HIGH FREQUENCY WARNINGS
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ARE REQUIRED WHEN USING PLASMA,
TIG OR ANY WELDING PROCESS THAT USES HIGH FREQUENCY
TO STRIKE AN ARC.
WARNING: HIGH FREQUENCY CAN EFFECT MACHINE
OPERATION AND THEREFORE, WELD QUALITY.
Read the precautions below before installing and using the equipment.
PRECAUTIONS:
1) Some plasma or welding cables are strong sources of high frequency interference.
NEVER lay a plasma or welding cable across the controls of the machine.
2) Always physically separate the plasma or welding cable leads from the machine cables. For example, the plasma or welding cable leads should NEVER be bundled
with a pendant cable or the machine power cord. Maximize the separation between
any machine cables and the plasma or welding cables.
3) Strictly follow the grounding procedures specied for the plasma or welding unit. NOTE: Some plasma and welding units produce exceptionally large amounts of high frequency noise. They may require a grounding rod be driven into the earth within six feet (2 meters) of the plasma or welding unit to become compatible with an
automatic cutting or welding process.
4) If the high frequency is produced using a spark gap, adjust the points so the gap is as
small as possible. The larger the gap, the higher the voltage and the higher the interference.
5) Some plasma or welding units will inject high frequency interference into the AC power line. Use separate power line branches whenever possible to power the plasma
or welding source and the machine. Do not plug them into the same outlet box.
6) High frequency noise may enter the machine through the plasma or welding supply
remote contactor leads. Some plasma and welding sources can produce noise spikes
of up to several thousand volts. These sources are not compatible with automated cutting and welding equipment. It is recommended that the remote contactor leads on these plasma or welding sources not be connected to the machine. An alternate
solution is to purchase a separate remote contactor isolation box.

SET-UP AND OPERATION:
POWER SOURCE:
Please refer to the included Lincoln NA3 user’s manual for welding power source requirements
and system set-up.
GUNS AND CABLES:
All circle welders come equipped with a gun and cable assembly. It is our recommendation that
at least once a week the liner be taken out of the cable and soaked overnight in a solvent solution. To keep the wire moving it is also recommended that a felt clip be saturated with a product
like Ferro Slick and feed through the incoming tube of the wire feeder at least once a day.
ADDITIONAL CABLES:
The circle welders are supplied with the following cables:
1. CWO-3971 50’ (15 m) power cable that connects the power source to the cable
connector on the top gear of the machine.
2. CWO-3040 50’ (15 m) weld cable that connects the lead coming out of the top of the
machine using the quick connect connector to your power supply.
3. CWO-9406 50’ (15 m) gas shielding hose that connects the gas tting on the top of the
shaft to your shielding gas supply.

SET-UP AND OPERATION CONTINUED:
WIRE SPEED AND VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT:
The wire speed control on the front of the LDC-NA3S Wire Feed Control box has a dial that is
calibrated directly in inches per minute. Set the voltage using the control on the power source.
RISE AND FALL OF THE CAM:
All circle welders are equipped with a rise and fall cam assembly. The cam assembly must be aligned before any other
settings can be made. To align the cam rotate the machine so
the horizontal rack is parallel to the pipe, then adjust the gun
holder so it is perpendicular to the horizontal rack. Position
torch tip to top dead center of joint. Loosen the set screws in
the brass block on the cam, and rotate the cam to the vertical
position as shown. Refasten set screws.
CAM SETTING:
The cam setting is equal to distance “B” subtracted from
distance “A”.
Example:
Let A=3 and B=2
B
A
B
A
3-2=1
The cam setting is 1.
WHEEL ADJUSTMENT:
The CW-18 Racking System CWO-1840 and the Small Vertical Racker
CWO-1690 are equipped with adjustable wheels. Always check these
components for proper wheel adjustment before using the machine. The
wheels need adjustment if you can cock or wiggle the components out of
alignment. The wheels should be snug but not prohibit movement along
the path of travel. The wheels with the hex stand offs are adjustable. To
adjust the wheels, loosen the hex bolt (A) until the adjustable bushing (B)
can be rotated. Correct the wheel alignment by rotating the adjustable
bushing (B). Once adjusted, hold the adjustable bushing (B) while
tightening the hex bolt (A). Recheck alignment.

MACHINE CONTROLS:
Operational parameters can be set using the two control boxes. Please
refer to the section in this manual entitled CWO-6210-CW18 Rotational
Control for descriptions of the various speed and directional capabilities. For the LD-NA3S NA-3 Wire
Feeder Control; refer to the supplied NA-3 Semiautomatic Wire Feeder Manual from Lincoln Electric.
MAKING A WELD:
1. Position the gun to start position using the CWO-1840 Racking System.
2. Connect the ground cable to the workpiece. The ground cable must make good electrical
contact with the work.
3. Position the electrode in the joint. The end of the electrode may be lightly touching the
work.
4. With manual/auto switch in the “OFF” position, set rotation direction and speed.
5. Weld process and rotation are both started by throwing the manual/auto switch to auto.
6. Weld process and rotation are stopped by throwing the manual/auto switch to “OFF”.
