PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND UNDERSTANDBOTH THE SPECIFIC INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE OPERATING MANUAL FOR THE WELDER AND/OR OTHEREQUIPMENT TO BE USED AS WELL AS THE FOLLOWING GENERAL INFORMATION.

ARC WELDING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits areelectrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touchthese “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing.Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

b. In semi-automatic and automatic wire welding, theelectrode, electrode reel, welding head and nozzle orsemi-automatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”.

c. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dryinsulation. When welding in damp locations, on metalframework such as floors, gratings or scaffolds, andwhen in positions such as sitting or lying, make certainthe insulation is large enough to cover your full area ofphysical contact with work and ground.

d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. Theconnection should be as close as possible to the areabeing welded.

e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a goodelectrical (earth) ground.

f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, weldingcable and welding machine in good, safe operatingcondition. Replace damaged insulation.

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

h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders becausevoltage between the two can be the total of the opencircuit voltage of both welders.

i. When working above floor level, protect yourself froma fall should you get a shock.

j. Also see items 4c and 6.

2. a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous tohealth. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. Whenwelding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes andgases away from the breathing zone. When welding ongalvanised, lead or cadmium plated steel and othermetals which produce toxic fumes, even greater caremust be taken.

b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbonvapours coming from degreasing, cleaning or sprayingoperations. The heat and rays of the arc can react withsolvent vapours to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas,and other irritating products.

c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace airand cause injury or death. Always use enoughventilation, especially in confined areas, to ensurebreathing air is safe.

d. Read and understand the manufacturer’ s instructionsfor this equipment and the consumables to be used,including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) andfollow your employer’s safety practices.

e. Also see Item 7b.

3. a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates toprotect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arcwhen welding or observing open arc welding.Headshield and filter lens should conform to AS1674.2-2003 AS1337-1992 and AS1338-1992standards.

b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flameresistant material to protect your skin and that of yourhelpers from the arc rays.

c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable nonflammable screening and/or warn them not to watchthe arc or expose themselves to the arc rays or to hotspatter or metal.

4. a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this isnot possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparksfrom starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks andhot materials from welding can easily go through smallcracks and openings to adjacent areas. Have a fireextinguisher readily available.

b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the jobsite, special precautions should be used to preventhazardous situations. Refer to AS1674 Parts 1 & 2“Safety in Welding and Allied Processes”, WTIATechnical Note 7 “Health and Safety in Welding” andthe operating information for the equipment beingused.

c. When not welding, make certain no part of theelectrode circuit is touching the work or ground.Accidental contact can cause overheating and create afire hazard.

d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containersuntil the proper steps have been taken to insure thatsuch procedures will not cause flammable or toxicvapours from substances inside. These can cause anexplosion even though the vessel has been “cleaned”.For information purchase AS 1674-1990.

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

f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc.Wear oil free protective garments such as leathergloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes anda cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding outof position or in confined places. Always wear safetyglasses with side shields when in a welding area.

g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to thewelding area as possible. Work cables connected tothe building framework or other locations away fromthe welding area increase the possibility of the weldingcurrent passing through lifting chains, crane cables orother alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards oroverheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.

h. Also see Item 7c.

5. a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing thecorrect shielding gas for the process used andproperly operating regulators, designed for the gasand pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should besuitable for the application and maintained in goodcondition.

b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position andsecurely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

c. Cylinders should be located :

• Away from areas where they may be struck orsubjected to physical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cuttingoperations and any other source of heat, sparks orflame.

d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder, or anyother electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valveoutlet when opening the cylinder valve.

f. Valve protection caps should always be in place andhand-tight except when the cylinder is in use orconnected for use.

g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gascylinders and associated equipment, and AS 2030Parts 1 & 2.

6. a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at thefuse box before working on the equipment.

b. Install equipment in accordance with the SAA WiringRules, all local codes and the manufacturer’s recom-mendations.

c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the SAAWiring Rules and the manufacturer’s recommenda-tions.

7. a. Turn the engine off before troubleshootingand maintenance work unless themaintenance work requires it to be running.

b. Operate engines in open, well ventilatedareas or vent the engine exhaust fumesoutdoors.

