SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GMAW WELDING GUNS READ BEFORE USING
DANGER! − Indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining
symbols or explained in the text.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury. The
possible hazards are shown in the adjoining
symbols or explained in the text.
This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out!
ELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT
PARTS hazards. Consult symbols and related
instructions below for necessary actions to avoid
the hazards.
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 welding power source Owner’s
Manual. Read and follow all Safety Standards.
Only qualified persons should install, operate,
maintain, and repair this equipment. A qualified
person is defined as one who, by possession of a
recognized degree, certificate, or professional
standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training
and experience, has successfully demonstrated
ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the
subject matter, the work, or the project and has
received safety training to recognize and avoid the
hazards involved.
During operation, keep everybody, especially
children, away.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Always wear dry insulating gloves.
Insulate yourself from work and
ground.
Do not touch live electrode or electrical
parts.
Replace worn, damaged, or cracked
guns or cables.
Turn off welding power source before
changing contact tip or gun parts.
Keep all covers and handle securely in
place.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.
Keep your head out of the fumes.
Ventilate area, or use breathing device.
The recommended way to determine
adequate ventilation is to sample for the
composition and quantity of fumes and
gases to which personnel are exposed.
Read and understand the Safety Data
Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s
instructions for adhesives, coatings,
cleaners, consumables, coolants,
degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
Keep away from moving parts.
Keep away from pinch points such as
drive rolls.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
Do not weld near flammable material.
Do not weld on containers that have held
combustibles, or on closed containers
such as tanks, drums, or pipes unless
they are properly prepared according to
AWS F4.1 and AWS A6.0 (see Safety
Standards).
Watch for fire; keep extinguisher nearby.
Read and understand the Safety Data
Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s
instructions for adhesives, coatings,
cleaners, consumables, coolants,
degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
1-2 Arc Welding Hazards
1-1 Symbol Usage
Protect yourself and others from injury read, follow, and save these important safety precautions and
operating instructions.
5
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.
Shut off compressed gas supply
when not in use.
Always ventilate confined spaces or
use approved air-supplied respirator.
WELDING WIRE can injure.
Keep hands and body away from gun tip
when trigger is pressed.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
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.
Wear an approved welding helmet
fitted with a proper shade of filter
lenses to protect your face and eyes
from arc rays and sparks when
welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1
and Z87.1 listed in Safety
Standards).
Wear approved safety glasses with
side shields under your helmet.
Use protective screens or barriers to
protect others from flash, glare and
sparks; warn others not to watch the
arc.
Wear body protection made from
durable, flame-resistant material
(leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body
protection includes oil-free clothing
such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a
cap.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s
Manual carefully before installing, operating,
or servicing unit. Read the safety
information at the beginning of the manual
and in each section.
Use only genuine replacement parts from
the manufacturer.
Perform installation, maintenance, and
service according to the Owner’s Manuals,
industry standards, and national, state, and
local codes.
HOT PARTS can burn.
Allow gun to cool before touching.
Do not touch hot metal.
Protect hot metal from contact by
others.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment
can damage hearing.
Check for noise level limits exceeding
those specified by OSHA.
Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs
if noise level is high.
Warn others nearby about noise
hazard.

1-5 EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The current
from arc welding (and allied processes including spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, and induction heating
operations) creates an EMF field around the welding circuit.
EMF fields may interfere with some medical implants, e.g.
pacemakers. Protective measures for persons wearing
medical implants have to be taken. For example, restrict
access for passers-by or conduct individual risk
assessment for welders. All welders should use the
following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF
fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them,
or using a cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables.
Arrange cables to one side and away from the
operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the
welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power
source.
7. Do not weld while carrying the welding power source or
wire feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor
and the device manufacturer before performing or going near
arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or
induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then
following the above procedures is recommended.

SECTION 3MAINTENANCE
3-1 TREGASKISS™ NOZZLE AND TOUGH LOCK™ CONSUMABLES
IMPORTANT:
Neck Insulator must be in place before welding to maintain insulation of neck armor.
Be sure all parts are tightened well before welding.
When using the heavy duty retaining head make sure it is tightened with a 5/8” wrench to prevent overheating
of contact tip.
To prevent scoring on heavy duty retaining head do not use pliers.
Removal and Replacement
Pull slip-on nozzles off with a clockwise twisting motion.
When installing nozzle, exposed insulator should nest inside neck insulator to assure concentricity.
Neck insulators are positioned on the end of the neck with the large insulated counterbore facing the nozzle.
Replace nozzle retainer with deep counterbore toward the neck. Tighten until retainer and neck insulator are
secure.
3-2 SWITCH REPLACEMENT
STEP #1
