WARNING

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDSmay 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, andwelders having a pacemaker should consult their physicianbefore welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other healtheffects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order tominimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Securethem 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 andwork 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 workpiece as close aspossible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove theradiator pressure cap when the engine ishot.

ARC RAYS can burn.4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover

plates to protect your eyes from sparks andthe rays of the arc when welding or observingopen arc welding. Headshield and filter lensshould conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistantmaterial to protect your skin and that of your helpers fromthe arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammablescreening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor exposethemselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

ELECTRIC SHOCK cankill.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 bareskin 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 fullarea of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if weldingmust be performed under electrically hazardousconditions (in damp locations or while wearing wetclothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings orscaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable oraccidental contact with the workpiece or ground) usethe following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomaticwelding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connectionshould be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical(earth) ground.

3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable andwelding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replacedamaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders because voltagebetween the two can be the total of the open circuit voltageof both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protectyourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

iiSAFETYii

FUMES AND GASEScan be dangerous.5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes and gases. When welding, keepyour head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. Whenwelding with electrodes which require specialventilation such as stainless or hard facing (seeinstructions on container or MSDS) or on lead orcadmium plated steel and other metals or coatingswhich produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure aslow as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanicalventilation. In confined spaces or in some circum-stances, outdoors, a respirator may be required.Additional precautions are also required when weldingon galvanized steel.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affectedby various factors including proper use and positioning ofthe equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the spe-cific welding procedure and application involved. Workerexposure level should be checked upon installation andperiodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicableOSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.

5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors toform phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-ucts.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air andcause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturerʼs instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including thematerial safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow youremployerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available fromyour welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. NationalElectrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturerʼsrecommendations.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. NationalElectrical Code and the manufacturerʼs recommendations.

CYLINDER may explodeif damaged.7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders

containing the correct shielding gas for theprocess used and properly operatingregulators designed for the gas and

pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable forthe application and maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securelychained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected tophysical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations andany other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any otherelectrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outletwhen opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and handtight except when the cylinder is in use or connected foruse.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gascylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases inCylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

WELDING and CUTTINGSPARKS cancause fire or explosion.6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to preventthe welding sparks from starting a fire.

Remember that welding sparks and hotmaterials from welding can easily go through small cracksand openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding nearhydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,special precautions should be used to prevent hazardoussituations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSIStandard Z49.1) and the operating information for theequipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrodecircuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contactcan cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until theproper steps have been taken to insure that such procedureswill not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substancesinside. They can cause an explosion even though they havebeen “cleaned”. For information, purchase “RecommendedSafe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting ofContainers and Piping That Have Held HazardousSubstances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting orwelding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oilfree protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wearear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in awelding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the weldingarea as practical. Work cables connected to the buildingframework or other locations away from the welding areaincrease the possibility of the welding current passingthrough lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chainsor cables until they fail.

6.h. Also see item 1.c.

6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “ Standard for Fire PreventionDuring Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, availablefrom NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma022690-9101.

6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉPour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructionset les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans cemanuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-antes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A LʼArc1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode et à la piéce sont sous tensionquand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujourstout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nueou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sanstrous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien sʼisoler de la masse quand onsoude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un planchermetallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grandepartie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câblede soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr étatdefonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans lʼeau pour lerefroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tensiondes porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souderparce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être letotal de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source decourant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautionspour le porte-électrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet desoudage.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protégercontre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamaisenrouler le câble-électrode autour de nʼimporte quelle partiedu corps.

3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel,donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant appropriéainsi quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-onnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ouquand on regarde lʼarc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger lapeau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement delʻarc.

c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité ausoudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc desoudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libresde lʼhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone desoudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans leszones où lʼon pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin deprévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé dela masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer unéchauffement et un risque dʼincendie.

