to avoid the hazards.

1-2. Arc Welding Hazards

Y The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual to

call attention to and identify possible hazards. When you see

the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions to

avoid the hazard. The safety information given below is only

a summary of the more complete safety information found in

the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and follow all

Safety Standards.

Y Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and

repair this unit.

Y During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks

or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is

electrically live whenever the output is on. The input

power circuit and machine internal circuits are also

live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the

wire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching the

welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly

grounded equipment is a hazard.

D Do not touch live electrical parts.

D Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.

D Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats

or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work

or ground.

D Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if

there is a danger of falling.

D Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.

D If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on

unit.

D Additional safety precautions are required when any of the follow-

ing electrically hazardous conditions are present: in damp

locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such

as floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such

as sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when there is a high risk of unavoid-

able or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these

conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a

semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual

(stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit volt-

age. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder

is recommended. And, do not work alone!

D Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or

servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).

D Properly install and ground this equipment according to its

Owner’s Manual and national, state, and local codes.

D Always verify the supply ground − check and be sure that input

power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in

disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly

grounded receptacle outlet.

D When making input connections, attach proper grounding conduc-

tor first − double-check connections.

D Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring −

replace cord immediately if damaged − bare wiring can kill.

D Turn off all equipment when not in use.

D Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.

D Do not drape cables over your body.

D If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directly

with a separate cable.

D Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,

or another electrode from a different machine.

D Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding ma-

chines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will be

present.

D Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged

parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.

D Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.

D Keep all panels and covers securely in place.

D Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece

or worktable as near the weld as practical.

D Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent

contact with any metal object.

D Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any

single weld output terminal.

SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter-type

welding power sources after removal of input

power.

D Turn Off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge input

capacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Section

before touching any parts.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing

these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your

health.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

D Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.

D If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the

arc to remove welding fumes and gases.

D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.

D Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)

and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables,

coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.

D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while

wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch-

person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and

lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breath-

ing air is safe.

D Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying op-

erations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form

highly toxic and irritating gases.

D Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or

cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld

area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied

respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements

can give off toxic fumes if welded.

OM-224 043 Page 2

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense

visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays

that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the

weld.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

D Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of fil-

ter lenses to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching

(see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards).

D Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your

helmet.

D Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,

glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.

D Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant mate-

rial (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.

Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,

drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks

can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot

workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and

burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause

sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is

safe before doing any welding.

WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

D Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If

this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.

D Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.

D Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.

D Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can

easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

D Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

D Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can

cause fire on the hidden side.

D Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes,

unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 (see

Safety Standards).

D Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as

practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly

unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire

hazards.

D Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.

D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at

contact tip when not in use.

D Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy

shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

D Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,

from your person before doing any welding.

D Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B

for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.

FLYING METAL can injure eyes.

D Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding

cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool,

they can throw off slag.

D Wear approved safety glasses with side

shields even under your welding helmet.

BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.

D Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.

D Always ventilate confined spaces or use

approved air-supplied respirator.

HOT PARTS can cause severe burns.

D Do not touch hot parts bare handed.

D Allow cooling period before working on gun or

torch.

D To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or

wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and

clothing to prevent burns.

MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers.

D Pacemaker wearers keep away.

D Wearers should consult their doctor before

going near arc welding, gouging, or spot

welding operations.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can

damage hearing.

D Wear approved ear protection if noise level is

high.

Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high

pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since

gas cylinders are normally part of the welding

process, be sure to treat them carefully.

CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

D Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechani-

cal shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.

D Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary

support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.

D Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits.

D Never drape a welding torch over a gas cylinder.

D Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder.

D Never weld on a pressurized cylinder − explosion will result.

D Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fit-

tings designed for the specific application; maintain them and

associated parts in good condition.

D Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve.

D Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in

use or connected for use.

D Use the right equipment, correct procedures, and sufficient num-

ber of persons to lift and move cylinders.

D Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders,

associated equipment, and Compressed Gas Association (CGA)

publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency

Electric And Magnetic Fields

Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro-

magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such

fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17

years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National

Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the

committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-

frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”

However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be

examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you

may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when

welding or cutting.

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following

procedures:

1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.

2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.

3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from opera-

tor as practical.

5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possi-

ble.

About Pacemakers:

Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor before welding or going near

welding operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above

procedures is recommended.

P3 Push Button

Press P3 until desired process LED illumi-

nates.

Values and parameters that appear on D1

and D2 are either factory default settings or

last settings entered for the selected pro-

cess.

L1 selection is Manual MIG welding.

D1 value is welding voltage, default is

18.5V (range is 10 V to 50 V).

D2 value is wire feed speed, default is 5.0

m/min (range is 1 m/min to 20 m/min). See

Section 4-10.

L2 selection is Synergic MIG welding (non-

pulsed).

D1 value is trim, default is 0.0 T (range is

−5.0 T to 5.0 T).

D2 value is wire feed speed (from minimum

to maximum value according to welding

curve selection).

. When L2 is flashing, material transfer

in the arc is by large droplets (globular

transfer) and produces considerable

spatter. This is the result of selecting a

specific material, wire, gas, voltage,

and current combination. To avoid this

situation, Synergic Pulsed MIG weld-

ing with the same parameter combina-

tion is recommended. When L2 is On

continuously (not flashing), material

transfer in the arc is either short circuit

(Short Arc) or by small droplets (Spray

Transfer). Both MIG processes pro-

vide a stable arc and minimum spatter.

L3 selection is Synergic Pulsed MIG weld-

ing.

D1 value is trim, default is 0.0 T (range is

−5.0 T to 5.0 T).

D2 value is wire feed speed (from minimum

to maximum value according to welding

curve selection).

L4 selection is TIG welding or STICK weld-

ing.

If selected process is TIG:

D1 displays TIG, and D2 value is welding

current, default is 220 A (range is 10 A to

400 A).

If selected process is STICK:

D1 initially displays STICK and changes to

open circuit voltage at approximately 85 V,

and D2 value is welding current, default is

220 A (range is 10 A to 400 A).
