BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION,MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES AREPERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

FOR ENGINE POWEREDEQUIPMENT.

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

1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilatedareas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.

1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flamewelding arc or when the engine is running.Stop the engine and allow it to cool beforerefueling 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 not start engine untilfumes have been eliminated.

1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers anddevices in position and in good repair.Keephands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving partswhen starting, operating or repairingequipment.

1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards toperform required maintenance. Remove guards only whennecessary and replace them when the maintenance requiringtheir removal is complete. Always use the greatest care whenworking near moving parts.

1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt tooverride the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle controlrods while the engine is running.

1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turningthe engine or welding generator during maintenance work,disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wireas appropriate.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiatorpressure cap when the engine is hot.

ELECTRIC ANDMAGNETIC FIELDS MAYBE DANGEROUS

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductorcauses localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Weldingcurrent creates EMF fields around welding cables and weldingmachines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and weldershaving a pacemaker should consult their physician beforewelding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effectswhich 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 and workcables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, thework cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as pos-sible to the area being welded.

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

SAFETY

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits areelectrically “hot” when the welder is on. Donot touch these “hot” parts with your bare skinor 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 areaof physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, ifwelding must be performed under electricallyhazardous conditions (in damp locations or whilewearing wet clothing; on metal structures such asfloors, gratings or scaffolds; when in crampedpositions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if thereis a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contactwith the workpiece or ground) use the followingequipment:• 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 weldinggun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connection shouldbe 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 of electrodeholders connected to two welders because voltage between thetwo can be the total of the open circuit voltage of bothwelders.

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 It ems 6.c. and 8.

ARC RAYS CAN BURN.

4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect youreyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding orobserving open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens shouldconform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant materialto protect your skin and that of your helpers from the 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.

FUMES AND GASESCAN BE DANGEROUS.

5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gaseshazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes 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 weldingwith electrodes which require special ventilationsuch as stainless or hard facing (see instructionson container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmiumplated steel and other metals or coatings whichproduce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as lowas possible and within applicable OSHA PEL andACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust ormechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or insome circumstances, outdoors, a respirator maybe required. Additional precautions are alsorequired when welding on galvanized steel.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected byvarious factors including proper use and positioning of theequipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specificwelding procedure and application involved. Worker exposurelevel should be checked upon installation and periodicallythereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL andACGIH TLV limits.

5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. Theheat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to formphosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and causeinjury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially inconfined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including thematerial safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employer’ssafety practices. MSDS forms are available from your weldingdistributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

SAFETY

WELDING AND CUTTINGSPARKS CAN CAUSEFIRE OR EXPLOSION.

6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. Ifthis is not possible, cover them to prevent thewelding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that weldingsparks and hot materials from welding can easily go throughsmall cracks and 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, specialprecautions 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 istouching the work or ground. Accidental contact can causeoverheating 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 procedures willnot cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside.They can cause an explosion even though they have been“cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended SafePractices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting ofContainers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”,AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see addressabove).

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 oil freeprotective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cufflesstrousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugswhen welding out of position or in confined places. Always wearsafety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding areaas practical. Work cables connected to the building framework orother locations away from the welding area increase thepossibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains,crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create firehazards 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 DuringWelding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma 022690-9101.

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

CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IFDAMAGED.

7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containingthe correct shielding gas for the process usedand properly operating regulators designed forthe gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings,etc. should be suitable for the application andmaintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained toan undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:

• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjectedto physical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operationsand any 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 hand tightexcept 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 forSafe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders,” availablefrom the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson DavisHighway, Arlington, VA 22202.

ELECTROMAGNETICCOMPATIBILITY (EMC)

CONFORMANCE

Products displaying the CE mark are in conformity with EuropeanCommunity Council Directive of 3 May 1989 on the approximation ofthe laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compat-ibility (89/336/EEC). It was manufactured in conformity with a nationalstandard that implements a harmonized standard: EN 60974-10Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc WeldingEquipment. It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It isdesigned for industrial and professional use.

INTRODUCTION

All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagneticemission. Electrical emission may be transmitted through power linesor radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter. Whenemissions are received by other equipment, electrical interferencemay result. Electrical emissions may affect many kinds of electricalequipment; other nearby welding equipment, radio and TV reception,numerical controlled machines, telephone systems, computers, etc.Be aware that interference may result and extra precautions may berequired when a welding power source is used in a domestic estab-lishment.

