BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
SAFETY
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
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 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.
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.
3
SAFETY
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 skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free 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
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.
between the
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 ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep 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 vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
3.j. Also see It ems 6.c. and 8.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.f. Also see item 1.b.

cause
SAFETY
WELDING AND CUTTING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding
parks and hot materials from welding can easily go through
s small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see address above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.
A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other elec­trically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “ Standard for Fire Prevention During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma 022690-9101.
6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.

SAFETY
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.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soud 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.
e pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
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.
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.
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.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR 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.

MACHINE GROUNDING
Because a portable engine driven welder or generator creates its own power, it is not necessary to connect its frame to an earth ground, unless the machine is connected to premises wiring (your home, shop, etc.)
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment to which an engine driven welder supplies power must:
1. Be grounded to the frame of the welder using a grounded type plug,
or
2. Be double insulated.
When a welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its frame must be securely connected to the metal frame of the vehicle.
Where an engine driven welder is connected to premises wiring such as that in your home or shop, its frame must be connected for the system earth ground. See further connection instructions in the section entitled “Standby Power Connections” as well as the article on grounding in the latest U.S. National Electrical Code and the local code.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
• Do not operate with doors open or guards off.
• Stop engine before servicing.
• Keep away from moving parts.
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this equipment.
------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should be connect­ed with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid earth ground such as a metal water pipe going into the ground for at least 10 feet and having no insulated joints or to the metal framework of a building which has been effectively grounded. The U.S. National Electrical Code lists a number of alternate means of grounding electrical equipment. A machine grounding stud marked with the symbol is provided on the Generator Mount of the welder.

WIRE FEED MODULE™
OPERATION
DESIGN FEATURES
• Easy access to the controls located on the welder control panel.
• Greatly enhanced welding arc performance. Now a wider range of wire electrodes and processes are supported by this device.
• Improved arc starting characteristics.
• Low spatter MIG welding with CO
2
Gas.
• Built into the WFM is a power contactor that pro­vides a “COLD” electrode when the gun trigger is released.
• Simplified field installation process. All control wiring connections between the welder, the control panel, and the WFM are easily made with in-line plug type connections.
• Includes thermostatic protection to protect the welder from over current and over temperature.
RECOMMENDED WIRE FEEDERS AND ACCESSORIES
The WFM is designed to work with the complete family of LN-7, LN-25, and LN-23P wire feeders.
When the WFM is in the “CV” mode, the maximum auxiliary power will be reduced by 25%. To obtain maximum auxiliary output, place the CC/CV switch in the CC position.
If the current rating of the welder is exceeded, a thermostat will reduce the output voltage to approximately 5 volts. The thermo­stat will reset automatically as the machine cools. If the thermo-
stat trips, lower the wire feed speed and output voltage or reduce Duty Cycle.
CONTROLS
The output voltage is set with the voltage control dial mounted on the control panel. Set the “Current Range Selector" to the “190­120” position for optimum welding characteristics. Changing the "Current Range Selector” affects arc characteristics. Setting the “Current Range Selector” one position to the right of the "190­120” position will give a softer arc. If this switch is placed one position to the left from the "190-120” set point, the machine will produce a crisp arc characteristic. The setting of the “Fine Current Adjustment" has no effect on the operation in “CV” mode.
For Coarse Current Control on the SAE-300 see operator manual.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
Please refer to the connection diagram in the back of this manual for details.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
The output terminals are energized when the engine is running. The CV output will be de-ener­gized only if WFM mode switch is in remote posi­tion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
WIRE FEED MODULE OPERATION
OUTPUT
For constant voltage welding, place the CC/CV mode switch in the CV position. Connect the wire feeder to the CV negative output terminal and connect the work to the positive standard output ter­minal. For electrode positive, reverse the output leads. The nega­tive standard output terminal is not used for CV welding of either polarity. Refer to diagrams section to determine the correct con­nection to the remote control receptacle.

1. P.C. Board Troubleshooting Procedures
Perform the following checks before replacing the P.C. Board.
1. Remove the cover to the Wire Feed Module box located on the right side of the machine. With the engine run­ning the green and red LED on the P.C. Board must be glowing. If not, check the following:
a) Check for loose connections in the P.C. Board plugs,
pay close attention to J3.
b) With machine running at high idle, check the follow-
ing voltages accessible at P.C. Board plug J3:
Lead Number
610 - 600 120 + 13/-10 Volts DC
If these voltages are not present, check the wiring con­nections between the engine welder and the Wire Feed Module. If wiring is good, then refer to the “Quick Check Procedure for Generator Only”. If generator is operating properly, refer to “Procedure for Replacing P.C. Boards”.
2. Procedures for Replacing P.C. Boards
Before replacing a P.C. Board which is suspected of being defec­tive, visually inspect the P.C. Board in question for any electrical or mechanical damage to any of its components and conductors on the back of the board.
1. If there is no new one and see if this remedies the problem. If the problem is remedied, reinstall the old if the problem still exists. If it does no longer exist the old P.C. Board:
a) Check the P.C. Board harness connector pins for
corrosion, contamination, or looseness.
b) Check leads in the plug harness for loose or inter-
mittent connection.
2. If P.C. Board is visibly damaged electrically possibly subjecting the new P.C. Board to the same cause of failure, check for possible shorts, opens, or grounds caused by:
visible damage to the P.C. Board, install a
Voltage
P.C. Board to see

