•Do not attach the work clip to the wire feeder.
•Connect the work clip directly to the work, as close as possible to the welding arc.
•Turn power off at the welding power source before disconnecting the work clip from the work.
•Only use on power sources with open circuit voltages less than 110 VDC.
LOCATION
For best wire feeding performance, place the LN- 25™ PIPE on a stable and dry surface. Keep the wire feeder in a vertical position. Do not operate the wire feeder on an angled surface of more than 15 degrees.
