INTRODUCTION
-
We
learn
by
exper!ence.
Learning
safety
through
personal
exp~riance,
liLe
a
child
touching
a
hot
stove
is
harmful,
wasteful,
arid
un
wise.
Let
the
experience
of
others
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
welding
and
cutting
are
described
in
this
manual.
Research,
development,
and
field
experience
have
evolved
reliable
equipment
and
safe
installation,
opera
tion,
and
servicing
practices.
Accidents
occur
when
equipment
is
improperly
used
or
maintained.
The
reason
for
the
safe
practices
may
not
always
be
given.
Some
are
based
on
common
sense,
others
may
require
technical
volumes
to
explain.
It
is
wiser
to
follow
the
rules.
Read
and
understand
these
safe
practices
before
at
tempting
to
install,
operate,
or
service
the
equipment.
Comply
with
these
procedures
as
applicable
to
the
par
ticular
equipment
used
and
their
instruction
manuals,
for
personal
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
others.
Failure
to
observe
these
safe
practices
may
cause
serious
injury
or
death.
When
safety
becomes
a
habit,
the
equipment
can
be
used
with
confidence.
These
safe
practices
are
divided
into
two
Sections:
1
-
General
Precautions,
common
to
arc
welding
and
cutting;
and
2
-
Arc
Welding
(and
Cutting)
(only).
Reference
standards:
Published
Standards
on
safety
are
also
available
for
additional
and
more
complete
pro
cedures
than
those
given
in
this
manual.
They
are
listed
in
the
Standards
Index
in
this
manual.
ANSI
Z49.1
is
the
most
complete.
The
National
Electrical
Code,
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
Administration,
local
industrial
codes,
and
local
inspection
requirements
also
provide
a
basis
for
equip
ment
installation,
use,
and
service.
1-2.
GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
A.
Burn
Prevention
Wear
protective
clothing
-
leather
(or
asbestos)
gauntlet
gloves,
hat,
and
high
safety-toe
shoes.
Button
shirt
collar
and
pocket
flaps,
and
wear
cuff
less
trousers
to
avoid
entry
of
sparks
and
slag.
Wear
helmet
with
safety
goggles
or
glasses
with
side
shields
underneath,
appropriate
filter
lenses
or
plates
(protected
by
clear
cover
glass).
This
is
a
MUST
for
welding
or
cutting,
(and
chipping)
to
protect
the
eyes
from
radiant
energy
and
flying
metal.
Replace
cover
glass
when
broken,
pitted,
or
spattered.
See
1-3A.2.
Avoid
oily
or
greasy
clothing.
A
spark
may
ignite
them.
Hot
metal
such
as
electrode
stubs
and
workpieces
should
never
be
handled
with~iut
gloves.
Medical
first
aid
and
eye
treatment.
First
aid
facilities
and
a
qualified
fir~t
aid
person
should
be
available
for
each
shift
unless
medical
facilities
are
close
by
for
im
mediate
treatment
of
flash
burns
of
the
eyes
and
skin
burns.
Ear
plugs
should
be
worn
when
working
on
overhead
or
in
a
confined
space.
A
hard
hat
should
be
worn
when
others
work
overhead.
Flammable
hair
preparations
should
not
be
used
by
per
sons
intending
to
weld
or
cut.
B.
Toxic
Fume
Prevention
Adequate
ventilation.
Severe
discomfort,
illness
or
death
can
result
from
fumes,
vapors,
heat,
or
oxygen
enrichment
or
depletion
that
welding
(or
cutting)
may
pi~duce.
Prevent
them
with
adequate
ventilation
as
described
in
ANSI
Standard
Z49.1
listed
1
in
Standards
index.
NEVER
ventilate
with
oxygen.
Lead
-,
cadmium
-.
zinc
-,
mercury
-,
and
beryllium
-
bearing
and
similar
materials,
when
welded
(or
cut)
may
produce
harmful
concentrations
of
toxic
fumes.
Ade
quate
local
exhaust
ventilation
must
be
used,
or
each
person
in
the
area
as
well
as
the
operator
must
wear
an
air-supplied
respirator.
For
beryllium,
both
must
be
us
ed.
Metals
coated
with
or
containing
materials
that
emit
toxic
fumes
should
not
be
heated
unless
coating
is
removed
from
the
work
surface,
the
area
is
well
ven
tilated,
or
the
operator
wears
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Work
in
a
confined
space
only
while
it
is
being
ven
tilated
and,
if
necessary,
while
wearing
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Gas
leaks
in
a
confined
space
should
be
avoided.
Leaked
gas
in
large
quantities
can
change
oxygen
con
centration
dangerously.
Do
not
bring
gas
cylinders
into
a
confined
space.
Leaving
confined
space,
shut
OFF
gas
supply
at
source
to
prevent
possible
accumulation
of
gases
in
the
space
if
downstream
valves
have
been
accidently
opened
or
left
open.
Check
to
be
sure
that
the
space
is
safe
before
re-entering
it.
Vapors
from
chlorinated
solvents
can
be
decomposed
by
the
heat
of
the
arc
(or
flame)
to
form
PHOSGENE,
a
highly
toxic
gas,
and
other
lung
and
eye
irritating
pro
ducts.
The
ultraviolet
(radiant)
energy
of
the
arc
can
also
decompose
trichloroethylene
and
per
chloroethylene
vapors
to
form
phosgene.
DO
NOT
WELD
or
cut
where
solvent
vapors
can
be
drawn
into
the
welding
or
cutting
atmosphere
or
where
the
radiant
energy
can
penetrate
to
atmospheres
containing
even
minute
amounts
of
trichioroethylene
or
per
chloroethylene.

