ELECTRODES AND EQUIPMENT

The K126 Innershield Pro gun has been designed for use with Lincoln Innershield brand self-shielded cored wire electrodes. Refer to the appropriate Lincoln Process and Procedure Guidelines for the electrode used for information on recommended electrical and visible stick outs.

MAKING A WELD

WARNING

When using an open arc process, it is necessary to use eye, head, and body protection.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or inter- nal wiring.

Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

Always wear dry insulating gloves.

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

FUMES AND GASES can be danger- ous.

• Keep your head out of fumes.

Use ventilation or exhaust to remove fumes from breathing zone.

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

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.

Keep flammable material away.

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

ARC RAYS can burn.

• Wear eye, ear and body protection.

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

Only qualified personnel should operate this equipment.

1.Check that the welding power source is on.

2.Position electrode over joint. End of the electrode should be slightly off the work.

3.Lower welding helmet, close gun trigger, and begin welding. Hold the gun so the contact tip to work distance gives the correct electrical stick out as required for the procedure being used.

4.To stop welding, release the gun trigger and then pull the gun away from the work after the arc goes out.

AVOIDING WIRE FEEDING

PRObLEMS

Wire feeding problems can be avoided by observing the following gun handling procedures:

1.Do not kink or pull cable around sharp corners.

2.Keep the electrode cable as straight as possible when welding or loading electrode through cable.

3.Avoid wrapping excess cable around handle or front of wire feeder.

4.Do not allow dolly wheels or trucks to run over cables.

5.Keep cable clean by following maintenance instruc- tions.

6.Use only clean, rust-free electrode. The Lincoln electrodes have proper surface lubrication.

7.Replace contact tip when the arc starts to become unstable or the contact tip end is fused or deformed.
