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

heir removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when

t
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.

Safety 02 of 04 - 06/15/2016

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

f physical contact with work and ground.

o

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 hardfacing

(see instructions on container or SDS) 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 unless exposure
assessments indicate otherwise. In confined
spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a
respirator may also 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

cause
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
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer’s safety
practices. SDS forms are available from your welding
distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

Safety 03 of 04 - 06/15/2016

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

rom starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot

f
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 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,

tc. should be suitable for the application and

e
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, 14501 George Carter Way
Chantilly, VA 20151.

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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

WARNING

• Do not touch electrically live parts
such as output terminals or internal

iring

w

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

The K126 Innershield Pro gun and cable assemblies
have been designed specification for welding with mild
steel FCAW-S (self-shielded flux cored) processes.
The K126 Pro product is designed for extended life
and improved wire feeding in heavy duty welding
applications.

A-3

The K126 Innershield Pro has stainless steel jacketed
goosenecks for extended life. The goosenecks are

imilar in structure to a MIG gun gooseneck. A

s
copper tube is used for the conductor and a stainless
steel tube is used for the outer jacketing, while a
Teflon tube acts as an insulator between the copper
and steel. The replaceable spring liner extends

hrough the gooseneck, so that the wire is

t
continuously supported throughout the gun.

The K126 Innershield Pro gun utilizes a replaceable
connector assembly at the feeder end of the gun so
that the gun can be easily used with any feeder.
These connectors are the same K466/K613 kits used
with the Magnum MIG gun product line.

The K126 Innershield Pro products use a cable with a
core made from flat wound spring steel. The copper
conductors which transmit welding current are
wrapped around the spring core. Four #20 insulated
leads are wrapped along with the copper conductors
for use in the gun trigger circuit. The cable jacketing
is made from a cross linked polymer which provides
exceptional heat resistance and fatigue life.

A round wound spring steel liner is then placed inside
the spring core of the cable to contain the wire while it
is being transported to the welding arc. This liner is
replaceable so that it can be sized correctly for the
welding wire being used, and it can be removed and
replaced with a new liner as it wears out. Both of
these features improve the feeding of the wire through
the gun.

MAKING A WELD

WARNING

When using an open arc process, it is necessary
to use eye, head, and body protection.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts
such as output terminals or
internal wiring.

• Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.

• Always wear dry insulating gloves.

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

1. Check that the welding power source is on.

2. Position electrode over joint. End of the electrode
should be slightly off the work.

3. Lower welding helmet, close gun trigger, and begin
welding. Hold the gun so the contact tip to work
distance gives the correct electrical stick out as
required for the procedure being used.

4. To stop welding, release the gun trigger and then
pull the gun away from the work after the arc goes
out.

AVOIDING WIRE FEEDING
PROBLEMS

Wire feeding problems can be avoided by observing the
following gun handling procedures:

1. Do not kink or pull cable around sharp corners.

2. Keep the electrode cable as straight as possible
when welding or loading electrode through cable.

3. Avoid wrapping excess cable around handle or
front of wire feeder.

FUMES AND GASES can be
dangerous.

• Keep your head out of fumes.

• Use ventilation or exhaust to
remove fumes from breathing zone.

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

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

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or
explosion.

• Keep flammable material away.

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

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

ARCRAYS can burn.

• Wear eye, ear and body protection.

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

Only qualified personnel should operate this
equipment.

4. Do not allow dolly wheels or trucks to run over
cables.

5. Keep cable clean by following maintenance instruc­tions.

6. Use only clean, rust-free electrode. The Lincoln