5.
Pressurizing
Steps:
Drain
regulator
of
residual
gas
through
suitable
vent
before
opening
cylinder
(or
manifold
valve)
by
turning
adjusting
screw
in
(clockwise).
Draining
prevents
ex
cessive
compression
heat
at
high
pressure
seat
by
allowing
seat
to
open
on
pressurization.
Leave
adjusting
screw
engaged
slightly
on
single-stage
regulators.
Stand
to
side
of
regulator
while
opening
cylinder
valve.
Open
cylinder
valve
slowly
so
that
regulator
pressure
in
creases
slowly.
When
gauge
is
pressurized
(gauge
reaches
regulator
maximum)
leave
cylinder
valve
in
following
position:
For
oxygen,
and
inert
gases,
open
fully
to
seal
stem
against
possible
leak.
For
fuel
gas,
open
to
less
than
one
turn
to
permit
quick
emergency
shutoff.
Use
pressure
charts
(available
from
your
supplier)
for
safe
and
efficient,
recommended
pressure
settings
on
regulators.
Check
for
leaks
on
first
pressurization
and
regularly
there-after.
Brush
with
soap
solution
(capful
of
Ivory
Liquid*
or
equivalent
per
gallon
of
water).
Bubbles

arc
is
intense
and
visibly
bright.
Its
radia
i~ori
can
damage
eyes,
penetrate
lightweight
clothing,
reflect
from
light-colored
surfaces,
and
burn
the
skin
ard
eyes.
Skin
burns
resemble
acute
sunburn,
those
from
gas-shielded
arcs
are
more
severe
and
painful.
DONT
GET
BURNED;
COMPLY
WITH
PRECAU
TIONS.
1.

authority.
The
terminal
labeled
GROUND
is
connected
to
the

only.
Do
not
connect
a
conductor
from
the
terminal
labeled
GROUND
to
any
one
of
the

C.
Matching
The
Welding
Power
Source
To
The
Avail
able
Input
Voltage
The
input
voltage
jumper
links
provided
on
the
primary
ter
minal
board
permit
the
welding
power
source
to
be
operated
from
various
line
voltages.
The
various
voltages
from
which
this
unit
may
be
operated
are
stated
on
the
nameplate
and
on
the
input
voltage
label.
See
Figure
3-2
for
location
of
this
label.
The
input
voltage
jumper
links
are
positioned
for
the
highest
of
the
voltages
stated
on
the
nameplate.
If
the
weld
ing
power
source
is
to
be
operated
from
a
line
voltage
which
is
lower
than
the
highest
voltage
for
which
the
unit
was
designed,
the
jumper
links
will
have
to
be
moved
to
the
proper
positions
before
operating
the
unit.
Figure
3-3
shows
the
various
positions
of
the
jumper
links
on
the
standard
welding
power
source.
If
the
input
voltages
on
the
name
plate
differ
from
those
shown
in
Figure
3-3,
the
input
voltage
jumper
links
must
be
positioned
as
shown
on
the
input
voltage
label.
NOTE
If
only
one
jumper
link
is
required
on
each
of
the
grouped
terminals,
it
is
recommended
that
the
unused
jumper
links
be
placed
across
the
terminals
which
are
to
be
used.
This
will
prevent
losing
the
jumper
links
which
are
not
required
for
this
connection.

