The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

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 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.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.

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 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 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.

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.

vapors

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturerʼs instructions for this

equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

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

Remember that welding sparks and hot 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.

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.

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.

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 LES MACHINES À SOUDER À

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.

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.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK can kill.

• Have an electrician install and service this equipment.

• Turn the input power off at the fuse box before working on equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

The K478 and K479 Magnum® FM guns are factory installed with a Fast-Mate (European style) wire feeder connector for “all-in-one” GMAW feeder connection. A single connector attaches welding current, wire liner, shielding gas, and trigger control leads to the feeder. Optional Magnum® Fast-Mate Adapters allow the use of these guns with Lincoln and competative wire feeders. See the Parts Section “Chart E” for information on which Fast-Mate Adapter Kit to use with various equipment.

NOTE: These guns are shipped with factory installed liner. To change the liner in these models, see the section on liner removal instructions in the Maintenance section.

CONTACT TIP AND GAS NOZZLE INSTALLATION

a) Choose the correct size contact tip for the electrode

being used (wire size is stenciled on the side of the contact tip) and screw it snugly into the gas diffuser.

b) Be sure the nozzle insulator is fully screwed onto

the gun tube and does not block the gas holes in the diffuser.

NOTE: Insulator is not required when using the optional fixed gas nozzles.

Choose the gas nozzle as appropriate for the GMAW process to be used. Typically, the contact tip end should be flush to .12” (3 mm) extended for the short-circuiting transfer process and .12” (3 mm) recessed for spray transfer and for the Outershield (FCAW) process.

CONNECTION TO FAST-MATE COMPATIBLE FEEDERS

FM model gun cable assemblies will connect easily to any feeder equipped with a European style gun connector or Lincoln or competative wire feeder equipped with the proper K489 Fast-Mate Adapter Kit. See the Parts Section “Chart E” for information on which FastMate Adapter Kit to use with various equipment.

1) Check that the feeder outgoing guide, as well as the drive roll, are appropriate for the electrode size being used. When using a Fast-Mate Adapter Kit, be certain the adapter guide tube is also properly sized.

2) Align and fully engage the brass connector end of the gun cable into the mating connector on the outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable connection by snugging the Fast-Mate connector collar nut.

INSTALLATION OF THE K489-[ ] FAST-MATE™ ADAPTER KITS

See “Chart E” in the PARTS section for information on which Fast-Mate Adapter Kit to use with various equipment.

Refer to the installation instructions that were sent with the kit for detailed installation instructions.

c) Slip the appropriate gas nozzle onto the nozzle

insulator. Adjustable gas nozzles are available with a .62” (15.9 mm) or .50” (12.7 mm) I.D., and in both standard (flush) and recessed design, for the 300 and 400 amp guns. The proper nozzle should be selected based on the welding application. Different length fixed nozzles are also available to fit 300 and 400 amp gun tubes to allow either spray or short-circuiting transfer welding.

MAKING A WELD

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.

• Insulate yourself from work and ground.

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.

c) Lower welding helmet, close gun trigger, and begin

welding. Hold the gun so the contact tip to work distance gives the correct electrical stickout as required for the procedure being used.

d) To stop welding, release the gun trigger and then

pull the gun away from the work after the arc goes out. Follow wire feeder instruction manual if using a trigger interlock circuit.

AVOIDING WIRE FEEDING PROBLEMS

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

a) Do not kink or pull the cable around sharp corners.

b) Keep the electrode cable as straight as possible

when welding or loading electrode through the cable.

c) Avoid wrapping excess cable around the handle or

front of the wire feeder especially on longer 20 and 25 foot (6.0 and 7.5 m) length guns.

d) Do not allow dolly wheels or trucks to run over the

cables.

e) Keep the cable clean by following the maintenance

instructions.

f) Use only clean, rust-free electrode. All the recom-

mended Lincoln electrodes have the proper surface lubrication.

g) Replace the contact tip when the arc starts to

become unstable or the contact tip end is fused or deformed.

ARC RAYS can burn.

• Wear eye, ear and body protection.

a) Check that the welding power source is on and that

the shielding gas supply is set for the proper flow rate.

b) Position electrode over joint. End of the electrode

should be slightly off the work.