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 beforerefuelling to prevent spilled fuel fromvaporizing on contact with hot engine partsand igniting. Do not spill fuel when fillingtank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do notstart engine until fumes have beeneliminated.

d. Keep all equipment, safety guards, coversand devices in position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools awayfrom V-belts, gears, fans and all othermoving parts when starting, operating orrepairing equipment.

e. In some cases it may be necessary toremove safety guards to perform requiredmaintenance. Remove guards only whennecessary and replace them when themaintenance requiring their removal iscomplete. Always use the greatest carewhen working near moving parts.

f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan.Do not attempt to override the governor oridler by pushing on the throttle control rodswhile the engine is running.

g. To prevent accidentally starting petrolengines while turning the engine or weldinggenerator during maintenance work,disconnect the spark plug wires, distributorcap or magneto wire as appropriate.

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

WELDING, EMF & PACEMAKERSAll welders should follow safe practices that minimise theirexposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMF).

For welders wearing implanted pacemakers, safe weldingpractices are particularly important and additional proceduresshould be followed by those who have decided to continue toweld. (Hopefully in keeping with a doctor’s advice).

The following procedures will not eliminate exposure to EMF orthe possibility of arc welding having an effect on a pacemaker,however if followed, they will significantly reduce exposure toelectric and magnetic fields. Electric and magnetic fields arecreated any time electric current flows through a conductor,however it is not clear whether such exposure affects oneshealth.

Some researchers have reported that exposure to EMF maycause leukemia or other illnesses. These claims originally arosein relation to high voltage electric power lines and are very muchin dispute in the medical and scientific arena, however the bestadvice is to minimise your exposure to EMF to protect your healthshould doctors eventually decide there is a risk.

There are four fundamental facts about EMF:

• With direct current (DC), the field strength is relativelyconstant and does not change.

• With alternating current (AC), the field strength constantlychanges.

• The greater the current flow, i.e. the higher the amps, thestronger the field created by the current

• The closer the conductor or electrical device is to the body,the greater the exposure to the field.

Minimising exposure

All welders should use the following procedures to minimise EMFexposure.

• Route electrode or gun and work cables together. Securethem with tape if possible.

• Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

• Do not place your body between the electrode and workcables. If your electrode cable is on your right side the workcable should also be on your right side.

• Connect the work cable to the work piece as close aspossible to the area being welded. (This is also a goodpractice to eliminate a common problem on welding - a poorwork connection.

• Do not work next to the welding power source.

Welders with Pacemakers

There is no question that the fields in arc welding can interferewith a pacemakers function. Generally the interference does notpermanently damage the pacemaker. Once the wearer leaves thearc welding environment or stops welding, the pacemaker returnsto normal functioning.The welding arc has little or no effect on theoperation of some pacemakers, especially designs that are bi-polar or designed to filter out such interference.

For a welder or anyone working around electrical equipment theselection of a pacemaker is very important. Get a doctor’s adviceabout which pacemaker is the least sensitive to interference fromwelding while still being medically suitable.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, the followingadditional procedures should be adopted by welders withpacemakers.

• Use gas welding when the application is suitable.

• Use the lowest current setting appropriate for theapplication. Do not exceed 400 amps. Low current(75-200 amps) direct current (DC) welding should be used ifarc welding is necessary. Do not TIG weld with highfrequency.

• Do not use repeated, short welds. Wait about ten secondsbetween stopping one weld and starting the next. Whenhaving difficulty starting an electrode, do not re-strike the rodrepeatedly.

• If you feel light headed, dizzy or faint, immediately stopwelding. Lay the electrode holder down so that it does notcontact the work and move away from any welding beingperformed. Arrange your work in advance so that, if youbecome dizzy and drop the electrode holder, the electrodeholder will not fall on your body or strike the work.

• Do not work on a ladder or other elevated position or in acramped, confined place.

• Do not work alone. Work only in the presence of anindividual who understands these precautions and thepossible effect welding may have on your pacemaker.

• Do not work near spot welding equipment.