8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possiblede la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on placela masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautresendroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risquede voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquerdes risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et descâbles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôlesgalvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal quiproduit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenantdʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. Lachaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent réagir avec les vapeursdu solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSAStandard W 117.2-1974.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POURLES MACHINES À SOUDER ÀTRANSFORMATEUR ET ÀREDRESSEUR

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code delʼélectricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositifde montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à unebonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seronteffectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debranch-er à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leurplace.

PRE-OPERATION INSTALLATION

EXHAUST SPARK ARRESTERSome federal, state or local laws may require thatengines be equipped with exhaust spark arresterswhen they are operated in certain locations whereunarrested sparks may present a fire hazard. Thestandard muffler included with this welder does notqualify as a spark arrester. When required by localregulations, a suitable spark arrester must be installedand properly maintained.

Use of an incorrect arrester may lead to engine damageor performance loss. Contact the engine manufacturerfor specific recommendations.------------------------------------------------------------------------LOCATION / VENTILATION

Always operate the welder with the doors closed.Leaving the doors open changes the designed air flowand may cause overheating.

The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict-ed flow of clean, cool air. Also, locate the welder sothat engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to anoutside area.

MACHINE GROUNDINGAccording to the United States National ElectricalCode, the frame of this portable generator is notrequired to be grounded and is permitted to serve asthe grounding means for cord connected equipmentplugged into its receptacle.

Some state, local, or other codes or unusual operatingcircumstances may require the machine frame to begrounded. It is recommended that you determine theextent to which such requirements may apply to yourparticular situation and follow them explicitly. Amachine grounding stud marked with the symbol isprovided on the welding generator frame foot. In gen-eral, if the machine is to be grounded, it should beconnected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solidearth ground such as a metal water pipe going intothe ground for at least ten feet and having no insulat-ed joints, or to the metal framework of a buildingwhich has been effectively grounded. The U.S.National Code lists a number of alternate means ofgrounding electrical equipment.

LIFT BAILA lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.

TRAILER (SEE OPTIONAL FEATURES) If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assumeresponsibility that the method of attachment and usagedoes not result in a safety hazard nor damage the weld-ing equipment. Some of the factors to be considered areas follows:1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln equip-

ENGINE OPERATION

Operate the welder with the doors closed. Leavingthe doors open changes the designed air flow and cancause overheating.

STARTING THE SAE-300® 404D-22 DIESELENGINE

1. Turn the “IDLER” switch to “HIGH”.2. Turn the “IGNITION” switch to “ON”.3. Press the Glow Plug button for 20 to 30 seconds.

(maximum 60 seconds).4. Press the Start button. When the engine starts

running, release both buttons. If the engine fails tostart in 20 seconds, wait 30 seconds and repeatthe above procedure.

5. Observe the oil pressure. If no pressure showswithin 30 seconds, stop the engine and consultthe engine operating manual. To stop the engine,turn the “IGNITION” switch to “OFF”.

6. If the engine protection warning light comes onduring cranking or after start up, the “IGNITION”switch must be turned “OFF” to reset the engineprotection system.

------------------------------------------------------------------------See additional warning information at thefront of this operatorʼs manual.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING

7. Allow the engine to run at high idle speed for sev-eral minutes to warm the engine. Stop the engineand recheck the oil level, after allowing sufficienttime for the oil to drain into the pan. If the level isdown, fill it to the full mark again. The engine con-trols were properly set at the factory and shouldrequire no adjusting when received.

COLD WEATHER STARTING:

With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil,the engine should start satisfactorily even down toabout -15°F (-26°C), it maybe desirable to install cold-starting aides.

Note: Extreme cold weather starting may requirelonger glow plug operation.

Under NO conditions should ether or otherstarting fluids be used!------------------------------------------------------------------------HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION:

The engine will run correctly up to an altitude of 600m(2000ft.). If the engine is to be operated permanentlyat an altitude above this, the fuel consumption andexhaust emissions may be excessive.

Contact the Perkins Application Department for anyengine adjustments that may be required.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Turn the “IGNITION” switch to “OFF”

At the end of each dayʼs welding, check the crankcaseoil level, drain accumulated dirt and water from thewater separator located on the fuel rail. Refill the fueltank to minimize moisture condensation in the tank.Also, running out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuelsystem.

