CYLINDER may explode if	FOR ENGINE powered
damaged	equipment

5.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators, designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.

b.Always keep cylinders in an upright position and securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

c.Cylinders should be located :

•Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.

•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks or flame.

d.Never allow the electrode, electrode holder, or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

e.Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.

f.Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand-tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.

g.Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders and associated equipment, and AS 2030 Parts 1 & 2.

FOR ELECTRICALLY powered equipment

6.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment.

b.Install equipment in accordance with the SAA Wiring Rules, all local codes and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

c.Ground the equipment in accordance with the SAA

Wiring Rules and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

7.a.Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.

b.Operate engines in open, well ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.

c.Do not add fuel near an open flame, welding

arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refuelling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated.

d.Keep all equipment, safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.

e.In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is

complete. Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts.

f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.

g.To prevent accidentally starting petrol engines while turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire as appropriate.

h.To avoid scalding do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot.

HAVE ALL INSTALLATIONS, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR WORK PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PEOPLE

For more detailed information it is strongly recommended that you purchase a copy of “Safety in Welding and Cutting - ANSI Standard Z 49.1” and WTIA Technical Note 7. All WTIA publications and ANSI/AWS Standards are available from the Welding Technology Institute of Australia, P.O. Box 6165, Silverwater NSW 2128. For copies of various Australian Standards contact your local S.A.A. office.

HOW TO ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS

To ensure that you receive the correct replacement part the following procedure should be followed:

1.Quote Serial Number and Code Number.

2.Quote the Description, Item Number and Parts List Number of the desired part. When ordering parts for items carrying brand names of other companies, such as fan motors, drive shafts, etc., be sure to include the other company’s name and part number and other relevant information.

3.Should the primary cord be damaged, a special cord is required, and is available from Lincoln.

4.Parts should be ordered from Lincoln’s nearest authorised Field Service Shop. (The “Lincoln Service Directory” listing these shops geographically is available on request.)

NOTE: “Hardware” in the Lincoln Parts Lists are not Lincoln stock items but can be obtained via the Field Service Shop network. Component parts of assemblies such as stator coils or armature coils, etc., which require electrical testing or locating fixtures are not considered replaceable items. This is to ensure that the customer receives parts which will keep the welder in the best operating condition.
