The Above For Gasoline Engines
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.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 vaporizing 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.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.
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.
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.
ii
SAFETY
ii
ELECTRIC SHOCK can
kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare
gloves to insulate hands.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use
the following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
3.f.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

ARC RAYS can burn.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and
the rays of the arc when welding or observing
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases. When welding, keep
your head out of the fume. Use enough
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as
low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical
ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required.
Additional precautions are also required when welding
on galvanized steel.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected
by various factors including proper use and positioning of
the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker
exposure level should be checked upon installation and
periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable
OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.
5.c.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suivantes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A LʼArc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien sʼisoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble
de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans lʼeau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de nʼimporte quelle partie
du corps.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où lʼon pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque dʼincendie.
8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayonnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde lʼarc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
lʻarc.
c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de lʼhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
lʼélectricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debrancher à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.
SAFETY
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Conformance
Products displaying the CE mark are in conformity with European Community Council Directive of 15 Dec
2004 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility,
2004/108/EC. It was manufactured in conformity with a national standard that implements a harmonized
standard: EN 60974-10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment.
It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It is designed for industrial and professional use.
Introduction
All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission. Electrical emission may be
transmitted through power lines or radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter. When emissions
are received by other equipment, electrical interference may result. Electrical emissions may affect many
kinds of electrical equipment; other nearby welding equipment, radio and TV reception, numerical controlled
machines, telephone systems, computers, etc. Be aware that interference may result and extra precautions
may be required when a welding power source is used in a domestic establishment.
Installation and Use
The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the
welding equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases
this remedial action may be as simple as earthing (grounding) the welding circuit, see Note. In other cases it
could involve construction of an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work complete
with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where
they are no longer troublesome.
vv
Note: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons according to national codes.
Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is competent to access whether the changes will increase the risk of injury, e.g., by allowing parallel
welding current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment.
Assessment of Area
Before installing welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:
a) other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables; above, below and adjacent to the
welding equipment;
b) radio and television transmitters and receivers;
c) computer and other control equipment;
d) safety critical equipment, e.g., guarding of industrial equipment;
e) the health of the people around, e.g., the use of pacemakers and hearing aids;
f) equipment used for calibration or measurement
g) the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equipment being
used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures;
h) the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.
SAFETY
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other
activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.
Methods of Reducing Emissions
Mains Supply
Welding equipment should be connected to the mains supply according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of the mains
supply. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The
shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is maintained
between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.
Maintenance of the Welding Equipment
The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except for those changes
and adjustments covered in the manufacturers instructions. In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and
stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
vivi
Welding Cables
The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at
or close to floor level.
Equipotential Bonding
Bonding of all metallic components in the welding installation and adjacent to it should be considered.
However, metallic components bonded to the work piece will increase the risk that the operator could
receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode at the same time. The operator
should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.
Earthing of the Workpiece
Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, not connected to earth because of its size
and position, e.g., ships hull or building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce
emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece
increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries
where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitance, selected
according to national regulations.
Screening and Shielding
Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire welding installation may be considered for special
applications

TRIGGER CONNECTIONS
There is one circular connector for the gun trigger on the
front of the RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME DUAL
POWER.
Note – if the gun trigger is already depressed when the
feeder is powered up, the feeder will not activate.
Release and then press the gun trigger to begin welding.
The 83% wire feed speed reduces the wire feed speed to
83% of the original set value when activated. For example, if the original wfs = 200 in/min, the feeder will regulate to 0.83 x 200 = 166 in/min.
The 83% trigger requires a gun with a dual procedure
switch.
This feature is often useful when welding pipe, and a
“cooler” procedure is required on the bottom portion.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME DUAL POWER
is specially engineered to be the most rugged portable wire
feeder available.
The RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME DUAL POWER
has patented technology enabling the wire feeder to run
either across the arc or with a control cable. The change
over is automatic – simply disconnect the work sense clip
and connect the control cable. The dual power feeder is a
universal feeder great for both field and shop service.
(For Code 12164 only) a dedicated gun adapter is
mechanically secured into the feed plate but directly
bolted to the feederʼs internal electrical welding buss
bar to reduce the likelihood of overheating occurring
at the feed plate. The bushing accepts Magnum Pro
guns (Tweco #2 to #4).
The plastic case is molded from a high impact, flame retardant plastic for durability and low weight.
The heart of the RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME
DUAL POWER is the 2 roll MAXTRAC™ drive. The patented features on the wire drive offer tool-less changing of the
drive rolls and wire guides for quick spool changes. A
tachometer controlled motor powers the patent pending
drive rolls for smooth, steady feeding without slippage.
With a 450 amp, 60% duty cycle rating, these feeders are
ready for heavy duty welding.
• GMAW-P procedures must be qualified by the customer.
• Across-the-Arc models are not recommended for stitch or
spot welding.
EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
• The duty cycle of the wire feeder is 450A, 60%.
Duty cycle is based upon the amount of welding performed in a 10 minute period.
• The maximum spool size is 45 lb. (24 Kg), 12”
(305mm) diameter.
• Maximum FCAW gun length is 15 ft.
• Maximum GMAW gun length is 25 ft.
• K2330-1 Timer Kits do not work with the feeder. Use
K2330-2 kits.
• Push-pull guns do not work with the