INSTALLATION AND USE

The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipmentaccording to the manufacturer’s instructions. If electromagneticdisturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of theuser of the welding equipment to resolve the situation with thetechnical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedialaction may be as simple as earthing (grounding) the welding circuit,see Note. In other cases it could involve construction of an electro-magnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work completewith associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbancesmust be reduced to the point where they are no longer troublesome.Note: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons

according to national codes. Changing the earthing arrangements shouldonly be authorized by a person who is competent to access whether thechanges will increase the risk of injury, e.g., by allowing parallel weldingcurrent return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equip-ment.

ASSESSMENT OF AREA

Before installing welding equipment the user shall make anassessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the surroundingarea. The following shall be taken into account:

a. other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables;above, below and adjacent to the welding equipment;

b. radio and television transmitters and receivers;

c. computer and other control equipment;

d. safety critical equipment, e.g., guarding of industrial equipment;

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

f. equipment used for calibration or measurement

g. the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shallensure that other equipment being used in the environment iscompatible. This may require additional protection measures;

h. the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.

The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on thestructure of the building and other activities that are taking place. Thesurrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.

METHODS OF REDUCING EMISSIONS

Mains SupplyWelding equipment should be connected to the mains supplyaccording to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If interferenceoccurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such asfiltering of 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 should beconnected to the welding power source so that good electrical contactis maintained between the conduit and the welding power sourceenclosure.

Maintenance of the Welding EquipmentThe welding equipment should be routinely maintained according tothe manufacturer’s recommendations. All access and service doorsand covers should be closed and properly fastened when the weldingequipment is in operation. The welding equipment should not bemodified in any way except for those changes and adjustmentscovered in the manufacturers instructio ns. In particular, the sparkgaps of arc striking and stabilizing devices should be adjusted andmaintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Welding CablesThe welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should bepositioned close together, running at or close to floor level.

Equipotential BondingBonding of all metallic components in the welding installation andadjacent to it should be considered. However, metallic componentsbonded to the work piece will increase the risk that the operator couldreceive a shock by touching these metallic components and theelectrode at the same time. The operator should be insulated from allsuch bonded metallic components.

Earthing of the WorkpieceWhere the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, notconnected to earth because of its size and position, e.g., ships hull orbuilding steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth mayreduce emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be takento prevent the earthing of the work piece increasing the risk of injuryto users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary,the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a directconnection to the work piece, but in some countries where directconnection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved bysuitable capacitance, selected according to national regulations.

Screening and ShieldingSelective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment inthe surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference.Screening of the entire welding installation may be considered forspecial applications. 1 Portions of the preceding text are contained in EN 60974-10: “ElectromagneticCompatibility (EMC) product standard for arc welding equipment.”

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION (PRODUCTCAPABILITIES)

These small portable wire feed welders are capable ofMIG welding on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.They are also capable of flux-cored welding on mildsteel.

MIG welding stands for Metal Inert Gas welding andrequires a separate bottle of shielding gas to protectthe weld until it cools. Appropriate shielding gasbased on the type of material you are welding can bepurchased separately from your local welding gas dis-tributor. MIG welding is ideal for welding on thinnerand clean materials when a very clean excellent cos-metic looking weld is required. An example would beautomotive body panels.

Flux-cored Welding does not require separate shield-ing gas to protect the weld since the welding wire hasspecial additives known as flux to protect the welduntil it cools. Flux-cored welding is ideal for mediumto thicker material and if welding on painted or rustysteel. Flux-cored welding is also ideal in outdoorapplications where windy conditions might blow theMIG shielding gas away from the weld. Flux-coredwelding produces a good looking weld but does notproduce an excellent weld appearance as MIG weld-ing does.

Your machine includes the necessary items to weldwith either the MIG or the flux-cored welding processon steel. To weld on stainless steel optional stainlesssteel welding wire can be purchased separately. Thismachine can weld aluminum using .035”(0.9mm)diameter 4043 aluminum welding wire. Since alu-minum welding wire is soft an optional aluminumspool gun is recommended for best results. A weldingProcedure Decal is located inside machine door tohelp provide suggested settings for welding.

Read entire operation section beforeoperating the POWER MIG.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.• Do not touch electrically live

parts or electrode with skin orwet clothing. Insulate yourselffrom work and ground.

• Always wear dry insulatinggloves.

FUMES AND GASES can bedangerous.• Keep your head out of fumes.

