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 the fuel near an open flame
welding arc or when the engine is running.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool before
refueling 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.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines
while turning the engine or welding generator during
maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires,
distributor cap or magneto wire as appropriate.
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 workpiece as
close as possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

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 such as sitting, kneeling or
lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground)
use the 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
semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically
"hot".
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good
electrical connection with the metal being welded.
The connection should 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 and welding machine in good, safe operating
condition. Replace damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because
voltage between the two can be the total of the open
circuit voltage of both welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to
protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see It ems 6.c. and 8.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates
to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of
the arc when welding or observing open arc welding.
Headshield and filter lens should conform to
ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-
resistant material to protect your skin and that of
your helpers from the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-
flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch
the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to
hot spatter or metal.
FUMES AND GASES
CAN BE DANGEROUS.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous
to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.
When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use
enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.
When welding with electrodes which require
special ventilation such as stainless or hard
facing (see instructions on container or MSDS)
or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other
metals or coatings which produce highly toxic
fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and
within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV
limits using local exhaust or mechanical
ventilation. in confined spaces or in some
circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be
required. additional precautions are also
required when welding on galvanized steel.
5.b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is
affected by various factors including proper use and
positioning of the equipment, maintenance of the
equipment and the specific welding procedure and
application involved. Worker exposure level should
be checked upon installation and periodically
thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA
PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.
5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated
hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing,
cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays
of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form
phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating
products.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace
air and cause injury or death. Always use enough
ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure
breathing air is safe.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s
instructions for this equipment and the consumables
to be used, including the material safety data sheet
(MSDS) and follow your employer’s safety practices.
MSDS forms are available from your welding
distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.f. Also see item 1.b.

WELDING AND CUTTING
SPARKS CAN CAUSE
FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is
not possible, cover them to prevent the welding
sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding
sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go
through small cracks and openings to adjacent
areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic 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
hazardous situations. Refer to "Safety in Welding
and Cutting" (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the
operating information for the equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the
electrode circuit is touching the work or ground.
Accidental contact can cause overheating and create
a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers
until the proper steps have been taken to insure that
such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic
vapors from substances inside. They can cause an
explosion even though they have been "cleaned".
For information, purchase "Recommended Safe
Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting
of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances", AWS F4.1 from the American Welding
Society (see address above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating,
cutting or welding. They may explode.
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc.
Wear oil free protective garments such as leather
gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and
a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding
out of position or in confined places. Always wear
safety glasses with side shields when in a welding
area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the
welding area as practical. Work cables connected to
the building framework or other locations away from
the welding area increase the possibility of the
welding current passing through lifting chains, crane
cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire
hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they
fail.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.
6.i. Read and follow NFPA 51B "Standard for Fire
Prevention During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot
Work", available from NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park,
PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma 022690-9101.
6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF
DAMAGED.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders
containing the correct shielding gas for
the process used and properly operating
regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be
suitable for the application and maintained in good
condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
•Away from areas where they may be struck or
subjected to physical damage.
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting
operations and any other source of heat, sparks,
or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any
other electrically "hot" parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder
valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and
hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or
connected for use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA
publication P-l, "Precautions for Safe Handling of
Compressed Gases in Cylinders", available from the
Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis
Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
FOR ELECTRICALLY
POWERED EQUIPMENT.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at
the fuse box before working on the equipment.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S.
National Electrical Code, all local codes and the