• If you have a pacemaker and wish to continue arc welding,discuss this and any other questions you may have with yourphysician and follow his or her advice. The doctor may wishto contact the pacemaker manufacturer for arecommendation. As mentioned before, the design of thepacemaker significantly affects the degree to which it issubject to interference from a welding circuit. Do not rely onthe fact that you know another welder with a pacemaker whohas welded for years without experiencing a problem. Thatwelder and his or her pacemaker may be quite different fromyou and your pacemaker.


ConformanceProducts displaying the C-Tick mark are in conformity withAustralian/New Zealand requirements for ElectromagneticCompatibility (EMC). They are:

• manufactured in conformity with Australian/New ZealandStandard (Emission):- AS/NZS 3652 ‘ElectromagneticCompatibility - Arc Welding Equipment’ (Identical to andreproduced from British Standard EN 50199)

• for using with other Lincoln Electric/LiquidArc equipment.

• designed for industrial and professional use.

IntroductionAll electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromag-netic emission. Electrical emission may be transmitted throughpower lines or radiated through space, similar to a radiotransmitter. When emissions are received by other equipment,electrical interference may result. Electrical emissions may effectmany kinds of electrical equipment: other nearby weldingequipment, radio and TV transmitters and receivers, numericalcontrolled machines, telephone systems, computers, etc. Beaware that interference may result and extra precautions may berequired when a welding power source is used in a domesticestablishment.

Installation and UseThe purchaser/user is responsible for installing and using thewelding equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ifelectromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be theresponsibility of the purchaser/user of the welding equipment toresolve the situation with the technical assistance of themanufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be assimple as earthing (grounding) the welding circuit (see notebelow). In other cases it could involve constructing an electro-magnetic screen enclosing the power source and the workcomplete with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnet-ic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are nolonger troublesome.

NOTE: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safetyreasons according to national codes. Changing the earthingarrangements should only be authorised by a person who iscompetent to assess whether the changes increase the risk ofinjury, eg. by allowing parallel welding current return paths whichmay damage the earth circuits of other equipment.

Assessment of AreaBefore installing welding equipment the purchaser/user shallmake an assessment of potential problems in the surroundingarea.

The following shall be taken into account:

a. Other supply cables, control cables, signalling and telephonecables above, below and adjacent to the welding equipment;

b. Radio and television transmitters and receivers;

c. Computer and other control equipment;

d. Safety critical safety equipment, eg. guarding of industrialequipment;

e. The health of people around, eg. the use of pacemakers andhearing aids;;

f. Equipment used for calibration or measurement;

g. The immunity of other equipment in the environment. Thepurchaser/user shall ensure that other equipment being usedin the environment is compatible. This may require additionalprotection measures;

h. The time of the day that welding or other activities are to becarried out.

The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend onthe structure of the building and other activities that are takingplace. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundariesof the premises.

Methods of Reducing EmissionsMains SupplyWelding equipment should be connected to the mains supplyaccording to the manufacturer’s recommendations.If interferenceoccurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions suchas filtering the mains supply. Consideration should be given toshielding the supply cable of permanently installed weldingequipment in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should beelectrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding shouldbe connected to the welding power source so that good electricalcontact is maintained between the conduit and the welding powersource enclosure.

Maintenance of the Welding EquipmentThe welding equipment should be routinely maintained accordingto the manufacturer’s recommendations. All access and servicedoors and covers should be closed and properly fastened whenthe welding equipment is in operation. The welding equipmentshould not be modified in any way except for those changes andadjustment covered in the manufacturer’s instructions. Inparticular, the spark gaps of arc initiation and stabilising devicesshould be adjusted and maintained according to themanufacturer’s recommendations.

Welding CablesThe welding cables should be kept as short as possible andshould be positioned close together, running at or close to thefloor level.

Equipotential BondingBonding of all metallic components in the welding installation andadjacent to it should be considered. However, metalliccomponents bonded to the work piece will increase the risk thatthe operator could receive a shock by touching these metalliccomponents and the electrode at the same time. The operatorshould be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.

Earthing of the workpieceWhere the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety,nor connected to earth because of its size and position, eg. ship’shull or building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece toearth may reduce emissions in some, but not all instances. Careshould be taken to prevent the earthing of work pieces increasingthe risk of injury to users, or damage to other electricalequipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece toearth should be made by direct connection to the workpiece, butin some countries where direct connection is not permitted, thebonding should be achieved by suitable capacitance, selectedaccording to national regulations.

