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.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.

____________________________________________________

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

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.

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.

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 below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
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.

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.

5.b.

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.c. 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.

5.d. 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.

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

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 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-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
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,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.

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 émises 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.

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 branché à
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 sûreté à leur
place.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This arc welding smoke exhaust unit will provide the
vacuum needed for two X-Tractor or Flux-Cored Fume
guns, collect visible particles that enter and discharge
the filtered air. This vacuum does not filter out
gases. The X-Tractor 2G retains 2.9 cubic feet of
smoke particles in a removable bin. This is the equiv­alent of the smoke generated by 2000 pounds of .120
NS-3M electrode.

The smoke is drawn into the cabinet and the filter
traps the smoke particles. The filter consists of 20
envelopes made of polyester sateen. A screen in the
envelope keeps the envelope sides from collapsing as
the filters load up with smoke. The filters are rated 98
to 99.7% efficient at 1 micron particle size and 90 to
98% efficient at .5 micron particle size. These values
apply to a filter that has been loaded several times.
The filter material will release the smoke particles
when the vacuum is off and the filters are bent back
and forth by a shaker bar.

The shaker bar is a simple lever that bends the filter
envelopes when rotated by a handle on the cabinet
side. The shaker bar access hole through the side of
the cabinet is sealed with an "O" ring.

A hinged door provides access to a rectangular stor­age bin located under the filters. The edges of the
door are lined with rubber to provide a vacuum seal
when the door is closed. The bin has a 2.9 cubic foot
capacity and can be easily removed from the cabinet.
Shed strips attached to the sides of the cabinet above
the bin direct smoke particles into the bin when the fil­ters are cleaned. Plastic bags made of .004 polyethyl­ene are used to line the bin. The bags are of special
construction to conform to the rectangular shape of
the bin. The bag is kept in place by draping the edges
of the bag over the sides of the bin.

An integral regenerative type vacuum motor is used to
provide the required vacuum.

Mounting holes are provided on the top of the cabinet
to fit the motor. A two-inch I.D. spring reinforced rub­ber elbow connects the vacuum motor inlet to the cab­inet. A muffler is attached to the vacuum motor outlet.
For single gun operation, a stopper is used to plug up
the second inlet. This stopper has an orifice in it to
provide additional air flow through the vacuum motor
so it doesn't overheat and shorten bearing life.

A box mounted on top of the cabinet contains the vac­uum motor controls. A magnetic starter is used to
connect the motor to the input power. A start and stop
pushbutton is connected to the starter to provide no
voltage release. A 75 VA transformer is used to
reduce the pushbutton voltage to 115 volts. The
starter is also connected to a protector located on the
motor winding to provide thermal protection for the
vacuum motor. All electrical connections are shown
on S14957 wiring diagram.

INSTALLATION

Locate unit in a clean dry place where there is free cir­culation of air. Have a qualified electrician connect
the input leads as shown on the instructions (S-

14960) located inside the control box. Voltage, fre­quency and phase of power source must be the same
as specified on the motor nameplate. The power lines
must be the proper size.

Install a disconnect switch and fuse the circuit with the
recommended lag type fuses. Use an input wire size
according to local requirements or use the following
table . The frame of the unit must be grounded.

and then connect the adapter to the open inlet fitting
on the back of the unit. When one gun is used, the
orifice in the stopper of second inlet tube must not be
covered. Failure to keep this orifice open will reduce
vacuum motor bearing life. If two guns are to be
used on the X-tractor 2G, remove stopper with orifice
from the second inlet fitting before attaching the gun
exhaust hose.

Note:When new units are first started, some visible
smoke may appear at the exhaust for about 15 min­utes of arc time. This should clear completely by the
end of that time.

FUMES AND GASES

can be dangerous.

•

Although the removal of the particulate
matter from welding smoke may reduce
the ventilation requirement, concentra­tions of the clear exhausted fumes and
gases may still be hazardous to health.
Avoid breathing concentrations of these
fumes and gases. Use adequate ventila­tion when welding. See ANSI Z49.1,
"Safety in Welding and Cutting", published
by the American Welding Society.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXHAUST EXTENSION

Some installations may require an exhaust extension
to couple the unit to a ventilating duct or to vent the
fumes outdoors. Attach an adequate exhaust exten­sion on the muffler outlet of the vacuum motor.

Single Gun Operation: To insure good smoke pickup,
back pressure at the muffler exhaust should be limited
to five inches of water. A 30-foot length of two inch
diameter exhaust hose will keep the back pressure
below five inches of water.

Two Gun Operation: To insure good smoke pickup,
back pressure at the muffler exhaust should be limited
to two inches of water. A 30-foot length of three inch
diameter exhaust hose will keep the back pressure
below two inches of water

The back pressure values given above should be
used as guidelines and the user may exceed these
values to suit his application and smoke removal
requirements. When noise is not objectionable, the
muffler may be removed to reduce overall back pres­sure.

• Although the removal of the particu­late matter from welding smoke may
reduce the ventilation requirement,
concentrations of the clear exhausted
fumes and gases may still be haz­ardous to health. Avoid breathing
concentrations of these fumes and
gases. Use adequate ventilation
when welding. See ANSI Z49.1,
"Safety in Welding and Cutting", pub­lished by the American Welding
Society.

The smoke particles shaken from the filter bag are
collected in a bin located under the filters. This bin
should be emptied after approximately 2,000 pounds
of NS-3M electrode is used. Actual storage capacity
of unit will depend on gun efficiency and type of elec­trode used. The bin should be emptied before it is
completely filled.

To gain access to the bin, turn off motor and open
door by loosening the four wing nuts. Slip the right
side wing nuts off door brace and door will hinge on
left side wing nut assemblies, permitting bin to slide
out. The bin should be lined with a plastic bag. (M­8041-19) for easy removal of collected smoke parti­cles. Close top of bag before removal from bin to pre­vent spilling of smoke dust. Two plastic bags are sent
with a new unit.

The filter bag assembly should last two years or
longer and only needs to be replaced if it becomes
damaged and leaks smoke or becomes restricted.

The Procedure Handbook of Arc Welding

With over 500,000 copies of previous editions published
since 1933, the Procedure Handbook is considered by many to
be the “Bible” of the arc welding industry.

This printing will go fast so don’t delay. Place your
order now using the coupon below.

The hardbound book contains over 750 pages of welding
information, techniques and procedures. Much of this material
has never been included in any other book.

A must for all welders, supervisors, engineers and
designers. Many welding instructors will want to use the book
as a reference for all students by taking advantage of the low
quantity discount prices which include shipping by
4th class parcel post.

$15.00 postage paid U.S.A. Mainland

How To Read Shop Drawings

The book contains the latest information and application
data on the American Welding Society Standard Welding
Symbols. Detailed discussion tells how engineers and
draftsmen use the “short-cut” language of symbols to pass
on assembly and welding information to shop personnel.

New Lessons in Arc Welding

Lessons, simply written, cover manipulatory techniques;
machine and electrode characteristics; related subjects,
such as distortion; and supplemental information on arc
welding applications, speeds and costs. Practice materials,
exercises, questions and answers are suggested for each
lesson.

528 pages, well illustrated, 6” x 9” size, bound in simulated,
gold embossed leather.