When hauling the welder between job sites, close thefuel feed valve on the separator located on the fuelrail.

If the fuel supply is cut off or runs out while the fuelpump is operating, air may be entrapped in the fueldistribution system. If this happens, bleeding of thefuel system may be necessary. Use qualified person-nel to do this per the instructions in the MAINTE-NANCE section of this manual.

ENGINE BREAK-IN

Lincoln Electric selects high quality, heavy-duty industrialengines for the portable welding machines we offer.While it is normal to see a small amount of crankcase oilconsumption during initial operation, excessive oil use,wet stacking (oil or tar like substance at the exhaustport), or excessive smoke is not normal.

Larger machines with a capacity of 350 amperes andhigher, which are operated at low or no-load conditionsfor extended periods of time are especially susceptible tothe conditions described above. To accomplish success-ful engine break-in, most diesel-powered equipmentneeds only to be run at a reasonably heavy load withinthe rating of the welder for some period of time duringthe engineʼs early life. However, if the welder is subject-ed to extensive light loading, occasional moderate toheavy loading of the engine may sometimes be neces-sary. Caution must be observed in correctly loading adiesel/generator unit.

1. Connect the welder output studs to a suitable resis-tive load bank. Note that any attempt to short theoutput studs by connecting the welding leads togeth-er, direct shorting of the output studs, or connectingthe output leads to a length of steel will result in cat-astrophic damage to the generator and voids thewarranty.

2. Set the welder controls for an output current andvoltage within the welder rating and duty cycle. Notethat any attempt to exceed the welder rating or dutycycle for any period of time will result in catastrophicdamage to the generator and voids the warranty.

3. Periodically shut off the engine and check thecrankcase oil level.

WELDER OPERATION

DUTY CYCLE

The NEMA output rating of the SAE-300® is 300 amperes at32 arc volts on a 60% duty cycle (consult Specifications inthis manual for alternate ratings). Duty cycle is based on aten minute period; thus, the welder can be loaded at ratedoutput for six minutes out of every ten minute period.

CURRENT CONTROL

Do not adjust the “Current Control” while weldingbecause this can damage the control.------------------------------------------------------------------------The “Coarse Current Control” is the main Current Adjuster.The “Fine Current Control” adjusts the current from mini-mum to maximum. Open circuit voltage is also controlled bythe “Fine Current Control” permitting control of the arc char-acteristics.

A high open circuit voltage setting provides the soft “butter-ing” arc with best resistance to pop-outs preferred for mostwelding. To get this characteristic, set the “Coarse CurrentControl” to the lowest setting that still provides the currentyou need and set the “Fine Current Control” near maximum.

When a forceful “digging” arc is required, usually for verticaland overhead welding, use a higher “Coarse CurrentControl” setting and lower open circuit voltage.

Some arc instability may be experienced with EXX10 elec-trodes when trying to operate with long arc techniques atsettings at the lower end of the open circuit voltage range.

STICK / TIG WELDINGStart by setting the right-side Fine Current and OCV controldial to 60, then set the left-side Coarse Current control dialto the desired current using the dial markings as an approxi-mate guideline. Arc characteristics and small changes inoutput can then be adjusted using the Fine Current andOCV control dial. A K924-4 Remote Control unit can also beused as the Fine Control and OCV control dial.

SELF-SHIELDED FLUX-CORED WELDING (WITH A K623-1 WIRE FEED MODULE INSTALLED)Start by setting the Wire (CV) / Stick (CC) toggle switch tothe Wire (CV) position. Then set the left-side CoarseCurrent control dial to 270. Now move the VoltageAdjustment dial to the desired voltage. Move the CoarseCurrent control to the left for a softer arc and to the right fora crisper arc.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Blow out the welder and controls with an air hose atleast once every two months. In particularly dirtylocations, this cleaning may be necessary once aweek. Use low pressure air to avoid driving dirt intothe insulation.

