. . and thoughtful operation on your part. DO NOT INSTALL, OPERATE OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT READING THIS MANUAL AND THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED THROUGHOUT. Most importantly, think before you act and be careful. OPERATOR’S MANUAL Copyright© 2004 Lincoln Global Inc. • World’s Leader in Welding and Cutting Products • • Sales and Service through Subsidiaries and Distributors Worldwide • Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199 USA Tel: 216.481.8100 Fax: 216.486.1751 Web Site: i SAFETY i WARNING CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS For Diesel Engines: diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. For Gasoline Engines: The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. ARC WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING. Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommended that you purchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, PO Box 351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974 or WTIA (Welding Technology Institute of Australia), PO Box 6165, Silverwater, NSW, 2128. A free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electrical Company, 22801 St Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS. FOR ENGINE powered equipment. 1.a Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running. 1.b. Operate engines in open, well ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors. 1.c. Do not add fuel near an open flame, welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refuelling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated. 1.d.Keep all equipment, safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment. 1.e.In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts. 1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running. 1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot. ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous 2.a.Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines. 2.b.EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding. 2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known. 2.d.All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit: 2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure them with tape when possible. 2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body. 2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side. 2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workplace as close as possible to the area being welded. 2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source. 1.g.To prevent accidentally starting petrol engines while turning Mar ‘95 the engine or welding generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire as appropriate. ii SAFETY ii ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands. 3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground. In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions s...
