WARNING: These Safety Precautions are for
your protection. They summarize precaution-
ary information from the references listed in
Additional Safety Information section. Before
performing 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
processes are noisy and require ear
protection. The arc, like the sun, emits
ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and
can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns.
Training in the proper use of the processes and equip-
ment 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 weld-
ing 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.
Bystanders 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 ex-
plosions. 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 pro-
duce 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.
10/98
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 move-
ment 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 flow-
ing through any conductor causes lo-
calized Electric and Magnetic Fields
(EMF). Welding and cutting current cre-
ates 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.
SECTION 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 opera-
tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinated
hydrocarbon 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 im-
prove 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.
5. WARNING: This product, when used for welding or
cutting, produces fumes or gases which
contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause birth defects and, in
some cases, cancer. (California Health &
Safety Code
§25249.5 et seq.)
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 regu-
lator to a compressed 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 con-
nected. 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
improperly maintained equipment can
cause injury or death. Therefore:
1. Always have qualified personnel perform the installa-
tion, 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
equipment 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.

SECTION 4
INSTALLATION
11
4.1 Installation
A. Connect the 19 pin control cable to the Power
Source.
B. Hose and Electrical Connections. Connect
shielding gas supply hose. Connect secondary
power cable to power block and power supply.
C. Attach a Mig Gun with "EURO" style connector
to the mating receptacles on the feeder front
panel.
D. Wire Spool.
As with any work area, make sure safety glasses
with side shields are worn when handling or
changing wire or clipping wire off at the spool or
at the end of the torch. Hold onto the wire coming
off the spool with one hand before clipping.
Serious eye injury can result due to the resilience
of the wire which can quickly unravel, or a cut
wire end which may shoot across the room.
Install a spool of welding wire on the hub as follows:
1. Remove "hairpin" clip from spindle.
2. Position the spool of wire so that when it is
placed on the spindle, wire will be drawn to
the feed roll from the bottom of the spool.
The spool should be held so that the index
hole on the back will engage the lug on the
spindle.
3. Slide the spool onto the spindle until it
engages the lug. Lock in place with the
hairpin clip.
4. When wire coils are to be used instead of
spools, reposition the spindle to the highest
position and mount wire reel on spindle as
though it were a spool (see 1 and 3 above).
Remove thumbnuts and cover plate from
reel. Remove coil from its package, but do
not remove its binding wires. Slide coil onto
reel so that wire will be drawn from bottom
of coil (starting end for a coil is always the
outer end). Replace reel cover plate and
thumbnuts. Cut off coil tie wires and any
kinked wire.
E. Drive Rolls. The drive roll has two grooves; the
smaller groove feeds 0.035 in. diameter wire,
the larger groove feeds 0.045 in. wire. The
groove nearer the gear motor feeds the wire. If
the required groove is not correctly positioned,
perform the following:
1. Release the pressure drive roll levers and
lift the assemblies upward.
2. Remove shoulder screw holding each drive
roll to the gear.
3. Reverse the drive roll on the drive roll shaft.
4. Replace the shoulder screws and tighten.
5. Secure the pressure drive roll assembly.
E. Threading Wire.
1. Release pressure drive roll assembly and
lift upward. Check that proper wire diam-
eter groove is in the inner position.
Before threading welding wire through liner, make
sure chisel point and burrs have been removed
from wire end to prevent wire from jamming in
gun or liner.
2. Feed the wire from the spool through the
inlet guide, across the drive roll groove and
into gun outlet guide.
Make sure that the proper "outlet guide
tube" is inserted into the front-panel gun
fitting for the size and type of wire being
used.
3. Lower pressure roll assembly and secure.
Apply power to the feeder. Momentarily
depress and release the torch trigger for
the desired "Active" side (Left/Right).
4. Feed wire through to gun tip using the JOG
switch located on the front panel.
5. To ensure proper wire feeding, it is impor-
tant that the wire be kept clean and that the
drive rolls be periodically cleaned of any
chips or scale that might be carried into the
gun liner and cause clogging.
F. Brake Drag Adjustment. Loosen the brake
screw in the center of the spindle hub, then
tighten it just enough to prevent coasting of the
spool when wire is drawn from it. Too much
pressure will load the wire feed motor unneces-
sarily. Too little pressure will permit the spool to
overrun, causing the wire to kink and tangle.
SECTION 5
OPERATION
12
5.1 Adjustments and Operation
A. Selecting the "Active" side (Left/Right).
1. Apply power to wire feeder by turning on
the power source and the power switch on
the 4HD front panel.
2. When power is applied to the feeder the
default "Active" side is the right side (as
viewed from the front of the feeder). This
should be indicated by the right "Active"
pilot light being illuminated. If the desired
active side is the Left, momentarily depress
and released the Left gun trigger. The Right
"Active" light will extinguish and the Left
"Active" light will be illuminated. The Left
side will remain the "Active" side until the
Right gun trigger is depressed. When ei-
ther gun trigger is depressed that side
automatically becomes the "Active" side
and the gun trigger for the opposite side is
disabled until the "Activated" gun trigger is
released.