OPERATION
B-3
The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing the RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME DUAL
POWER wire feeder is and must be the sole
responsibility of the builder/user. Many variables
beyond the control of The Lincoln Electric
Company affect the results obtained in using the
RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME DUAL POWER
wirefeeder. These variables include, but are not
limited to, welding procedure, plate chemistry and
temperature, weldment design, fabrication methods and service requirements. The available
range of the RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME
POWER wirefeeder may not be suitable for all
applications, and the builder/user is and must be
solely responsible for welding settings.
CONSTANT CURRENT OPERATION
Setting Wire Feed Speed in CC mode
When Across the Arc models are operated with CC
power sources, the wire feed speed changes as the
arc voltage changes. When the arc voltage increases,
the wire feed speed will increase; and when the arc
voltage decreases, the wire feed speed will decrease.
To preset the wire feed speed on CC power sources:
1. Set the Wire Feed Mode switch inside the LN25™
Pro to "CC".
2. Refer to the Figure B.1a graph for the setting for
the wire feed speed knob setting. Select the horizontal line representing the Desired Wire Feed
Speed. (See Figure B.1a arrow for 375 in/min.)
3. Select the diagonal line representing the Arc
Volts. (See Figure B.1a for 29 volts.)
4. Determine the vertical line representing the CC
representing the CC Wire Feed Speed setting
where the above two lines cross. (See Figure
B.1a arrow line for 450.) Set the LN25™ Pro
wire feed speed knob to this value.
CC WFS dial setting = desired WFS x 35

CONSTANT CURRENT WIRE WELDING
(See Figure B.2)
Most semiautomatic welding processes perform better
using constant voltage power sources.
Welding codes usually do not address the power
source selection or specifically, whether the welding
process is to be operated in the constant voltage or
constant current mode. Instead, codes typically specify limitations on the current, voltage, heat input and
preheat temperature based on the material to be
welded. The intention is to assure that proper weld
material properties will develop.
Welding is sometimes performed using constant current power sources. The operation can be more convenient because it may allow the use of an existing
stick (SMAW) power source and the power source
can be placed at a distant location without any provision for adjusting the output settings.
For constant current operation, the power source is
set to deliver the specified current. The power source
regulates this current regardless of changes in the
welding circuit, including cable length, electrode diameter, wire feed speed, contact tip to work distance,
etc.
If the contact tip to work distance is properly maintained, a satisfactory operating voltage range may be
achieved, and a sound weld may result. However,
when a welder uses a longer contact tip to work distance, an arc-sensing wire feeder compensates by
increasing the wire feed speed to regulate the voltage.
Even if the voltage and current remain unchanged, the
increased wire feed speed may result in a deposition
rate well beyond the specified range of the electrode.
Under these conditions, the specified weld metal properties may not be achieved.
Constant voltage power sources deliver large current
surges to stabilize the arc when the electrode is shorted or the arc length is very short. However, a constant
current power source does not provide such a
response to stabilize the arc. It may be difficult to
achieve required weld metal properties, or to achieve
the required quality of welds needed to pass nondestructive tests, when such welds are made under constant current operation.
For these reasons, Lincoln Electric does NOT
mend constant current semiautomatic welding for
applications which need to meet specified weld metal
chemical or mechanical property requirements or weld
quality requirements.
recom-
Changes in the wire feed speed (WFS) or contact tip
to work distance (CTWD) affect the arc voltage when
constant current power sources are used. Lowering
the wire feed speed raises the voltage, raising the
wire feed speed lowers the voltage. Lengthening the
contact tip to work distance raises the voltage, shortening the contact tip to work distance lowers the voltage.

