3 INTRODUCTION
PSF 305, 405 and 505 form a series of self--cooling swan neck welding guns.
PSF 410W and 510W form a series of water--cooled swan neck welding guns. PSF 405 RS3, 410W
RS3 and 510W RS3 guns are equipped with program selectors for switching between preset
programs. (Programs are preset at the welding power source.)
Information about the construction of the guns and the spare parts available in the form of illustrations
and lists can be found in the spare parts register .
This welding gun is available in a variety of types; for more information see the spare parts register on
page 69.
A range of accessories including welding tips, swan necks and contact nozzles are also available.
Details of ESAB’s welding gun accessories can be found on page 78.

Intermittance factor
The intermittence factor specifies the proportion of any ten minute period, expressed as a percentage,
during which it is possible to weld using a specific load without the welding gun being overloaded.

5 CONSUMABLES
5.1 Contact nozzle
The hole size of the contact nozzle is determined by the diameter of the electrode, the type of inert
gas and the level of current used. See accessories on page 78, tables 1--3.
When selecting a contact nozzle, you should first look at the short--arc table (CO
2
). Where sheaves
are produced at high welding temperatures with Argon or other inert gases, choose a contact nozzle
using the spray arc table.
5.2 Electrode conductor
The spiral steel wire guide that comes as standard with the welding gun can be used for all types of
electrode of the intended size, except those made from stainless steel or aluminium.
Teflon coated wire guides are suitable for welding with all types of electrode (Al, Ss, and Fe).
However , it is recommended that Teflon coated wire guides are not used when welding using Fe and
CW electrodes that are thicker than 1.2 mm due to the increased instance of wear. Teflon coated wire
guides produce less friction but have a considerably shorter life than the standard steel spiral.
In order to ensure that you enjoy a satisfactory level of wire feed, select a wire guide using table 4 on
page 80.
5.3 Replacing electrode conductors
1. Fit the correct nipple
ESAB Connection EURO Connection
NB Each wire guide is supplied with 2 nipples, 1 for ESAB connection and 1 for EURO
connection.
2. Remove th e gas cover and middle n o zzle.
3. Fit th e wire gu id e in the h o se package.
a) Turn the connecting section clockwise until resistance is met
b) The wire guide should go in

4. Cut the wire guide to the correct length.
During cutting, the welding gun must be stretched out with the wire guide fully inserted in the rear
connector. Cut the wire guide using a projectile “X” as shown in the table below.

PSF 510W, PSF 510W RS3 4.5 m 0366 394 002 25 mm
No sharp edges must be present on the inside of the wire guide after cutting.
5. Re--fit the middle nozzle and gas cover
6. Fit the welding gun on the machine.
5.4 Gas nozzle
There is a spray protector fitted inside the gas nozzle. This must be in position during welding in order
to prevent the welding spray jamming and thereby causing a short circuit in the swan neck.
Gas nozzles with larger and smaller openings are available as accessories for each type of gun. See
the spare parts list for more details.
5.5 Gas protection
Several factors come into play for good gas protection. The most important ones are:
1. Selection of inert gas -- Mixed gas and Argon require a greater flow than carbon dioxide
2. Set flow quantity -- See Technical data (to be measured at the gas nozzle).
3. Set welding current -- High welding currents require greater gas flows.
4. Position of welding joint -- A vertical position requires greater gas flow
5. T ype of welding joint -- External corner joints require a greater gas flow than butt joints.
Conversely, fillet joints require a lower gas flow.
6. Smoke evacuation on gun -- Using smoke evacuation increases the need for inert gas by
10--12%
7. Angle of welding gun to
the job.
-- Angling the gun at less than 45˚ may result in poor gas protec-
tion.
5.6 Gas flow meter
A gas flow meter to measure gas flow through the gun is available as an accessory (item no. 0155
716 880).

6OPERATION
General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment appear from
page 28. Read through before you start using the equipment!
7 MAINTENANCE
A regular programme of care and maintenance reduces unnecessary and expensive downtime.
1. Welding spray in the gas nozzle diminishes gas protection and increases the danger of
spark--over.
--Clean the equipment on a regular basis and use sparing amounts of welding paste or welding
spray.
2. The spray protector in the gas nozzle must be replaced once its front end wears thin.
3. Each time an electrode bobbin is changed, the welding hose should be removed from the supply
unit and blown clean with compressed air.
4. The electrode end must not have sharp edges when inserted into the wire guide. This is
especially important when using Teflon coated wire guides.
