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
1.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.
1.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

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.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
____________________________________________________
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.
____________________________________________________
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous
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.

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.

LN-7 GMA WIRE FEEDER
INSTALLATION A-3
MOUNTING LOCATION
The LN-7 GMA wire feeders can be mounted directly on top of the power source providing that it is secure and level. The LN-7 can be mounted to an undercarriage when portability is required.
A K178-1 swivel platform is available for mounting the LN-7 GMA to a power source. Refer to the accessories section for details.
MACHINE GROUNDING
The LN-7 GMA wire feeders are ground to the power source through the input cable. The power source grounding terminal must be properly connected to electrical ground per the power source operating manual.
TABLE A.1 - LN-7 GMA CONNECTION DIAGRAMS
Figure # Power Source
INPUT CABLE CONNECTIONS
Refer to Section C, Accessories, for descriptions of the various input cable assemblies available for the LN-7 GMA wire feeder.
Turn input power off before connecting the LN-7 GMA wire feeder.
For connecting an LN-7 GMA to a specific Lincoln power source follow steps 1 through 6, and refer to the connection diagrams in Figure A.3 through A.17 for the specific power source. Table A.1 lists each figure number with its corresponding power source.

INSTALLATIONA-4
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.

3. If input cables longer than the standard length must be used, K292 extension cables (50 ft/15.2 m) can be installed. These have polarized plugs on each end of the control cable and include a 4/0 (107 mm2) electrode cable. Install the extensions between the standard input cable and the wire feeder. Total input cable length should not exceed 400 ft (122 m). When using longer lengths of extension cables, it may be necessary to add parallel electrode cables to minimize the voltage drop in the cable.