B. Control Setting.
1. Set the wire feed rate and voltage by ad-
justing the WIRE FEED SPEED and VOLTS
control knobs on the front panel.
2. Optional BURNBACK control: sets to the
desired setting (0-0.6 seconds), depend-
ing on the amount of burnback desired.
The higher the setting, the greater the
amount of time that the contactor is held in
to allow the wire to burn back out of the
puddle, after releasing the torch switch.
If spot welding is to be performed, set rear-
panel switch to "SPOT" position, set spot-
welding potentiometer for time period
(range: 0 to 5 seconds).
C. Feeding Wire. Thread wire through torch and
contact tip as directed in Section 4, cut off wire,
so that the wire extends about 1/2-inch beyond
the end of the torch nozzle.
D. Shielding Gas Flow Rate. Operate PURGE
switch and set desired gas flow rate at the
shielding gas regulator-flowmeter. Activate
switch for at least 15 seconds to insure ad-
equate purging of gas hose and torch.
Optional Spot/Burnback/Pre-Postlfow/Trigger
Lock Module: set pre and postflow potentiom-
eters for the desired preflow interval (range: 0 -
1.5 seconds) and postflow interval (range: 0 to
7.5 seconds).
E. Making the Weld. Start to weld by pressing the
gun switch lever to actuate the torch switch.
This closes the welding contactor, and starts
wire feed and gas flow. The trigger must be
depressed for the duration of the weld. Welding
action will be stopped and all services discontin-
ued when the lever is released and returned to
its original position. If the gun is withdrawn from
the workpiece during welding, the arc will be
interrupted, but shielding gas flow and welding
wire feed will continue until the trigger lever is
released.
Do not allow metal-to-metal contact between the
wire feeder chassis and a metal surface con-
nected in any way to a welding ground.
5.2 Operating Sequence.
A. Normal.
1. Close Gun switch.
-- Gas solenoid opens, weld contactor
closes, wire feed motor runs.
2. Release Gun switch.
-- Wire feed motor deenergized, brake
circuit effective.
-- Burnback circuit energized.
3. Burnback circuit times out (delay deter-
mined by setting of Burnback potentio-
meter).
-- Weld contactor opens.
-- Gas solenoid valve closes.
B. Spot Weld.
1. Close Gun switch.
-- Gas solenoid, weld contactor, wire feed
motor energized.
-- Spotweld timing circuit energized.

2. Spotweld circuit times out (interval estab-
lished by setting of spotweld potentiom-
eter).
-- Wire feed motor deenergized, brake
circuit effective.
-- Burnback circuit energized.
3. Burnback circuit times out (interval estab-
lished by setting of burnback potentiom-
eter).
-- Weld contactor opens.
4. Release torch switch.
-- Gas solenoid valve closes.
C. Pre-flow/Post-Flow Options. Contactor and wire
feed motor are energized only after interval
established by setting of preflow potentiometer.
When torch switch is opened, gas solenoid
valve remains energized until interval estab-
lished by setting of postflow potentiometer has
elapsed.
SECTION 6
SERVICE
If it should become necessary to replace the 5
amp wire feeder circuit breaker or any other
circuit breaker/fuse in the welding machine, en-
sure that the proper size is used as a replace-
ment.
The 42-volt circuit is protected by a 5 amp circuit
breaker located at the rear of the wire feeder.
Failure of this circuit breaker will shut off the
contactor, shielding gas, and wire feeder. The
circuit breaker must cool before it can be reset.
If the breaker trips, wait before resetting.
B. Wire Feeder. As soft wire is fed, the drive rolls
may pick up metal from the wire surface. Accu-
mulation on the rolls may score the wire with
resulting unwanted friction and improper feed-
ing.
Inspect the rolls regularly and clean them with a
fine-wire power brush. Avoid roughening, or
removing the hardness of groove surfaces in
grooved rolls. Any roughening may score the
wire, just as the accumulation being removed
may do.
6.1 Maintenance.
If this equipment does not operate properly, stop
work immediately and investigate the cause of
the malfunction. Maintenance work must be per-
formed by an experienced person, and electrical
work by a trained electrician. Do not permit un-
trained persons to inspect, clean, or repair this
equipment. Use only recommended replacement
parts.
Little maintenance is required to keep the wire feeder
in top operating condition. It is important, however,
that moving parts such as feed and pressure rolls,
wire feed motor, etc., be kept clean and free of dust
or dirt. Cleaning is best accomplished by regularly
blowing off these parts with dry compressed air. This
should be done once for every eight hours of operat-
ing time, more often if necessary.
