INTRODUCTION
We
learn
by
experience,
Learning
safety
through
personal
experience,
like
a
child
touching
a
hot
stove
is
har~~ful,
wasteful,
anti
unwise.
Let
the
experience
of
others
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
weld
ing
and
cutting
are
descnbed
in
this
manual.
Research,
devel
opment.
and
field
experience
have
evolved
reliable
equipment
and
safe
installation,
operation,
and
servicing
practices.
Acci
denes
occur
when
equipment
is
impropaily
used
or
main
tained.
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.
Reed
and
understand
these
safe
practices,
before
attempting
to
instil,
operate,
or
service
the
equipment.
Comply
with
these
procedures
as
applicable
to
the
particular
equipment
used
and
their
instruction
manuals,
for
personal
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
others.
Failure
to
observe
these
safe
practices
may
cause
serious
in
jury
or
death.
When
safety
becomes
a
habit,
the
equipment
can
be
used
with
confidence.
These
safe
practices
are
divided

Prevention
Causes
of
fire
and

are:
combustibles
readied
by
the
arc,
flame.
ftying
sparks,
hot
slag
or
heated
material;
misuse
of
compressed
gases
and
cylinders;
and
short
circuits.
BE
AWARE
THAT
flying
sparks
or
falling
slag
can
pass
through
cracks,
along
pipes,
through
windowz
or
doors,
and
through
wall
or
floor
openings,
out
of
sight
of
the
goggled
operator,
Sparks
and
slag
can
fly
35
feet.
To
prevent
fires
and
explosion:
Keep
equipment
clean
and
operable,
free
of
oil,
grease,
and
(in
electrical
parts)
of
metallic
particles
that
can
cause
short
circuits.
If
combustibles
are
in
area,
do
NOT
weld
or
cut.
Move
the
work
if
practicable,
to
an
area
free
of
combustibles.
Avoid
paint
spray
rooms,
dip
tanks,
storage
areas.
ventulators.
If
the
work
cannot
be
moved,
move
combustibles
at
least
35
feet
away
our
of
reach
of
sparks
and
heat:
or
protect
against
ignition
with
suitable
and
snug-fitting,
fire-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Walls
touching
combustibles
on
opposite
sides
should
not
be
welded
on
(or cut).
Walls,

near
work
should
be
protected
by
heat-resistant
covers
or
shields.

WELD
OUTPUT
CONNECTiONS
-
To
obtain
the
full
rated
output
from
this
unit,
it
is
necessary
to
select,
install,
and
maintain
proper
welding
cables.
Failure
to
comply
in
any
of
these
areas
may
result
in
less
than
satisfactory
welding
performance.
A.
Location
The
ELECTRODE
and
WORK
weld
output
terminals
are
ocated
on
the
lower
portion
of
the
front
panel.
B.
Welding
Cables
If
welding
cables
were
not
ordered
with
this
unit,
the
steps
listed
should
be
followed
to
ensure
the
best
welding
performance:
1.
It
is
recommended
that
the
welding
cables
be
-
kept
as
short
as
possible,
be
placed
close
together,
and
be
of
adequate
current
carrying
capacity.
The
resistance
of
the
welding
cables
-
and
connections
causes
a
voltage
drop
which
is
added
to
the
voltage
of
the
arc.
Excessive
cable
resistance
may
result
in
overloading
as
well
as
reducing
the
maximum
current
output
capability
of
this
unit.
Proper
operation
is
to
a
great
extent
dependent
on
the
use
of
welding
cables
and
con
nections
that
are
in
good
condition
and
of
ade
quate
size.
An
insulated
electrode
holder
must
be
used
to
ensure
the
operators
safety.
2.
Use
Table
3-2
as
a
guide
for
selecting
correct
cable
size
for
the
anticipated
maximum
weld
cur
rent
which
will
be
used.
Table
3-2
shows
total
cable
length,
which
includes
the
electrode
and
work
cable.
Example:
If
the
electrode
holder
cable
is
75
feet
long
and
the
work
cable
is
25
feet
long,
select
the
size
cable
that
is
recommended
for
100
feet
at
the
maximum
weld
current
that
is
to
be
used.
3.
Do
not
use
damaged
or
frayed
cables.
4.
Follow
the
electrode
holder
manufacturers
in
structions
for
installing
the
electrode
holder
onto
the
electrode
cable.
5.
Use
correct
tugs
on
the
weld
cables
to
connect
the
work
clamp
and
to
connect
the
cables
to
the
weld
output
terminals.
6.
Ensure
that
all
connections
are
clean
and
tight.

METERS
-
This

is
equip
ped
with
an
ac
ammeter
and
an
ac
voltmeter.
These
meters
are
internally
connected
to
the
welding
power
source
weld
output
terminals.
The
ammeter
indicates
the
weld
current
output
of
the
welding
power
source.
The
vottmet~r
indicates
the
ac
voltage
at
the
secondary
terminals,
but
will
not
necessarily
indicate
the
actual
voltage
at
the
welding
arc.
If
the
welding
cables
are
ex
cessively
long,
or
have
poor,
loose
connections,
the
dif
ference
between
actual
arc
voltage
and
the
voltage
at
the
welding
power
source
secondary
terminals
may
be
considerable.
If
actual
arc
voltage
readings
are
necessary,
make
remote
voltage
sensing
connections
as
instructed
in
Section
3-9.
The
voltmeter
will
then
read
actual
arc
voltage
regardless
of
weld
cable
length
or
connections.