a) Frayed or pinched lead insulation.
b) Poor lead termination, such as a poor contact or a
short to adjacent connection or surface.
c) Shorted or open leads, or other external leads.
d) Foreign matter or interference behind the P.C.
Boards.
3. If P.C. Board is visibly damaged mechanically, inspect for cause then remedy before installing a replacement P.C. Board.
If there is damage to the P.C. Board or if replacing P.C. Board corrects problem, return it to the local Lincoln Electric Field Service Shop.
3. Output Voltage
Constant Voltage Mode -- The open circuit voltage in CV mode is 7-55 volts DC. If any other conditions exist, refer to the Troubleshooting Chart.
4. Procedure for Checking the Cold Tip Contactor (CR4)
1. If there is no output during the initial start up of the
machine, check to see if the “Local/Remote” switch is in “LOCAL”, if so, switch to “REMOTE” and then back to “LOCAL” and check for output voltage. If switch is in “Remote” switch to the “LOCAL” position and check for output voltage.
2. Open side panel of wire feed module. With
machine running, verify the P.C. Board is working by checking to see if the green and red LED’s are on. If LED’s are not on, see P.C. Board Troubleshooting Procedures. If the LED’s are on, check the voltage between the top left stud of the cold tip contactor (CR4) and the positive output stud. The voltage should measure between 7 and 55 volts DC depending on the position of the CV voltage control setting. Try adjusting the voltage control to see if this voltage changes. If voltage is present, go to step 3. If no voltage is present, check for loose cable or wiring connections. If voltage is still not present, refer to Troubleshooting Chart.
CAUTION
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your Local Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.

3. Check to see that leads 2 and 4 are connected. Put a voltmeter across these leads and the meter should read close to zero volts. If voltage reads approximately 15 volts, then the trigger circuit (leads 2-4) is open. Check the wiring from the WFM control box to the WFM control panel for loose or broken connections. Turn machine off and check the operation of the “LOCAL/REMOTE” switch by connecting an ohmmeter across leads 2 and 4 at the switch with switch positioned in “LOCAL” mode, if resistance is high or open replace the switch.
4. Check for coil voltage across leads 633 and 634 at P2 plug to the P.C. Board. If voltage is present, check for loose or broken leads from the plug to the contactor coil. If connections are good and voltage correct, replace contactor CR4.
5. If no voltage is present at CR4 contactor coil, see Procedure for Replacing P.C. Boards.
5. Procedure for Checking the Capacitor Bank Contactor (CR3)
1. Verify machine is in CV (wire) mode. Measure volt­age across leads 630 and 631 at the contactor. The voltage should be approximately 120 +/- 15V DC with engine set on high idle. If voltage is not present, go to step 3 of this procedure.
4. With an ohmmeter on X1K, connect it to lead 76A and 77A on S2. Rotate the voltage control poten­tiometer. The resistance reading should be from approximately zero to 10K ohms. Check the resis­tance reading between lead 75 on potentiometer and 77A on switch S2. The reading must be 10K ohms. No reading will indicate an open poten­tiometer and a low reading will indicate a shorted or partially shorted potentiometer; in either case, replace. Reconnect P.C. Board plug P2.
7. Remote Control Check
1. The remote control connector pin assignments are: pin G-75A, pin F-76B, pin E-77B. Make sure remote control connections are tight and check for any physical damage to the control cable. Connect an ohmmeter across lead 75 and 76B on switch S2. With S2 in remote mode, rotate the poten­tiometer in the remote control. The resistance reading should vary from zero to 10K ohms. Repeat with ohmmeter across 77B and 76B with the same results. Connect an ohmmeter across 75 and 77B. The reading should be 10K ohms. If an open or short is measured replace the potentiome­ter.
2. If the proper voltage is present at leads 630 - 631, measure the voltage between L2 terminal and ter­minal opposite L2. If the voltage is equal to the output voltage across the positive and negative output terminals, replace the contactor CR3.
3. If the proper voltage is not present at leads 630 ­631, check the wiring to CR3 coil for loose or bro­ken connections. If connections are good, see Procedure for Replacing P.C. Boards.
6. Checking Voltage Control Potentiometer on Machine
1. Turn machine off.
2. Remove the control panel screws and open the front cover. Turn the “LOCAL/REMOTE” switch (S2) to “REMOTE”.
3. Disconnect P.C. Board harness plug P2 from the P.C. Board.
CAUTION
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your Local Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.

8. Quick Check Procedure for Generator Only
1. Try running the machine with the mode switch on STICK (CC mode), and check output at CC+ and CC- studs. If a voltage of 45 to 100 volts DC is measured, the generator is working properly. If the generator is working properly, the problem exists in the Wire Feed Module. Refer to Troubleshooting chart.
2. If there is no generator output in step 1, proceed with the following:
a) If jumper plug P10 is available, a quick check
can be performed to see if the generator is operating properly. Disconnect P5 and connect P10. When P10 is connected, the machine will only run in Stick (CC mode). If generator volt­age is present between CC+ and CC- studs, then the generator is operating properly.
b) The measured voltage should be between 43-
100 volts DC. This level may be higher when the machine is cold. If the generator is operat­ing properly, disconnect P10 and reconnect P5. Refer to Wire Feed Module Troubleshooting chart.
TROUBLESHOOTING
3. If the generator is not working with the jumper plug P10, then refer to the engine welder Troubleshooting chart.
