WARNING: These Safety Precautions are for
your protection. They summarize precautionary
information from the references listed in Addi-
tional Safety Information section. Before per-
forming any installation or operating procedures, be sure to
read and follow the safety precautions listed below as well as
all other manuals, material safety data sheets, labels, etc.
Failure to observe Safety Precautions can result in injury or
death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
--
Some welding, cutting, and gouging pro-
cesses are noisy and require ear protec-
tion. The arc, like the sun, emits ultravio-
let (UV) and other radiation and can
injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns. Train-
ing in the proper use of the processes and equipment is
essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work
area, even if welding helmets, face shields, and goggles
are also required.
2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and ears from
sparks and rays of the arc when operating or observing
operations. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and not
to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arc or hot
metal.
3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeve
shirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a welding
helmet or cap for hair protection, to protect against arc
rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A flameproof apron may
also be desirable as protection against radiated heat and
sparks.
4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trouser
cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept
buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from the front of
clothing
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with
a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or
grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly far. By-
standers should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from
flames and arcs can start fires. Hot slag
or sparks can also cause fires and explo-
sions. Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the
work area or cover the materials with a protective non-
flammable covering. Combustible materials include wood,
cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints and
coatings, paper, etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices
in floors or wall openings and cause a hidden smoldering
fire or fires on the floor below. Make certain that such
openings are protected from hot sparks and metal.“
3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the
workpiece has been completely cleaned so that there are
no substances on the workpiece which might produce
flammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on closed
containers. They may explode.
4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use,
such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket, or
portable fire extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its
use.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
11/95
5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example,
overloaded welding cable can overheat and create a fire
hazard.
6. After completing operations, inspect the work area to
make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal which
could cause a later fire. Use fire watchers when neces-
sary.
7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B,
"Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Pro-
cesses", available from the National Fire Protection Asso-
ciation, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with
live electrical parts and ground can
cause severe injury or death. DO NOT
use AC welding current in damp areas,
if movement is confined, or if there is
danger of falling.
1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connected
to the ground system of the input power.
2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground.
3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or
missing connection can expose you or others to a fatal
shock.
4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or dam-
aged cables.
5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work area, cables,
torch/electrode holder, and power source.
6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated from
work and from ground.
7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while working
in tight quarters or a damp area; stand on dry boards or
an insulating platform and wear rubber-soled shoes.
8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the power.
9. Turn off the power before removing your gloves.
10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on next page)
for specific grounding recommendations. Do not mistake
the work lead for a ground cable.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
— May be dangerous. Electric current
flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields
(EMF). Welding and cutting current
creates EMF around welding cables
and welding machines. Therefore:
1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their physi-
cian before welding. EMF may interfere with some pace-
makers.
2. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are
unknown.
3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimize
exposure to EMF:
A. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure
them with tape when possible.
B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body.
C. Do not place your body between the torch and work
cables. Route cables on the same side of your body.
D. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
E. Keep welding power source and cables as far away
from your body as possible.
4
FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and
gases, can cause discomfort or harm,
particularly in confined spaces. Do
not breathe fumes and gases. Shield-
ing gases can cause asphyxiation.
Therefore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by
natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or gouge
on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel,
copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless positive
mechanical ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumes
from these materials.
2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying operations.
The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinated hydrocar-
bon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and
other irritant gases.
3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation
while operating, this is an indication that ventilation is not
adequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to improve
ventilation in the work area. Do not continue to operate if
physical discomfort persists.
4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below) for
specific ventilation recommendations.
CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders, if
mishandled, can rupture and violently
release gas. Sudden rupture of cylin-
der, valve, or relief device can injure or
kill. Therefore:
1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the proper
pressure reducing regulator designed to operate from the
compressed gas cylinder. Do not use adaptors. Maintain
hoses and fittings in good condition. Follow manufacturer's
operating instructions for mounting regulator to a com-
pressed gas cylinder.
2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain or
strap to suitable hand trucks, undercarriages, benches,
walls, post, or racks. Never secure cylinders to work
tables or fixtures where they may become part of an
electrical circuit.
3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have valve
protection cap in place if regulator is not connected.
Secure and move cylinders by using suitable hand trucks.
Avoid rough handling of cylinders.
4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, and flames.
Never strike an arc on a cylinder.
5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1,
"Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders", which is available from Compressed Gas
Association, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington,
VA 22202.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE -- Faulty or im-
properly maintained equipment can cause
injury or death. Therefore:
1. Always have qualified personnel perform the installation,
troubleshooting, and maintenance work. Do not perform
any electrical work unless you are qualified to perform
such work.
2. Before performing any maintenance work inside a power
source, disconnect the power source from the incoming
electrical power.
3. Maintain cables, grounding wire, connections, power cord,
and power supply in safe working order. Do not operate
any equipment in faulty condition.
4. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep equip-
ment away from heat sources such as furnaces, wet
conditions such as water puddles, oil or grease, corrosive
atmospheres and inclement weather.
5. Keep all safety devices and cabinet covers in position and
in good repair.
6. Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not
modify it in any manner.

1.1 General
Each torch in the HW-26 family is rated at 160 A (ACHF
or DCSP) continous duty and 220 A at 50% duty cycle
(using standard collet bodies). With gas lens collet
bodies, each torch is rated at 200 A (ACHF or DCSP)
continous duty. The hard body on the HW-26 provides
the best heat and abrasion resistance. The HW-26R
has a silicone rubber body which provides good high
frequency resistance. For reaching hard-to-get-at ap-
plications, the HW-26F uses a flexible head. All the
torches are air-cooled.

