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 Items 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 below Threshold Limit Values (TLV) 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. 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 prod- ucts.

5.c. 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.d. 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.e. Also see item 1.b.

IM693 specifications

Lincoln Electric IM693 is a cutting-edge multiprocess welding machine designed to cater to the needs of both industrial and commercial applications. Renowned for its versatility, this machine can perform MIG, TIG, and stick welding, making it an ideal choice for fabricators and manufacturers looking for a single solution for varied welding processes.

One of the standout features of the IM693 is its advanced inverter technology. This technology significantly enhances the efficiency of the welding process by reducing energy consumption while maximizing output. The inverter design allows for a more compact and lightweight unit compared to traditional transformers, making it easier to transport and maneuver in work environments.

The machine’s user-friendly interface is another compelling characteristic. It is equipped with a large, intuitive digital display that allows operators to quickly adjust settings for specific applications. The system is designed to provide real-time feedback on welding parameters, ensuring consistent and high-quality welds. This feature is particularly beneficial for both novice and experienced welders, facilitating a smoother workflow.

Additionally, Lincoln Electric IM693 incorporates advanced arc control technologies such as Soft Start and Auto Set features. Soft Start allows for a gradual ramp-up of the welding current, which minimizes spatter and leads to cleaner welds. The Auto Set feature intelligently adjusts the welder's settings based on the material type and thickness, taking the guesswork out of the welding process and improving overall efficiency.

The IM693 supports a wide range of input voltages, allowing for operation in various regions without the need for additional equipment. This flexibility makes it suitable for numerous applications, ranging from automotive repair to heavy machinery fabrication.

Safety is paramount in industrial settings, and the Lincoln Electric IM693 does not compromise on this front. It is equipped with several safety features such as thermal overload protection, which prevents machine damage from overheating, and a sturdy casing that protects vital components from dust and debris.

In summary, Lincoln Electric IM693 is a robust, versatile, and technologically advanced welding machine that meets the demands of modern welding applications.
