Semiautomatic Wire Feeders
SEMIAUTOMATIC WIRE FEEDERS
Output
he LN-8 and LN-9 are semiautomatic wire feeders providing
T
dependable performance and reliable operation, making them ideal for
shop or field operations. For precise wire feeding and quality welds,
the LN-8 and LN-9 feature controlled wire feed speed and voltage
during starting for clean, positive starts and reduced stubbing,
skipping and spatter.
Solid state control compensates for wire drag and input line variations
o maintain accurate wire feed speed. These wire feeders are easy to
t
use with a quick release gun and cable connection for easy set up,
and large wire feed and voltage control knobs that are easy to adjust
with gloved hands.

Advantage Lincoln
• Completely enclosed case protects the heavy duty wire drive
mechanism from damage, yet allows easy access to drive rolls.
• Rugged and durable design recognized throughout the industry for its
long life and years of trouble-free wire feeding.
• Solid state control compensates for wire drag and input line
variations to maintain accurate wire feed speed.

• Standard digital meter can be set to read volts, inches or
meters/minute on the LN-9.
• Control of wire feed speed and voltage at the wire feeder eliminates
the need to return to the power source to adjust procedures.
• Three-year warranty on parts and labor. Two-year extended warranty
available in the U.S.
