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.

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.

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.