Screening and ShieldingSelective screening and shielding of other cables and equipmentin the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference.Screening of the entire welding installation may be considered forspecial applications.*

1. Set gas cylinder on rear platform of the machine. Hookchain in place to secure cylinder to rear of welder.

2. Remove the cylinder cap. Inspect the cylinder valve fordamaged threads, dirt and dust. For cylinders having anexternal thread fitting, remove any dust and dirt from thethreads with a clean cloth.

DO NOT ATTACH THE REGULATOR/FLOWMETER IFCYLINDER VALVE IS DAMAGED! Inform your gassupplier of this condition.

3. Stand to one side away from the outlet and open thecylinder valve for an instant. This blows away any dust or

dirt which may have accumulated in the valve outlet.

4. Inspect the regulator/flowmeter for damaged threads andseals, dirt and dust. Remove dust and dirt with a cleancloth.

DO NOT USE THE REGULATOR/FLOWMETER IFDAMAGE IS PRESENT! Have an authorised repair stationrepair any damage.

5. Attach the regulator/flowmeter to the cylinder valve andtighten the union nut(s) securely with a spanner.

6. Attach the inlet gas hose to the outlet fitting of theregulator/flowmeter, and tighten the union nut securelywith a spanner.

7. Before opening the cylinder valve, turn the regulatoradjusting knob counter-clockwise until the adjusting springpressure is released.

8. Open the cylinder valve slowly a fraction of a turn. Whenthe cylinder pressure gauge pointer stops moving, openthe valve fully.

9. The regulator/flowmeter is adjustable. Set it for the flowrate recommended for the procedure and process beingused before starting to weld.

1.4 Gun and CableThe Ergonomic MIG gun and cable provided with themachine has a factory fitted 0.6-1.0mm liner and a 0.9mmcontact tip.

1. Lay the cable out straight.

2. Make sure all pins on the gun cable connector arealigned with the proper mating sockets on the frontpanel gun connector and then join the connectors andtighten the hand nut on the gun cable connector.

Note: If a gun and cable other than the supplied gun is tobe used, it must conform to standard European-styleconnector specifications. See diagram under.

The gun trigger switch must be capable of switching 10milliamps at 60 volts DC—resistive.

1.5 Output Polarity ConnectionThe integrated machines are shipped from the factoryconnected electrode (+)ve. This is the normal polarity forGMA welding. The gun polarity can be changed by placingthe flexible lead protruding from the front of the machine tothe required output stud, eg. for electrode (-)ve, connectthe lead to the (-)ve output stud.

Connect the work lead to the other output stud.

2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Duty CycleRefer to Product Description.

Based on 10 min. time period (i.e., for 25% duty cycle, it is2.5 minutes actual welding and 7.5 minutes with nowelding output, but with the input power remaining onkeeping the cooling fan operative.)

2.2 Control PanelPower Switch

In the “0” positions the input mains power is switched off.

Pilot Light

This light illuminates when the input mains power isswitched on. It flashes in standby and is constantlyilluminated when the electrode is electrically HOT.

Volts Control

The rotary switch provides the user with a selection ofeight voltage settings.

The approximate weld voltages for the switch positionsare:

Wire Feed Speed Control

Use this control to adjust the speed at which the electrodewire feeds when welding. This is in effect a current controlas the power source will deliver the current necessary tomelt the wire. The higher the speed, the more current willbe required. Wire feed speed range is approximately 1 to20 meters/min (40 to 790 inches/min.)

Operation of the gun trigger switches the wire feed motoron and off. The wire feed motor is dynamically braked tominimise wire overrun after welding has ceased.

Welding voltage is available immediately when the guntrigger is operated, but when welding is stopped there is afactory set delay after wire feed has stopped to allow theelectrode to burn back slightly and prevent sticking in thecrater. The burnback ceases to occur when the arc voltageis significantly HIGHER than the weld voltage ensuring thecorrect wire stickout and prevents excessive burnback tothe contact tip.