CABLE REPAIR

The Magnum® 300 FM and Magnum® 400 FM guns feature the use of repairable cable connectors. If the cable ever gets severely damaged, it may be cut shorter and repaired by the user. Repair cables as follows:

Gun Tube End Repair (K478 and K479) (Requires 2 #S19492-2 Terminals)

a) Remove the cable liner per “Removal Instructions

for Magnum® Liners”.

b) Remove the gun tube per “Gun Tubes and

Nozzles“.

c) Remove three #6 screws from the gun handle, sep-

arate the two halves, and remove the cable from the handle along with the trigger assembly.

d) Remove the gun tube connector from the cable by

unscrewing the connector nut from the gun tube connector. If the cable inner tube is difficult to remove from the connector assembly, carefully slit it lengthwise with a knife up to the brass connector.

e) Uncouple the strain relief by pushing its outer hous-

ing toward the middle of the cable. Move the strain relief and the cable boot toward the middle of the cable, past the damaged section.

NOTE: For best results, insert a rod through the connector and into the core of the cable approximately 5.00” (127 mm) when pushing the connector tube into the cable core tube. A .219”/.240” (5.6-6.1 mm) diameter rod is required for 300 and 400 amp cables. To tighten, hold the connector in place while turning the nut, then remove the rod from the core. This procedure assures the inner core does not kink while assembling or tightening.

h) Pull the cut-off lead terminals off the trigger assem-

bly and connect the replacement control lead terminals.

j) Position the cable boot and the strain relief on the

cable so it fits in the cable handle cavity and lock the strain relief in place by pushing the two halves together.

k) Assemble the cable in the left side of the gun han-

dle. Assemble the trigger into the proper handle cavity. Assemble the right side of the gun handle and tighten the three screws that hold the handle together. Refer to Figure E.4.

l) Install the gun tube per “Gun Tubes and Nozzles“.

m) Install and trim the liner per “Liner Installation and

Trimming Instructions”.

f) Cut off the damaged section of the cable and strip

off the outer jacket as shown in Figure E.2. Be careful not to cut the insulation on the control wires while stripping the jacket. Strip the red and white control leads 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) from the end and crimp a new S19492-2 terminal to each lead.

NOTE: The cable contains three control leads. Any two control leads can be used, provided the two colors used are the same at both ends. The extra lead is a spare that can be used if one of the other leads breaks.

g) Check that the cable boot and both halves of the

strain relief are on the cable. Slip the connector nut over the copper strands with the thread end out. Orient the gun tube connector so the machined flat is on the same side of the cable as the red and white control leads. Assemble the gun tube connector to the cable by forcing the steel tube of the connector into the inside diameter of the cable inner tube until the copper strands are butted against the gun tube connector shoulder. Keeping the copper strands against the shoulder, pull the connector nut over the copper strands, engage the gun tube connector threads, and tighten in place. Refer to Figure E.3.

MAGNUM® FAST-MATE™

e) Remove the incoming connector from the cable by

unscrewing the connector nut from the incoming connector. If the cable inner tube is difficult to remove from the connector assembly, carefully slit it lengthwise with a knife up to the brass connector.

f) Cut the cable control wires where they meet the

cable jacket or else unsolder the connection where they connect to the terminal lead assembly. If you cut the wires, strip the cut end 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) from the end.

g) Cut off the damaged section of cable and strip off

the outer jacket as shown in Figure E.2. Be careful not to cut the insulation on the control wires while stripping the jacket. Strip the red and white control leads 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) from the end.

h) Check that the cable boot, boot nut, cable handle,

strain relief housing and collar nut are on the cable. Slip the connector nut over the copper strands with the threaded end out. Orient the connector assembly so the red and white control leads will have the straightest possible routings to the sockets on the back side of the connector. Assemble the incoming connector to the cable by forcing the steel tube of the connector into the inside diameter of the cable inner tube until the copper strands are butted against the incoming connector shoulder. Keeping the copper strands against the shoulder, pull the connector nut over the copper strands, engage the incoming connector threads, and tighten in place. Refer to Figure E.3.

j) Solder the terminal lead assemblies from step (f) to

the control leads stripped in step (g). Insulate both soldered connections using either heat shrink tubing or electrical tape.

k) Fully insert the two control lead pins into the sock-

ets on the incoming connector. Tape the leads in place in the necked down area of the connector. Keeping the leads as close to the connector and nut as possible, tape the insulated, soldered connections and the spare lead to the cable in the area between the cable jacket and connector nut. This must be done neatly and kept as low as possible or the cable handle will not slide over this area.

l) Position the strain relief to the dimension shown in

Figure E.5 and secure with the strain relief housing. On older cables install the cable clamp on the cable jacket within 1/8” (3.2 mm) from the end of the jacket and tighten.

m) Slide the collar nut and cable handle over the con-

nection and into place. Anchor the cable handle with the screw removed in step (c). Slide the boot and boot nut into place and tighten.

NOTE: If the cable handle becomes difficult to slide
