This statement appears where the information must be followed
to avoid minor personal injury or damage to this equipment.

KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES.

DON’T get too close to the arc.
Use corrective lenses if necessary
to stay a reasonable distance
away from the arc.

READ and obey the Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) and the warning label
that appears on all containers of
welding materials.

USE ENOUGH VENTILATION or
exhaust at the arc, or both, to
keep the fumes and gases from
your breathing zone and the general area.

IN A LARGE ROOM OR OUTDOORS, natural ventilation may be
adequate if you keep your head out of the fumes (See below).

USE NATURAL DRAFTS or fans to keep the fumes away
from your face.

If you de velop unusual symptoms, see your supervisor.
Perhaps the welding atmosphere and ventilation system
should be checked.

WEAR CORRECT EYE, EAR &
BODY PROTECTION

BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION,
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE
PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

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.

SAFETY

Safety 02 of 04 - 5/16/2018

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 It ems 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

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.

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

Safety 03 of 04 - 5/16/2018

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
from starting a fire. 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 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.

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.

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, 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.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ

SAFETY

iv

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

choice depends on the type of base metals and the desired
characteristics of the weldment, such as ductility and strength,
corrosion resistance, sustained service temperature, and anodic
treatment color matching. In addition, several wire sizes are
available, and the choice here will depend upon several fac­tors, including base metal thickness and the arc transfer process

3. Reinstall the positioning nut securely, then trim rest of liner
flush with positioning nut, accordingly to fit up to drive rolls.

Installing Barrel Liner

1. Unscrew barrel inlet guide

2. Unscrew barrel liner from inlet guide

3. Reverse procedure with new liner. Be sure to install liner with
tapered end toward contact tip, and liner is fully threaded into
inlet guide.

NOTE: When feeding new wire through conduit liner, dull any sharp

edges from end of wire.

Drive Roll Groove Selection

The drive rolls have two grooves. A wider groove for feeding
3/64” (1.2mm) wire and a narrow groove for feeding .035”
(0.9mm) wire to accommodate changes in the wire size used.
Changing between the grooves simply requires reversing the
drive roll.

A. Drive Roll Orientation

1. Drive rolls are scribed with wire groove size. For appropri­ate groove orientation, ensure desired size callout is facing

PANTHER™Push Pull Gun - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Making A Weld

1. Check that the push-pull gun power, control, and gas connec­tions are correct for the power source being used. Check that
the gas supply is turned on. Check wire push-pull for an ade­quate supply of wire.

2. See "Procedure Settings", below for wire feed speed and
voltage settings. Set these controls depending on the weld­ing wire and base metal thickness being used.

3. Connect work clamp to metal being welded. Work clamp must
make good electrical contact to the workpiece. The workpiece
must also be grounded as stated in "Arc Welding Safety
Precautions".

4. Connect power to welder and turn "ON".

5. Prepare to purge gas line by first releasing wire drive. Push
wire drive release lever to the UP position, to avoid feeding
wire.

WARNING: Gun body and contact tip become

electrically energized when gun trigger is pressed and

remain so for several seconds after

trigger is released.

6. Press and hold gun trigger for about 5 seconds to purge gas
line. If adjustable regulator or metering valve is installed, adjust
gas flow per, "Setting Gas Flow Rate".

7. Re-engage wire drive by pushing release lever to down posi­tion to feed wire.

8. Momentarily squeeze trigger and verify that wire feeds proper­ly. Trim wire to approximately 1/4" (6 mm) from end of contact
tip.

WARNING: When using an open arc process, it is

necesary to use correct eye, ear, head,

and body protection.

9. Position gun over joint at 10° pushing angle. End of wire may
be lightly touching the work.

10. Lower welding helmet, close gun trigger, and begin welding.
Hold the gun so that the contact tip to work distance is about
1/2 inch (13 mm).

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

12. When no more welding is to be done, close valve on gas cylin­der, momentarily operate trigger to release gas pressure in
line and turn off power source.

13. Note that clogged tips can often be salvaged by peeling away
melted wire.
