WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•Unless using cold feed feature, when feeding with gun trigger, the elec- trode and drive mechanism are always electrically energized and could remain energized several sec- onds after the welding ceases.
•Do not touch electrically live parts or electrodes with your skin or wet clothing.
•Insulate yourself from the work and ground.
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.
• Keep your head out of fumes.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Power Wave
The Power Wave power source is designed to be used with the semi automatic family of Power Feed M wire feeders, operating as a system. Each component in the system has special circuitry to "talk with" the other sys- tem components, so each component (power source, wire feeder, user interface) knows what the other is doing at all times. These components communicate with Arclink.
The POWER WAVE 355M/405M is a high perfor- mance, digitally controlled inverter welding power source capable of complex,