Maintenance
WARNING
For any repair operations, modifications or maintenance,
it is recommended to contact the nearest Technical
Service Center or Lincoln Electric. Repairs and
modifications performed by unauthorized service or
personnel will cause the manufacturer’s warranty to
become null and void.
Any noticeable damage should be reported immediately
and repaired.
Routine maintenance
•Check the condition of water-cooler hoses and
connections of the power lead.
•Check the welding torch / gun condition: replace it, if
necessary.
•Check condition and operation of the cooling fan.
Keep its airflow slots clean.
•The reservoir volume should be checked daily before
using the cooler!!
•Keep the reservoir full, especially after disconnecting
the water lines or changing the accessory being
cooled.
Periodic maintenance (not less than once a year)
Perform the routine maintenance and, in addition:
•Keep the machine clean. Using a dry (and low
pressure) airflow, remove the dust from the external
case and from the heat exchanger inside.
•In dirty or dusty environments or if biological growth
occurs in the coolant, it may be necessary to flush
the coolant reservoir. Drain the old coolant, rinse the
inside of the reservoir and circulate rinsing solution
through the coolant system. Add new coolant when
cleaning is finished.
WARNING
Hot coolant can burn skin. Always be sure coolant is
NOT HOT before servicing the cooler.
WARNING
Special precautions have to be taken when
the coolant is removed from the cooler
reservoir. The coolant must not be poured
out into ground water, sewerage, or soil.
Read "Material Safety Data Sheet" (coolant
used) and contact the local Department of
Environmental Protection office to obtain
information on recycling coolant.
The frequency of the maintenance operations may vary
in accordance with the working environment where the
machine is placed.
WARNING
Do not touch electrically live parts.
WARNING
Before the case of machine will be removed, the
machine has to be turned off and the power lead has to
be disconnected from mains socket.
WARNING
Mains supply network must be disconnected from the
machine before each maintenance and service. After
each repair, perform proper tests to ensure safety.
Pump maintenance
•The pump head has a "built in" strainer on the
inlet side of the pump. It is recommended to
clean or replace the pump's inlet strainer at
least once a year.
•Drain the coolant reservoir and all coolant lines.
Dispose of the coolant properly as specified
above.
•Remove the pump cover to expose the pump
head.
•Hold the pump head firmly to apply a counter-
torque when loosing the strainer's 7/8" acorn
nut located on the bottom. Do not confuse with
3/4" acorn nut. Remove nut and slide inlet
strainer down and out from the pump head.
•Gently rinse the strainer under running water to
thoroughly clean it.
•Use a mirror to inspect the inside of the pump
for contamination. Carefully remove hardened
debris with a dental pick if necessary, without
scratching the inside of the pump. Use care not
to drop debris into pump.
•Reinstall the strainer and 7/8 acorn nut,
tightening with 75+/-15 in-lbs. of torque. Wipe
dry all area wetted with coolant. Dispose of
coolant soaked towels properly as specified
above.
Pump motor
It is recommended to re-oil the pump motor bearings
once a year as follows:
•Remove the plastic plugs located on the top of
both the inboard and outboard bearing end-
caps.
•Re-oil each bearing with 30-35 drops of SAE 20
oil then reinstall both plugs.
Pump inlet strainer
Poor cooler performance can usually be traced to a
partially or completely blocked pump inlet strainer. This
is a user-serviceable item and can be cleaned and
reused, or replaced.
Continued pump operation with a blocked strainer can
cause:
•Voiding of cooler service warranty
•Cavitation damage to the pump head’s inlet
areas
•Welding accessory damage from overheating
due to insufficient coolant flow rate.
A new or properly cleaned pump inlet strainer should
restore the cooler’s performance.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
11/04
This machine has been designed in accordance with all relevant directives and standards. However, it may still generate
electromagnetic disturbances that can affect other systems like telecommunications (telephone, radio, and television) or
other safety systems. These disturbances can cause safety problems in the affected systems. Read and understand this
section to eliminate or reduce the amount of electromagnetic disturbance generated by this machine..
This machine has been designed to operate in an industrial area. To operate in a domestic area it is
necessary to observe particular precautions to eliminate possible electromagnetic disturbances. The
operator must install and operate this equipment as described in this manual. If any electromagnetic
disturbances are detected the operator must put in place corrective actions to eliminate these disturbances
with, if necessary, assistance from Lincoln Electric.
Before installing the machine, the operator must check the work area for any devices that may malfunction because of
electromagnetic disturbances. Consider the following.
•Input and output cables, control cables, and telephone cables that are in or adjacent to the work area and the
machine.
•Radio and/or television transmitters and receivers. Computers or computer controlled equipment.
•Safety and control equipment for industrial processes. Equipment for calibration and measurement.
•Personal medical devices like pacemakers and hearing aids.
•Check the electromagnetic immunity for equipment operating in or near the work area. The operator must be sure
that all equipment in the area is compatible. This may require additional protection measures.
•The dimensions of the work area to consider will depend on the construction of the area and other activities that are
taking place.
Consider the following guidelines to reduce electromagnetic emissions from the machine.
•Connect the machine to the input supply according to this manual. If disturbances occur it may be necessary to take
additional precautions such as filtering the input supply.
•The output cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned together. If possible connect the
work piece to ground in order to reduce the electromagnetic emissions. The operator must check that connecting the
work piece to ground does not cause problems or unsafe operating conditions for personnel and equipment.
•Shielding of cables in the work area can reduce electromagnetic emissions. This may be necessary for special
applications.
WARNING
The Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public
low-voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those
locations, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
