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.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, coversand devices in posi-

tion 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.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 weld-

ing 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.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.

SAFETY

WELDING 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.

materials from welding can easily go through 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
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the
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.

Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil

6.f.
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.

Remember that welding sparks and hot

though

they have

Preparation

for Welding and Cutting of

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.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

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 suiv-
antes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc

1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à l’électrode 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 s’isoler 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 l’eau 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-é
soudage.

lectrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de

zones où l’on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie 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 d’incendie.

8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de
la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place la
masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres 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 d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils 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
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc 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
le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA Standard
W 117.2-1974.

, voir

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 n’importe quelle partie du
corps.

3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel, donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié ainsi

qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayon­nement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau

de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de l‘arc.

c. Protéger l’ autre personnel travaillant à proximité au

soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont é mises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, 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

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
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branchéà une
bonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debrancher
à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûretéà leur place.

ELECTRICAL

K898 and K912 series of racks are designed to oper­ate any combination of single phase or three phase
power sources, on 208V, 230V, 460V or 575V opera­tion. The main disconnect switch is the limiting factor
for maximum input power to the rack, which is 200
amps of service. K898 and K912 series of racks are
designed for the domestic market. For proper fusing
of racks and products supported see above.

The products that may be placed into the racks are
listed with approximate weights.

INVERTEC RACKS

LIMITATIONS

When Steel Racks (8) are used on single phase low
voltage (208/230V) only, the Invertec V300-PRO
power sources have reduced output capability at high
duty cycles and maximum output currents. The maxi­mum number of power sources that can be used at
one time for the most common welding applications is
5 - 6. Exceeding this number may cause the main
input fuses to open.

INVERTEC RACKS

OPERATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

K898 Series Aluminum Racks (4)

The K898 series of Invertec racks are compact power
source racks. Up to four or eight power sources can
be powered from a single external power supply
source. K898 series of racks accommodates the
Lincoln family of portable Invertec power sources and
portable Pro-Cut plasma cutters.

The frame is designed with 1/8” wall tubular aluminum
for a rugged lightweight construction. The lightweight
design makes the rack ideal where the number of
power sources required for the job fluctuates and
where portability is important.

The Aluminum Rack (4) is a versatile rack which may
be easily expanded or reduced to meet the require­ments on the job site.

K898 Series Aluminum Racks (4)

K912 Series Steel Rack (8)

The steel racks are economically designed for job
sites where 5 to 8 machines need to be available on
demand. with the optional disconnect and power
pack, electrical hookups and versatility are greatly
enhanced. The steel racks (8) are designed for job
sites where easy portability is not a major concern.
K912 series of racks accommodates the Lincoln fami­ly of portable Invertec power sources and portable
Pro-Cut plasma cutters.