2.1 Setup and Installation
A. Connect the regulator/flowmeter to a gas cylin-
der. Refer to the instructions supplied with the
regulator/flowmeter for details on attaching and
adjusting the regulator.
B. Connect one end of the gas hose (P/N 40V77 or
34V38) to the regulator outlet and the other end
to the torch cable adaptor (P/N 45V62). On
torches with separate power cables, connect the
torch gas hose directly to the regulator outlet or
add one of the extension hoses by connecting
the argon coupling (P/N 11N17) between the
torch hose and the extension hose.
C. Connect the power cable adaptor or lug to the
welding power source, either directly or through
a suitable length of welding cable fitted with lugs.
D. Install collet body, collet, electrode, and cup on
torch (see Figure 2-1) as follows:
1. Screw in collet body. (If using a gas lens,
assemble insulator on collet body before
installing.)
2. Apply a thin coat of silicone grease to the
surface of the cup that mates with the torch
body and then screw on cup.
3. Remove torch cap and slide collet into posi-
tion (tapered end first).
4. Slip electrode down through hole in top of
collet until end of electrode extends beyond
rim of cup. (Exact extension is variable from
as little as 1/8 inch for butt welding with
standard collet bodies to 3/4 inch or more for
corner or fillet welds with gas lens collet
bodies and cups.)
NOTE
When using high frequency with sleeved high-
impact cups, arcing may sometimes occur be-
tween the electrode and the steel sleeve. To
avoid this, it is advantageous to extend the
electrode as far as possible consistent with the
particular application.
5. Screw on the torch cap and tighten. The cap
will press down on the collet to grip the
electrode securely. To readjust electrode,
loosen torch cap.
Figure 2-1. Exploded View of HW-26 Torch
2.2 Operating Instructions
A. Make sure that all gas connections in the system
have been securely tightened and that the torch
cap has been well-tightened.
B. With the regulator flow-adjusting valve closed,
open the gas cylinder or station valve.
C. Set the power source for the desired welding
current.
D. Open all shielding gas valves downstream from
the flowmeter or flowmeter/regulator (e.g., valve
on torch, lever-operated shutoff valve, or sole-
noid-operated valve in power source.)
E. Set shielding gas flow to the desired level, as
registered on flowmeter tube or gauge.
NOTE
Purge the gas hose by allowing the gas to flow long
enough (up to 15 minutes on new torch; less than 5
minutes thereafter) to drive out air and moisture. This will
help prevent weld contamination.
F. Close the control switch at work position or at
power source.
G. Draw a test arc on a heavy piece of scrap steel
or copper. (Do not use a carbon block, which will
tend to contaminate the electrode.)
H. If the test arc is satisfactory, commence weld-
ing.

3.1 Maintenance
If this equipment does not operate properly, stop work
immediately and investigate the cause of the malfunc-
tion. Maintenance work must be performed by an expe-
rienced person and electrical work by a trained electri-
cian. Do not permit untrained persons to inspect, clean,
or repair this equipment. use only recommended re-
placement parts.
A. A poor shielding gas connection, or a leaky
hose, will not only waste gas but permit the entry
of minute amounts of air, sufficient to contami-
nate both the electrode and the weld. Trouble
signs: a bluish cast on the electrode after it has
cooled; in welding aluminum, a dark gray de-
posit on or beside the weld bead.
B. If the argon valve leaks or operates improperly,
disassemble the valve as follows:
1. Unscrew the valve stem assembly (P/N
598279) until it clears the torch body.
2. Lift out and inspect the valve stem assem-
bly. If the stem or ball valve is damaged,
replace the entire assembly with a new one.
If the stem is in good condition, inspect the
two "O" rings. If they are worn, replace with
new ones.
NOTE
Prior to installing the new "O" ring, apply a
thin coat of silicone grease.
3. Reinstall the valve stem assembly, making
sure that the assembly is fully screwed into
the torch body so that the ball valve will seat
properly when the valve is in the closed
position.
C. Do not try to repair concentric power cable,
replace it. Two piece cable and hose assemblies
may be repaired using the repair kits noted in
parts breakdown. The kits include replacement
fittings and lug for the cable and hose.
D. If an electrode becomes contaminated, shut off
power, then remove electrode from torch. Break
off the contaminated end (nicking with a grinding
wheel first will help) and replace electrode.

E. Keep an eye on the sealing "O" ring on the torch
cap. If it shows signs of wear or distortion, cut it
off. Then install new ring (P/N 98W18). Apply a
little silicone grease to the new ring before
attempting to slide it over the cap threads.
3.2 Replacement of Gas Lens Screens In P/Ns
45V63, 995795, and 45V64 (See Figure 3-1)
Large diameter gas lens collet bodies contain re-
placeable screens. If plugged by spatter, replace as
follows:
A. With the collet body removed from the torch,
remove the outer snapring (P/N 54N71). This
can be done by using a small screwdriver, or an
electrode with a diameter no greater than 3/32
in. Insert the tip in the slot on the outer sleeve of
the collet body, and pry out the snapring.
B. Using a pair of needle nose pliers, pry out the
inner snapring (P/N 54N69).
C. Hold the collet body with the screens down, and
gently tap the body on the work bench. The body
contains three fine and one coarse screens,
separated by spacers. If the screens are not
badly fouled, they should drop out of the body.
Excessive fouling may necessitate prying out
the screens.
D. Inspect the screens and replace those which
show plugging or other damage.
E. Replace the screens and spacers making sure
that a spacer is installed between each screen,
and that the coarsest screen is inserted last.
Replace the snaprings.
