Magnum 550 Guns

The easiest and least expensive way to use the Magnum 550 guns with Power Feed™ 10 Dual wire feeders is to order the gun with the K613-7 connector kit, and install a K1500-3 gun connection kit to the wire feeder.

Lincoln Innershield and Sub Arc Guns

All of these guns can be connected to the Power Feed™ 10 Dual Wire Feeder by using the K1500-1 Adapter Kit.

Lincoln Fume Extraction Guns

The K556 (250XA) and K566 (400XA) guns require that a K489-10 Fast-Mate™ adapter kit be installed. Installation of this adapter also requires a K1500-1 gun connector kit.

The K206, K289, and K309 require only the installa- tion of a K1500-1 connector in the Power Feed wire feeder.

Non-Lincoln Guns

Most competitive guns can be connected to the Power Feed™ 10 Dual Wire Feeder by using one of the K1500 series adapter kits, See “Gun Adapters” in ACCESSORIES section.

GENERAL GUN CONNECTION GUIDELINES

The instructions supplied with the gun and K1500 series gun adapter should be followed when installing and configuring a gun. What follows are some gener- al guidelines that are not intended to cover all guns.

a. Check that the drive rolls and guide tubes are proper for the electrode size and type being used. If not, change them.

b. Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector on the welding conductor cable into the brass conductor block on the front of the wire drive head. Make sure it is all the way in and tighten the hand clamp. Keep this connection clean and bright. Connect the trigger control cable polarized plug into the mating 5 cavity receptacle on the front of the wire drive unit.

Note: for Fast-Mate and European connector style guns, connect gun to gun connector making sure all pins and gas tube line up with appropri- ate holes in connector. Tighten gun by turning large nut on gun clockwise.

c.For GMA Gun Cables with separate gas fittings, connect the 3/16” I.D. gas hose from the wire drive unit to the gun cable barbed fitting.

d.For water cooled guns see WATER CONNEC- TIONS in this section.

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.

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

NOTE: Gas supply pressure must be regulated to a maximum of 80 psi(5.5 bar).

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.