SECONDARY
CONNECTIONS
(Figure
4-1)
The
POSITIVE
and
NEGATIVE
secondary
terminals
are
located
behind
the
lower
front
access
panel.
The
access
panel
which
covers
the
secondary
terminals
is
secured
by
two
fas
teners.
To
open
the
access
panel,
rotate
the
fasteners
counler
clockwise
one
full
turn.
Likewise,
so
close
the
panel,
rotate
the
fasteners
clockwise
one
full
turn.
A.
Welding
Cables
It
is
recommended
that
the
welding
cables
be
kept
as
short
as
possible,
placed
close
together,
and
be
of
adequate
current
carrying
capacity.
The
resistance
of
the
welding
cables
and
connections
cause
a
voltage
drop
which
is
added
to
the
volt
age
of
the
arc.
Excessive
cable
resistance
may
result
in
over
loading
as
well
as
reducing
the
maximum
current
output
of
which
the
welding
power
source
is
capable.
The
proper
opera
tion
of
any
arc
welding
power
source
is
to
a
great
extent
dependent
on
the
use
of
welding
cables
and
connections
that
are
in
good
condition
and
of
adequate
size.
Use
Table
3-2
as
a
guide
for
selecting
the
correct
welding
cable
size
for
the
anticipated
maximum
weld
current
that
will
be
used.
Table
3-2
takes
into
account
the
total
cable
length
for
the
weld
circuit.
This
means
the
length
of
the
Electrode
cable
that
connects
the
wire
feeder
to
the
welding
power
source
and
the
Work
or
ground
cable
between
the
welding
power
source
and
the
work
piece.
For
example:
if
the
Elec
trode
cable
is
75
feet
long
and
the
work
or
ground
cable
is
25
feet
long,
select
the
size
cable
from
Table
3-2
that
is
recom
mended
for
100
feet.
In
a
situation
where
a
maximum
weld
current
of
150
amperes
is
anticipated,
No.

cable
is
recommended
for

the
front
panel,
pro
vides
a
means
of
selecting
the
voltage
desired
within
the
load
voltage
slope
connection
range
being
used.
Rotating
the
con
trol
in
a
clockwise
direction
will
increase
the
load
voltage.
Whenever
a
Remote
Contactor
Control
is
to
be
used,
make
connections
to
she
CONTACTOR
CONTROL
Receptacle
)RC3)
on
the
welding
power
source
as
instructed
in
item
3~5.
In
order
for
a
Remote
Contactor
Control
Station
to
operate
the
contactor
in
the
welding
power
source,
the
Remote
Con
tactor
Control
must
be
able
to
supply
115
volts
ac
60
Hz
power
to
the
CONTACTOR
CONTROL
Receptacle
whenever,
weld
output
is
desired.
Also,
whenever
suspension
of
weld
output
is
desired,
the
Remote
Station
must
be
able
to
cut-off
the
115
volts
ac
supply
to
the
receptacle
(RC3).
Another
prerequisite
for
remote
control
of
the
contactor
is
to
have
the
CONTACTOR
CONTROL
Switch
on
the
welding
power
source
in
the
REMOTE
position.
If
this
switch
it
left
in
he
STANDARD
position,
the
contactor
will
energize
as
soon
as
the
POWER
Switch
is
positioned
to
ON.
The
CONTACTOR
CONTROL
Circuitry
(and
115

Re.
ceptaclea)
it
protected
by
a
15
ampere
fuse
)F2)
which
is
located
behind
the
right
front
side
panel.
If
this
fuse
should
open,
the
contactor
coil
would
de-energize
(if
the
CON
TACTOR
CONTROL
Switch
were
in
the
STANDARD
posi
don)
and
all
weld
output
would
be
suspended.
Alto,
if
this
fuse
should
open,
it
will
be
noted
that
115
volts
ac
would
not
be
available
at
the
115
VAC
Receptacles.
IMPORT
When
replacing
fuse
F2,
ensure
that
the
fuse
being
used
as
a
replacement
is
one
of
proper
size
and
rating.
A
fuse
of
larger
rating
will
permit
overloading
of
the
115
volts
circuitry
and
thereby
cause
damage
to
the
welding
power
source.
The
scale
surrounding
the
VOLTAGE

is
cali
brated
in
percentage
and
should
not
be
misconstrued
as
an
amperage
or

reading.
It
is
recommended
that
the

be
read
whenever
it
is
necessary
to
know
the

which
are
wired
in

Should
an

occur,
the
current

When

trips,
the

thereby
cause

suspend
all

METERS
(Figure

This
welding
power
source
is
equipped
with
a
dc
ammeter
and
a
dc
voltmeter.
These
meters
are
internally
connected
to
the
welding
power
source
weld
output
terminals,
The
volt.
meter
will
indicate
the
dc
voltage
at
the
secondary
terminals,
but
will
not
necessarily
indicate
the
actual
voltage
at
the
welding
arc.
If
the
welding
cables
are
excessively
long,
or
have
poor,
loose
connections,
the
difference
between
actual
arc
voltage
and
the
voltage
at
the
welding
power
source
secondary
terminals
may
be
considerable.
The
ammeter
will
indicate
the
weld
current
output
of
the
welding
power
source.
