WARNING

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause can- cer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

The Above For Diesel Engines

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

The Above For Gasoline Engines

ARC WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.

Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommended that you purchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199.

BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

FOR ENGINE powered equipment.

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

____________________________________________________

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

outdoors.

____________________________________________________

1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running.

Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporiz- ing 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.

____________________________________________________

1.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.

____________________________________________________

1.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.

___________________________________________________

1.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.

___________________________________________________

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

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

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure them with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

IM693 specifications

Lincoln Electric IM693 is a cutting-edge multiprocess welding machine designed to cater to the needs of both industrial and commercial applications. Renowned for its versatility, this machine can perform MIG, TIG, and stick welding, making it an ideal choice for fabricators and manufacturers looking for a single solution for varied welding processes.

One of the standout features of the IM693 is its advanced inverter technology. This technology significantly enhances the efficiency of the welding process by reducing energy consumption while maximizing output. The inverter design allows for a more compact and lightweight unit compared to traditional transformers, making it easier to transport and maneuver in work environments.

The machine’s user-friendly interface is another compelling characteristic. It is equipped with a large, intuitive digital display that allows operators to quickly adjust settings for specific applications. The system is designed to provide real-time feedback on welding parameters, ensuring consistent and high-quality welds. This feature is particularly beneficial for both novice and experienced welders, facilitating a smoother workflow.

Additionally, Lincoln Electric IM693 incorporates advanced arc control technologies such as Soft Start and Auto Set features. Soft Start allows for a gradual ramp-up of the welding current, which minimizes spatter and leads to cleaner welds. The Auto Set feature intelligently adjusts the welder's settings based on the material type and thickness, taking the guesswork out of the welding process and improving overall efficiency.

The IM693 supports a wide range of input voltages, allowing for operation in various regions without the need for additional equipment. This flexibility makes it suitable for numerous applications, ranging from automotive repair to heavy machinery fabrication.

Safety is paramount in industrial settings, and the Lincoln Electric IM693 does not compromise on this front. It is equipped with several safety features such as thermal overload protection, which prevents machine damage from overheating, and a sturdy casing that protects vital components from dust and debris.

In summary, Lincoln Electric IM693 is a robust, versatile, and technologically advanced welding machine that meets the demands of modern welding applications. Its combination of inverter technology, user-friendly features, and safety measures makes it an excellent choice for professionals looking to achieve high-quality results with maximum efficiency.