Over temperature light

Indicates that the thermostats have operated to protectunit from over temperature.

WARNING

3. Setting Up for WeldingThe following items are required:

1) A reel of wire of suitable size and type .

2) A suitable gun and cable assembly with a “Euro”connector and the correct tip and, if necessary gasnozzle for the consumable being used.

3) Correct drive rolls for the wire size and type to be used.The wire feeder is supplied with a 0.6/0.8mm hard wirefeed roll as standard; drive rolls for other types andsizes are available as spare parts. (see table on page10).

4) A work return cable and clamp.(supplied)

5) Normal welding accessories including helmet or handshield with suitable lens, gloves etc.

6) If a gas shielded process is to be used, a cylinder ofappropriate gas is required. (Regulator/flowmeter andhose are supplied.) If gas shielding is required, connectthe gas hose.

Remember that gas cylinders may explode if damaged, soensure that all gas cylinders are securely mounted.

Ensure that the correct type and size wire feed rolls are fitted. Inreplacing wire feed rolls, ensure that the key and keyway arecorrectly positioned and tighten the knurled locking screwsecurely.

Fit a spool of appropriate wire onto the 50mm spool hub so that,as wire is fed the spool turns clockwise when looking at thespool. Carefully release the end of the wire from the spoolensuring that the released end is held to stop the wire fromunravelling. Cut off the end kink to give a smooth straight end ofwire.

Obtain a gap between the wire feed roll and the pressure roll bylifting the cam latch. Feed the wire end into the guide tube,between the drive rolls, and into the “Euro” connector guide untilit protrudes about 20mm out of the front of the “Euro” connector.Close the drive rolls by lowering the cam latch ensuring the rollsfirmly hold the wire. Adjust the tension so that wire feedssmoothly. Do not overtighten.

Fit the gun and cable assembly onto the “Euro” connector byslipping the end of wire into the cable wire hole. Tighten the“Euro” connector lock ring.

Activate the power source, set the wire feed speed mid-way onthe dial and depress the gun trigger. The wire feed roll shouldturn, feeding the wire further up the gun and cable assembly.

Ensure there are no kinks or sharp bends in the gun cable andhold the gun trigger until the wire emerges from the gun. It isgood practice to remove the tip when first feeding a new coil ofwire, then refitting over the wire and tightening.

Cut off the end of the wire leaving 10mm to 15mm stick-out.

Select required polarity. See Section 1.5 - Output PolarityConnection.

4. Welding

Select the output voltage required to suit the job by setting thevoltage switch position.

Before beginning welding, ensure the wire protrudes from thegun tip by approximately 10-15mm. Ensure welding shield andother protective clothing are in place. Present the protrudingelectrode just off the work. Maintain a steady grip on the gun,protect your eyes with a welding shield, then press and hold thegun trigger to create the arc.

If it is necessary to adjust the weld voltage, stop welding beforechanging the rotary switch.

Adjust the wire feed speed as necessary to suit the job. At thecompletion of the weld, release the gun trigger.

Changing Electrode Size and TypeWhen changing the electrode size or type, ensure the wire feedroll is the correct size and type for the electrode. Wire feed rollshave two grooves each of different sizes. Ensure the roll islocated by the key and keyway and firmly secured by knurledscrew.

When changing to aluminium welding a u-groove drive roll, tefloncable liner and aluminium type contact tip should be used.

Also check electrode polarity, as different processes may requiredifferent polarities.

Adjust Spool TensionThe spool should stop rotating when the wire feed roll stops.Overrun of the spool can cause the coil of wire to unravel. Thespool hub should be tensioned so that it neither drags noroverruns. The tension can be set by adjusting the large nut insidethe hub with a tube spanner.

When the gun trigger is pressed, the wire is at weldingvoltage. The wire should never touch the case of themachine. If it does, it is possible for the wire to arc to thecase.

Any wire overrun should be avoided.

5. MAINTENANCESafety Precautions

Routine MaintenanceGeneral

In extremely dusty locations, dirt may clog the air passages andcause the welder to run hot. Blow dirt out of the welder with low-pressure air at regular intervals to eliminate excessive dirt anddust build-up on internal parts.

