GMAW SHIELDING GAS

WARNING

CYLINDER may explode if damaged.

• Keep cylinder upright and chained to

support.

• Keep cylinder away from areas where it may be damaged.

•Never lift welder with cylinder attached.

•Never allow welding electrode to touch cylinder.

•Keep cylinder away from welding or other live elec- trical circuits.

BUILDUP OF SHIELDING GAS may harm health or kill.

• Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.

SEE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z-49.1, “SAFETY IN WELDING AND CUTTING” PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY.

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

Customer must provide a cylinder of shielding gas, a pressure regulator, a flow control valve, and a hose from the flow valve to the gas inlet fitting of the wire drive unit.

Connect a supply hose from the gas cylinder flow valve outlet to the 5/8-18 female inert gas fitting on the back panel of the wire drive or, if used, on the inlet of the Gas Guard regulator. (See Below).

Gas Guard Regulator - The Gas Guard Regulator is an optional accessory (K659-1) on these models.

Install the 5/8-18 male outlet of the regulator to the 5/8-18 female gas inlet on the back panel of the wire drive. Secure fitting with flow adjuster key at top. Attach gas supply to 5/8-18 female inlet of regulator per instructions above.

WIRE SPINDLE PLACEMENT

The reel stand provides two mounting locations for the 2 inch diameter wire reel spindle to accommodate var- ious reel sizes. Each mounting location consists of a tube in the center of the reel stand, and locating slots on the outside of the reel stand. The bolt, used with a plain washer and lock washer, slides through the tube from the side of the reel stand. The bolt should be threaded into the wire spindle such that the tabs on the brake mechanism align with the locating slots, then tighten.

The upper location must be used for 50-60 lb. Readi- Reels, Spools and Coils.

For smaller coils (44lb, 30lb, 10lb, etc.), the spindle can be placed in either the upper or lower location. The goal is to make the wire path from the coil to the wire drive an entry into the incoming guide tube that is as straight as possible. This will optimize wire feeding performance.

WATER CONNECTIONS (FOR WATER COOLED GUNS)

If a water cooled gun is to be installed for use with the Power Feed 10 Dual, a K590-6 Water connection kit can be installed for each gun requiring water cooling. Contained in the kit are the water lines and quick con- nect water line fittings that install in the wire feed head. Follow the installation instructions included in the kit. Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if they are used even momentarily without water flowing. To protect the gun, we recommended that a water flow sense kit be installed. This will pre- vent wire feeding if no water flow is present.

WIRE FEED SHUT DOWN CIRCUIT (OPTIONAL)

This circuit is intended to be used as a means of stop- ping wire feeding in the event that the water cooler (for a water cooled gun) is not turned on. Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if they are used even momentarily without water flowing. A Lincoln K1536-1 flow sensor kit is available for this purpose.

The K1536-1 has two control leads coming from the unit that become electrically common when water is flowing. The .25 inch tab terminals of leads 570 and 572, inside the feed head case, are disconnected from each other. Then the flow sensor control wires are connected to leads 570 and 572. Refer to the instruc- tions that come with flow sensor kit for detailed instal- lation instructions.
