Read and understand this entire section before oper- ating your LFA 3.1 or 4.1 Extraction Arm.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read all operating and maintenance man- uals supplied with your equipment and any related welding machine it will be used with. They include important safety precautions, operating and mainte- nance instructions and parts lists.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

•Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.

•Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

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

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.

•Keep flammable material away.

•Do not weld upon containers which have held combustibles.

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

ARC RAYS can burn.

•Wear eye, ear and body protection.

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

FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.

• Although the removal of the particu-

late matter from welding smoke may reduce the ventilation requirement, concentrations of the clear exhausted fumes and gases may still be haz- ardous to health. Avoid breathing concentrations of these fumes and gases. Use adequate ventilation when welding. See ANSI Z49.1, "Safety in Welding and Cutting", pub- lished by the American Welding Society.

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

Only qualified personnel should operate this equip- ment.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always operate the fan with the arm installed and all covers in place as these provide maximum protection from moving parts and insure proper vacuum opera- tion and cooling air flow.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn on the connected extraction system.

For details, refer to the Operating Instructions in the Mobiflex 200-M, Mobiflex 400-MS, or SF2400 Stationary Fan manual, as appropriate.

For optimum fume capture, position the hood within 10-15 inches (250-400 mm) of the arc. Use the rotary valve on the base of the hood to adjust the airflow to an apropriate level, if desired.

If using a Lamp Kit:

The switch on the hood with a lamp symbol operates the work lamp in the hood.

If using an Auto Start/Stop Arc Sensor:

The arc sensor will automatically switch the fan on when it senses an arc. Standard run-out time is approximately 20 sec. The work lamp operates inde- pendently of this sensor.

3.1, 4.1 specifications

Lincoln Electric 4.1 and 3.1 represent advanced welding technologies designed to enhance the efficiency and quality of welding processes. As a leader in the welding industry, Lincoln Electric has equipped these systems with features that cater to the needs of both professional welders and industrial applications.

One of the standout characteristics of the Lincoln Electric 4.1 and 3.1 is their user-friendly interface. Both systems include intuitive controls that allow welders to easily adjust settings for optimal welding performance. This ensures that even those with varying levels of experience can achieve high-quality welds with minimal training. The digital displays provide real-time feedback, allowing users to make immediate adjustments based on the welding conditions.

In terms of performance, both models are powered by advanced inverter technology. This enables them to deliver consistent welding arcs and reduce energy consumption compared to traditional welding machines. The inverter design also contributes to a lightweight and compact frame, making it easier for welders to transport the units to different job sites or maneuver them in tight spaces.

The welding processes supported by Lincoln Electric 4.1 and 3.1 include MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, making them versatile tools suitable for a variety of applications. This adaptability is particularly beneficial for businesses that require multi-process capabilities without investing in multiple machines. The machines are equipped with features like advanced arc control and adjustable inductance, which help to refine the quality of the weld and improve the overall aesthetic finish.

Both models also prioritize safety with features such as overload protection and thermal shutdown capabilities. This ensures that the units operate within safe parameters, reducing the risk of damage to the machine and enhancing the safety of the user.

Another significant aspect of the Lincoln Electric 4.1 and 3.1 is their durability. Constructed from high-quality materials designed to withstand rigorous working conditions, these systems are built to last. The robust design means less downtime due to repairs or replacements, ultimately contributing to cost efficiency for businesses.

In summary, the Lincoln Electric 4.1 and 3.1 welding systems stand out due to their advanced technology, user-friendly interfaces, versatility in welding processes, and durable construction. These features come together to make them reliable choices for professionals seeking to enhance their welding operations while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.
