Lincoln Electric LN-10 manual GUN and Cable Assemblies with FAST-MATE Connection

A-4 INSTALLATION A-4

Gun Cable Connection with Standard Connection

1.Check that the drive rolls and guide tubes are proper for the electrode size and type being used. If necessary, change them per “Wire Drive Roll Kits” in this section.

2.Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector on the welding conductor cable into the brass conduc- tor block on the front of the wire drive head. Make sure it is all the way in and tighten the hand clamp. Keep this connection clean and bright. Connect the trigger control cable polarized plug into the mating 5 cavity receptacle on the front of the wire drive unit.

3.For GMA Gun Cables with separate gas fitting (10 Series Wire Drive using K1500-1 Gun Adapter), connect the 3/16" I.D. gas hose from the wire drive unit to the gun cable barbed fitting.

GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES WITH FAST-MATE CONNECTION

(Requires K489-10 Fast Mate™ Adapter Kit used with the K1500-1 Gun Adapter)

GMAW Guns

An expanding line of Magnum Fast-Mate™ air cooled and water cooled gun and cable assemblies are avail- able to allow welding with solid and cored electrodes using the GMAW process. See the appropriate Magnum literature for descriptions of the 200 to 400 ampere air cooled gun and cables that are available as well as the Magnum “Super Cool” 450 ampere water cooled gun and cable. Gun cable lengths range from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 25 ft. (7.6 m) and feed electrode sizes .025" (0.6 mm) to 5/64" (20 mm).

An expanding line of Magnum X-Tractor gun and cable assemblies provides fume extraction capability for welding with solid and cored electrodes using the GMAW process. See the appropriate Magnum litera- ture for descriptions of the 250 to 400 ampere air cooled gun and cables that are available. Gun cable lengths range from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 15 ft. (4.5 m) and feed electrode sizes .035" (0.9 mm) to 1/16" (1.6 mm). These guns require the use of either the K173-1 or K184* vacuum units.

*Requires S14927-8 connector hose and an S20591 hose adapter.

Gun Cable Connection with Fast-Mate Connection

1.Check that the drive rolls, feeder guide tubes and gun connector guide tube are appropriate for the electrode size being used. If necessary, change them per “Wire Drive Roll Kits” in this section.

2.Connect gun to gun connector making sure all pins and gas tube line up with appropriate holes in con- nector. Tighten gun by turning large nut on gun cable clockwise.

10 SERIES WIRE DRIVE WATER CONNECTIONS (FOR WATER COOLED GUNS)

10 Series Wire Drive: must have a K590-4 Water Connection Kit installed for water cooled guns. (See

ACCESSORIES).

Using male quick-connect fittings, connect the water hoses to the coolant inlet and outlet on the back of the wire drive. Connect the other ends of these hoses to the appropriate ports on the water cooling units.

In the event the water line fittings on your water cooled gun are incompatible with the female quick connects on the front of the wire drive, male quick- connects (L.E. Part No. S19663) are provided in the Kit for installation on 3/16" (5 mm) I.D. hose (Customer to provide appropriate clamps). The feeder connectors self seal when disconnected.