Because the wire feeder is powered by the arc voltage, the full range of wire feed speed may not be
available at low voltages. While welding, the display
will show actual wire feed speed. If the actual WFS is
less than set WFS, then the arc voltage may be too
low for procedure.
Always turn power off at the welding power source
before moving the work sense lead.

INTERNAL CONTROLS DESCRIPTION
(See Figure B.4)
1. 2 STEP - TRIGGER
INTERLOCK SWITCH
The 2 Step - Trigger Interlock
switch changes the function of the
gun trigger. 2 Step trigger operation turns welding on and off in
direct response to the trigger.
Trigger Interlock operation allows
welding to continue when the trigger is released for comfort on long welds.
Place the toggle switch in the DOWN position for 2
Step operation or in the UP position for Trigger
Interlock operation.
2 Step Trigger
2 Step trigger operation is the most common. When
the gun trigger is pulled, the welding power source
energizes the electrode output and the wire feeder
feeds wire for welding. The power source and wire
feeder continue welding until the trigger is released.
Trigger Interlock
Trigger Interlock operation provides for operator comfort when making long welds. When the gun trigger is
first pulled, the welding power source energizes the
output and the wire feeder feeds wire for welding.
The gun trigger is then released while the weld is
made. To stop welding, the gun trigger is pulled
again, and when it is released the welding power
source output turns off and the wire feeder stops feeding wire.
2. CV/CC SWITCH
The CV/CC switch sets the wire
feed speed control method for the
wire feeder.
CC
In the CV position, the wire feed
speed remains constant during
welding. A steady arc voltage is
regulated by the power source by
adjusting the arc current.
CV
3. PRESSURE ARM
(See Installation Section)
4. OPTIONAL TIMER KIT
The optional Timer Kit provides control of preflow
time, burnback, and postflow time.
5. SPOOL RETAINER
To release the spool retainer, squeeze the metal bar
inwards. When securing the spool, verify the spool
retainer is fully seated in place in one of the three
grooves of the spindle.
6. SPOOL BRAKE
Adjust the spool brake to provide enough friction to
stop wire overrun. Excessive brake force may cause
motor thermal overloads or welding problems.

(See Installation Section)
9. COLD FEED PUSHBUTTON
When cold feeding, the wire drive
will feed electrode but neither the
power source nor the gas solenoid
will be energized. Adjust the
speed of cold feeding by rotating
the WFS knob. Cold feeding, or
"cold inching" the electrode is useful for threading the electrode
through the gun.
In the CC position, the wire feed
speed varies during welding. The
arc length is maintained by changing the wire feed speed.

OPERATION
1. GAS PURGE PUSHBUTTON
(See Figure B.5)
The gas solenoid valve will energize but neither the
power source output nor the drive motor will be turned
on. The Gas Purge switch is useful for setting the
proper flow rate of shielding gas. Flow meters should
always be adjusted while the shielding gas is flowing.
2. FLOW METER
(See Figure B.5)
The flowmeter shows the flow rate of shielding gas
and has a valve to adjust the flow. The flow meter is
scaled for CO
the ball indicates the flow rate of shielding gas.
Adjust the flow rate while depressing the GAS
PURGE switch by turning the valve at the bottom of
the meter. Most weld procedures require 25-40 scfh
(11.8 - 18.9 lpm) for sufficient shielding gas coverage.
Gun angle, nozzle diameter, joint configuration and
wind conditions may effect the amount of shielding
gas required.

When using a wire feeder with
a flow meter, adjust the regulator at the shield gas bottle or
supply to a flow rate that is
higher than the flow rate indicated on the feeder flow
meter. Note that most regulators are calibrated based upon
having low restrictions on the
outlet. The valve on the feeder
flow meter creates a high
restriction and may cause
errors in the readings at the
supply regulator. Set the gas
flow rate using the feeder flow
