DC WIRE FEED WELDING (CV) WITH RANGER 300 D

1.Connect an LN-25 with internal contactor to the Ranger 300 D.

2.The only Innershield electrode recommended for use with the Ranger 300 D is NR211MP. The elec- trode sizes and welding ranges that can be used with the Ranger 300 D are shown in the following table:

Electrode	Wire Speed	Approximate
Diameter	in. / min.	Current Range

.035”	70 - 110	60 - 120 amps

.045”	70 - 130	120 - 170 amps

.068”	40 - 90	125 - 210 amps

AFTER YOU FINISH WELDING:

1.Stop the engine.

2.Allow the work to cool completely.

3.Remove the work clamp from the work.

CARBON ARC GOUGING (CONSTANT CURRENT)

1.The recommended electrode is a 3/16” (4.8 mm) dia. carbon.

2Set the RANGE switch to 300.

3Set the POLARITY switch to DC+ (cc - blue setting).

4Set the OUTPUT control to 10.

5. Strike an arc and begin gouging.

The Ranger 300 D is recommended for limited "MIG" welding (GMAW - gas metal arc welding). The recom- mended electrodes are .030 and .035 L-50 and L-56. They must be used with a blended shielding gas such as C25 (75% Argon - 25% CO2). The .035 diameter electrode gives improved starting compared to .030 diameter. The welding ranges that can be used with the Ranger 300 D are shown in the following table:

Electrode	Wire Speed	Approximate
Diameter	in. / min.	Current Range
.030”	150 - 450	80 - 170 amps
.035”	100 - 350	80 - 190 amps

3.Set the IDLER control to AUTO.

4.Set the RANGE switch to WIRE FEED (CV-red set- ting).

5.Set the POLARITY SWITCH to either WIRE WELD- ING DC+ (red) or WIRE WELDING DC- (red), depending on the electrode.

6.Set the OUTPUT control to a setting between 1 and 10 that gives the most stable arc for the applica- tion.

7.Strike an arc and begin welding. The OUTPUT control can be adjusted while welding. DO NOT change the RANGE switch setting while welding. This can result in damage to the switch.

AFTER YOU FINISH GOUGING:

1.Stop the engine.

2.Allow the electrode and work to cool completely.

3.Remove the work clamp from the work.

SVM148-B specifications

The Lincoln Electric SVM148-B is a state-of-the-art inverter-based power source designed for both professional welders and hobbyists. As a versatile machine, it excels in a variety of welding applications including MIG, TIG, and stick welding. This machine is particularly notable for its efficiency and portability, making it an ideal choice for on-site projects or workshops where space is limited.

One of the main features of the SVM148-B is its inverter technology. Unlike traditional transformer-based welders, inverter welders are typically lighter and more compact. This means that users can transport the machine more easily without sacrificing power or performance. The SVM148-B is capable of delivering a substantial amperage range, allowing for adjustments that suit various materials and thicknesses, from thin sheet metal to thicker plates.

The machine offers adjustable output levels, providing precise control over the welding process. This level of control is essential for achieving clean, strong welds and is especially useful when working with different materials. The SVM148-B is equipped with digital display features that provide real-time feedback on power settings and welding parameters, allowing welders to make quick adjustments as needed.

Another significant advantage of the SVM148-B is its duty cycle, which is designed to accommodate extended usage without overheating. A robust duty cycle means that professionals can rely on this machine for prolonged periods, making it a dependable choice for heavy-duty tasks.

The SVM148-B also includes advanced safety features such as overload protection, which ensures that the machine will shut down in the event of excessive current draw. This feature not only protects the equipment but also enhances user safety during operation.

Moreover, the machine is compatible with a wide variety of welding wires and electrodes, adding to its versatility. Whether you're working with stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, the SVM148-B can adapt seamlessly.

In conclusion, the Lincoln Electric SVM148-B combines advanced inverter technology with user-friendly features, making it an invaluable addition to any welding setup. Its portability, control options, robust duty cycle, and safety measures set it apart as a reliable and efficient welding solution for professionals and hobbyists alike. Whether for a small workshop or large industrial applications, the SVM148-B meets the demands of modern welding with efficiency and ease.