2. Follow the engine service schedule in this manualand the detailed maintenance and troubleshootingin the engine manufacturerʼs manual.

COOLING SYSTEM

The SAE-300® is equipped with a pressure radiator.Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent loss of coolant.Clean and flush the cooling system periodically to pre-vent clogging the passage and overheating theengine. When antifreeze is needed, always use thepermanent type.

BEARINGS

This welder is equipped with a double syntheticsealed ball bearing having sufficient grease to lastindefinitely under normal service.

COMMUTATOR AND BRUSHES

Uncovered rotating equipment can be dangerous.Use care so your hands, hair, clothing or tools donot catch in the rotating parts. Protect yourselffrom particles that may be thrown out by the rotat-ing armature when stoning the commutator.------------------------------------------------------------------------Shifting of the commutator brushes may result in:

- Change in machine output- Commutator damage- Excessive brush wear

Periodically inspect the commutator, slip rings, andbrushes by removing the covers. DO NOT remove orreplace these covers while the machine is running.Commutators and slip rings require little attention.However, if they are black or appear uneven, havethem cleaned by an experienced maintenance man using fine sandpaper or a commutator stone. Neveruse emery cloth or paper for this purpose.

SAE-300®

Have qualified personnel do the maintenancework. Turn the engine off before working insidethe machine. In some cases, it may be neces-sary to remove safety guards to performrequired maintenance. Remove guards onlywhen necessary and replace them when themaintenance requiring their removal is com-plete. Always use the greatest care when work-ing near moving parts.

Do not put your hands near the engine coolingblower fan. If a problem cannot be corrected byfollowing the instructions, take the machine tothe nearest Lincoln Field Service Shop.

D-2MAINTENANCED-2

Replace brushes when they wear within 1/4” of thepigtail. A complete set of replacement brushes shouldbe kept on hand. Lincoln brushes have a curved faceto fit the commutator. Have an experienced mainte-nance man seat these brushes by lightly stoning thecommutator as the armature rotates at full speed untilcontact is made across the full face of the brushes.After stoning, blow out the dust with low pressure air.

To seat slip ring brushes, position the brushes inplace. Then slide one end of a piece of fine sandpaperbetween slip rings and brushes with the coarse sideagainst the brushes. With slight additional finger pres-sure on top of the brushes, pull the sandpaper aroundthe circumference of the rings - in direction of rotationonly - until brushes seat properly. In addition, stoneslip ring with a fine stone. Brushes must be seated100%.

Arcing or excessive exciter brush wear indicates apossible misaligned shaft. Have an authorized FieldService Shop check and realign the shaft.

IDLER MAINTENANCE

Before doing electrical work on the idler printedcircuit board, disconnect the battery.------------------------------------------------------------------------When installing a new battery or using a jumper bat-tery to start the engine, be sure the battery polarity isconnected properly. The correct polarity is negativeground. Damage to the engine alternator and theprinted circuit board can result from incorrect connec-tion.

1. Proper operation of the idler requires good ground-ing of the printed circuit board, reed switch, andbattery.

2. Idler solenoid is activated for low idle.

3. If desired, the welder can be used without automat-ic idling by setting the “Idler” switch to the “High”position.

NAMEPLATES

Whenever routine maintenance is performed on thismachine - or at least yearly - inspect all nameplatesand labels for legibility. Replace those which are nolonger clear. Refer to the parts list for the replace-ment item number.

PURGING AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM(PERKINS 404D-22 ENGINE)

Keep fuel clear of open flames or arcs, allowengine to cool before working on the fuel system.Wipe up any spilled fuel and do not start engineuntil fumes clear.------------------------------------------------------------------------If the engine is running rough and you suspect air hasbeen trapped in the fuel system, (e.g. the engine wasallowed to run out of fuel) perform the following stepsusing qualified personnel:

1. Loosen by two or three turns, the vent screw(Figure D.1) on the fuel inlet connection.

FIGURE D.1

2. Operate the electric fuel pump by turning the“Ignition” switch “ON” until fuel, free of air, flowsfrom the vent point. Tighten the vent screw.
