5.
Place
the
welding
power
source
LOAD
VOLTAGE
RANGE
switch
in
the
desired
position.
Due
to
the
circuitry
limitations
of
the
Remote
Control,
the
welding
power
source
may
not
be
used
in
the
MEDIUM
range
while
using
the
Remote
Control.
It
will
be
necessary,
therefore,
to
place
the
welding
power
source
LOAD
VOLTAGE
RANGE
switch
in
either
LOW.
HIGH,
or
WIDE
RANGE
when
using
the
Remote
Control.
NOTE
If
the
gun-mounted
Condition
Selector
switch
(option
al
equipment)
is
employed,
both
contactor
and
weld
ing
condition
control
are
provided.
This
switch
has
essentially
three
positions.
1.
In
the
first
switch
position,
to
which
the
switch
automatically
returns
if
no
switch
lever
pressure
is
applied,
the
welding
power
source
contactor
is
not
energized.
2.
In
the
second
switch
position,
which
is
obtained
by
depressing
the
switch
lever
about
half
way
down,
the
welding
power
source
contactor
is
energized
and
the
Remote
Control
is
placed
in
the
CONDI
TION
A
position.
3.
In
the
third
switch
position,
which
is
obtained
by
depressing
the
switch
lever
all
the
way
down,
the
welding
power
source
contactor
is
retained
in
an
energized
state
and
the
Remote
Control
is
placed
in
the
CONDITION
B
position.
Switching
the
Remote
Control
from
CONDITION
A
to
CONDITION
B
(or
from
CONDITION
B
to
CONDITION
A)
can
be
accomplished
by
varying
the
amount
of
pressure
applied
to
the
switch
lever.
4-2.
SHUTTING
DOWN
1.
Break
the
arc.
2.
Allow
the
welding
power
source
to
idle
for
3
minutes
with
no
load
applied.
3.
Place
the
welding
power
source
Power
switch
in
the
OFF
position.
Since
the
Remote
Control
derives
its
operating
power
from
the
welding
power
source,
the
Remote
Control
will
also
be
de-energized
when
the
welding
power
source
is
de-energized.
4.
Place
the
control/feeder
Power
Switch
in
the
OFF
position
if
the
control/feeder
is
provided
with
operating
power
external
to
the
welding
power
source.
5.
Turn
off
the
shielding
gas,
if
used,
at
the
shielding
gas
source.
CAUTION
I
U
If
welding
is
performed
in
a
confined
area,
failure
to
turn
off
the
shielding
gas
supply
could
result
in
a
build
up
of
gas
fumes,
thereby
endangering
personnel
reentering
the
welding
area.

7.
Rotate
the

I
Prior
to
welding,
it is
imperative
that
proper
protective
clothing
(welding
coat
and
gloves)
and
eye
protection
(glasses
and/or
welding
helmet)
be
put
on.
Failure
to
comply
may
result
in
serious
and/or
permanent
bodily
damage.
U

8.
Turn
on
the
shielding
gas
supply,
if
used.
9.
Energize
the
welding
power
source
and
control/feeder.
Commence
welding.
10.
Welding
Condition
A
or
B
may
be
achieved
by
placing
the

B,
respectively.
NOTE