The fan motors have sealed ball bearings which require noservice.

Welding Thermal Overload Protection

The machine has built-in protective thermostats that respond toexcessive temperature. They open the welder output circuit if themachine exceeds the maximum safe operating temperaturebecause of a frequent overload, or high ambient temperatureplus overload. The orange thermal light will flash if the machine isapproaching its thermal limit.

If the light is flashing, a 2 minute cooling delay applies. If the lightis on and not flashing the machine is over temperature and willreset when a safe temperature is reached.

Gun and Cable MaintenanceCable Cleaning

Clean cable liner after using approximately 150kg of electrode.Remove the cable from the wire feeder and lay it out straight onthe floor. Remove the contact tip from the gun. Using an air hoseand approx. 350 kPa (50psi) pressure, gently blow out the cableliner from the gas diffuser end.

Flex the cable over its entire length and again blow out the cable.Repeat this procedure until no further dirt comes out.

Gun Tips and NozzlesThe gun tip should be replaced when worn. Replace with thecorrect size for the wire type and diameter. Too large a tip for theelectrode wire will cause arcing within the gun cable and possiblejamming of the wire within the cable .

Remove spatter from inside of gas nozzle and from tip after each10 minutes of arc time or as required.

Drive Rolls and Guide Tubes

After every coil of wire, inspect the wire drive mechanism. Cleanit as necessary by blowing with low pressure compressed air. Donot use solvents for cleaning the idle roll because this may washthe lubricant out of the bearing. All drive rolls are stamped withthe wire sizes they will feed. If a wire size other than thatstamped on the roll is to be used, the drive roll must be changed.

Avoiding Wire Feeding Problems

Wire feeding problems can be avoided by observing the followinggun handling procedures:-

1. Do not kink or pull gun cable around sharp corners.

2. Keep the gun cable as straight as possible when weldingor loading electrode through cable.

3. Keep gun cable clean by following maintenanceinstructions.

4. Use only clean, rust-free electrode. LiquidArc electrodehas proper surface lubrication.

5. Replace contact tip when the arc star ts to becomeunstable or the contact tip end is fused or deformed.

Input LeadIf the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a specialcord, Part No. AS2373-9.

Excessive pressure at the start may cause dirt to form aplug.

CAUTION

WARNING


• Have an electrician install and

service this equipment.

• Turn the input power off at the

fuse box, or unplug input lead

before working on equipment.

Ensure the machine is fitted with a 25 amp lead and plugfor full output.

CAUTION


GROUND TEST PROCEDUREWarning: This procedure is only suitable forapplications using DC mega testers up to 500V.

Note: This procedure is for ‘machines as built ’ manymodifications could have taken place over the life of a particularmachine, so details of this procedure may need to be ‘adjusted’to suit these modifications.

For prompt service contact your local authorised LiquidArc FieldService Shop.

The insulation resistance values listed below are from AustralianStandard AS60974.1.

If any problems are encountered refer to your nearest authorisedLiquidArc Field Service Shop.

1. Disconnect input cable from power supply.

2. Disconnect gun assembly and work cable.

3. Remove the side panel from power source.

4. Jumper the two (2) AC terminals and both output terminalsof the bridge rectifier, (a total of three (4) places).

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

Procedure for Replacing PC BoardsBefore replacing a PC board suspected of being defective,visually inspect the PC board in question for any visible damageto any of its components and conductors on the back of theboard.

1. If there is no visible damage to the PC board, install a newone and see if this remedies the problem. If the problem isremedied, reinstall the original PC board to see if theproblem still exists. If the problem no longer exists with theold PC board:

a. Check the PC board harness connector pins forcorrosion, contamination, or looseness.

b. Check leads in the machine harness for loose orintermittent connection.

2. If PC board is visibly damaged, before possibly subjectingthe new PC board to the same cause of failure, check forpossible shorts, opens or grounds caused by:

a. Damaged lead insulation.

b. Poor lead termination, such as a poor contact or ashort to adjacent connection or surface.

c. Shorted or open motor leads, or other external leads.

d. Foreign matter or interference behind the PC board.

3. If PC board is visibly damaged, inspect for cause, thenremedy before installing a replacement PC board.
