BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
ELECTRIC SHOCK
can kill.
1.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.
1.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 workpieceor ground) use the
following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
1.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
1.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.
1.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
1.f.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
1.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
2.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
2.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.
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.b.
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 toform phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and
other irritating products.
ARC RAYS can burn.
2.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.
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
3.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
breathing zone. When welding with
fumes and gases away from the

SAFETYii
WELDING SPARKS can
cause fire or explosion.
4.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 or cutting can easily go through small
cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding or cutting near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily
available.
4.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.
4.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.
4.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).
4.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
4.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 or cutting area.
4.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.

FOR ENGINE
powered equipment.
7.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance
work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.
7.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame
welding or cutting 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.
8.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.
8.b. EMF fields may interfere withsome pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
8.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effects which are now not known.
8d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
8.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
8.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
8.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.
7.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.
7.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.
7.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.
7.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.
8.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
8.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
7.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the

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.
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.
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” CSAStandard
W 117.2-1974.
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.

1. For K291 and K404 cables, connect the end of
the control cable with the lugged leads to the
power source. If lead #21 is extended to work, do
not connect leads to terminal #21 on terminal
strip. Include any jumpers called for on the
connection diagram. Do not add any other
jumpers or connections.
WARNING
Never operate a Lincoln power source that has a
jumper from #2 to #4 on the terminal strip, or a
power source without a contactor, with this wire
feeder. To do so would defeat the purpose of the
grounding lead protector circuit and could result in
the overheating of the electrical ground circuit to
the wire feeder.
2. For constant voltage power sources with an
output contactor but no terminal strip or 14-pin
control receptacle, see Figure A.14. For constant
voltage power sources without an internal output
contactor, and requiring a K240 Contactor Kit,
see Figure A.13.
4. Referring to Figure A.1, route the end of the
electrode cable through the large hole in the back
panel of the LN-7 case. Connect the electrode
cable to the brass conductor block on the front of
the gearbox using the 1/2-13 x .75 bolt provided.
Be sure the cable is placed to allow easy
access and clearance for the idle roll arm
pressure adjustment and to allow the drive
roll section cover to close.

WORK CABLE
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (Table
A.2) between the proper output stud on the power
source and the work. Be sure the connection to the
work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact.
Poor work lead connections can result in the grounding
lead protector being activated.
Connect the control cable amphenol plug into the
mating 5-cavity receptacle on the front of the control
section below the nameplate.
If using the K489-1 Fast-Mate Adapter, install per the
S19389 instructions included with the kit.
FIGURE A.18 – GUN CABLE CONNECTIONS.
The LN-7 GMA can be used with several guns. In most
cases, Lincoln guns and cables are shipped
assembled, ready to weld. Use the gun and cable
assembly for the electrode type (solid, Outershield , or
Innershield) and electrode size to be used. Refer to the
Accessories Section for different gun types.
GUN CABLE CONNECTIONS
Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector on the
welding conductor cable through the large hole in the
front panel of the LN-7 GMA and into the brass
conductor block on the front of the gearbox. Refer to
Figure A.18. Make sure it is all the way in and tighten
the hand wheel. Keep this connection clean and bright.

INSTALLATION
WATER CONNECTIONS
(FOR WATER COOLED GUNS)
The LN-7 GMA must have a K527 Water Solenoid Kit
installed (see the Accessories Section). The K440-1
LN-7 GMA model already has a water solenoid
installed. Refer to Figure A.19 and perform the
following steps:
NOTE: If not using a Lincoln water cooler (such as the
K877-1), and if your water cooling device is not
designed for use with a waterline solenoid valve, you
may remove the solenoid and screw the male fitting
(after applying sealant) directly into the brass manifold
block.
FIGURE A.19 – WATER CONNECTIONS.
1. Using male 5/8-18 UNF left-hand thread fittings,
connect appropriate water hoses to the coolant
inlet and outlet on the back of the LN-7 GMA.
Connect the other ends of these hoses to the
appropriate ports on your water cooling units.
2. In the event the water line fittings on your water
cooled gun are incompatible with the female quick
connects on the front of the LN-7 GMA, male
quick connects are provided for installation on
3/16 in. I.D. hose (customer to provide
appropriate clamps). The feeder connectors self
seal when disconnected.
