable and safe operations.
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorised personnel) may
remove the safety plates to connect or carry out service, maintenance or repair work on
welding equipment.
Blow down the power source with dry, compressed air at a low pressure.
Cleaning and replacement of the wire feed mechanism's wear parts should take place
periodically to ensure trouble free wire feed.
Note that an excessive pressure setting can result in abnormal wear on the pressure
roller, feed roller and wire liner.
Blow clean the wire liner regularly and clean the gas nozzle.

The brake hub
The hub is adjusted when delivered, if readjustment is required, follow the instructions below.
Adjust the brake hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire feed stops.
Adjusting the braking torque:
WARNING!
Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.
7 ORDERING OF SPARE PARTS