• Use ventilation or exhaust toremove fumes from breathingzone.

WELDING SPARKS cancause fire or explosion.• Keep flammable material away.

• Do not weld on closed contain-ers.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Disconnect input power by removingplug from receptacle before workinginside POWER MIG (140, 180 MODELS).Use only grounded receptacle. Do nottouch electrically “hot” parts insidePOWER MIG (140, 180 MODELS).

• Have qualified personnel do the mainte-nance and trouble shooting work.

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

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

POWER SOURCE COMPARTMENTNo user serviceable parts inside! Do not attempt to performservice in the power source (fixed) side of the POWER MIG(140, 180 MODELS). Take the unit to an authorized LincolnService Center if you experience problems. NO maintenanceis required.

In extremely dusty locations, dirt may clog the air passagescausing the welder to run hot with premature tripping of ther-mal protection. If so, blow dirt out of the welder with low pres-sure air at regular intervals to eliminate excessive dirt and dustbuild-up on internal parts.

WIRE FEED COMPARTMENT

1. When necessary, vacuum accumulated dirt from gearboxand wire feed section.

2. Occasionally inspect the wire guides and keep groovesclean.

3. Motor and gearbox have lifetime lubrication and require nomaintenance.

FAN MOTOR

Has lifetime lubrication — requires no maintenance.

WIRE REEL SPINDLE

Requires no maintenance. Do not lubricate shaft.

WARNING

POWER MIG (140, 180 MODELS)

GUN AND CABLE MAINTENANCE

FOR MAGNUM™ 100L GUN

Gun Cable CleaningClean cable liner after using approximately 300 lbs(136 kg) of solid wire or 50 lbs (23 kg) of flux-coredwire. Remove the cable from the wire feeder and lay itout straight on the floor. Remove the contact tip fromthe gun. Using low pressure air, gently blow out thecable liner from the gas diffuser end.

Excessive pressure at the start may cause the dirtto form a plug.

Flex the cable over its entire length and again blowout the cable. Repeat this procedure until no furtherdirt comes out.

Contact Tips, Nozzles, and Gun Tubes1. Dirt can accumulate in the contact tip hole and

restrict wire feeding. After each spool of wire isused, remove the contact tip and clean it by push-ing a short piece of wire through the tip repeatedly.Use the wire as a reamer to remove dirt that maybe adhering to the wall of the hole through the tip.

2. Replace worn contact tips as required. A variableor “hunting” arc is a typical symptom of a worn con-tact tip. To install a new tip, choose the correct sizecontact tip for the electrode being used (wire size isstenciled on the side of the contact tip) and screw itsnugly into the gas diffuser.

3. Remove spatter from inside of gas nozzle and fromtip after each 10 minutes of arc time or as required.

4. Be sure the gas nozzle is fully screwed onto thediffuser for gas shielded processes. For theInnershield® process, the gasless nozzle shouldscrew onto the diffuser.

5. To remove gun tube from gun, remove gas nozzleor gasless nozzle and remove diffuser from guntube. Remove both collars from each end of thegun handle and separate the handle halves.Loosen the locking nut holding the gun tube inplace against the gun end cable connector.Unscrew gun tube from cable connector. To installgun tube, screw the locking nut on the gun tube asfar as possible. Then screw the gun tube into thecable connector until it bottoms. Then unscrew (nomore than one turn) the gun tube until its axis isperpendicular to the flat sides of the cable connec-tor and pointed in the direction of the trigger.Tighten the locking nut so as to maintain the properrelationship between the gun tube and the cableconnector. Replace the gun handle, trigger and dif-fuser. Replace the gas nozzle or gasless nozzle.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Output OverloadThe POWER MIG (140, 180 MODELS) is equippedwith a circuit breaker and a thermostat which protectsthe machine from damage if maximum output isexceeded. The circuit breaker button will extend outwhen tripped. The circuit breaker must be manuallyreset.

Thermal ProtectionThe POWER MIG (140, 180 MODELS) has a ratedoutput duty cycle as defined in the TechnicalSpecification page. If the duty cycle is exceeded, athermal protector will shut off the output until themachine cools to a reasonable operating temperature.This is an automatic function of the POWER MIG(140, 180 MODELS) and does not require user inter-vention. The fan continues to run during cooling.

Electronic Wire Drive Motor ProtectionThe POWER MIG (140, 180 MODELS) has built-inprotection for wire drive motor overload.
