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.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

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 V
• 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.
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.

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 OSHAPEL
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.

WELDING 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.
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.

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
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.
Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
b.
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.
A
L’Arc
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” 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 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
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.

WELD CABLE SIZING
Minimum work and electrode cables sizes are as follows:
T ABLE A.1
(Current (60% Duty Cycle)
400 Amps 2/0 (67 mm2)
500 Amps 3/0 (85 mm2)
600 Amps 3/0 (85 mm2)
NOTE: K1796 coaxial welding cable is recommended
to reduce the cable inductance in long distance Pulse
or STT applications up to 300 amps.
MINIMUM COPPER
WORK CABLE SIZE AWG
Up To-100 Ft. Length (30 m)
WELD CABLE CONNECTION
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (Per
Table A.1) between the proper output terminal on the
power source and the work. Be sure the connection to
the work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact.
To avoid interference problems with other equipment
and to achieve the best possible operation, route all
cables directly to the work or wire feeder. Avoid excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable.
When using an inverter type power source like the
Power Waves, use the largest welding (electrode
and work) cables that are practical. At least 2/0
copper wire - even if the average output current
would not normally require it. When pulsing, the
pulse current can reach very high levels. Voltage
drops can become excessive, leading to poor
welding characteristics, if undersized welding
cables are used.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELD CABLE SIZES
Table A.2 has the copper cable sizes recommended
for different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and
back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased
for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing voltage in the welding circuit.
ELECTRODE LEAD
Most welding applications run with the electrode being
positive (+). For those applications, connect the electrode cable between the wire feeder and the positive
(+) output stud on the power source. Connect the lug
at the other end of the electrode cable to the wire drive
feed plate. Be sure the connection to the feed plate
makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact. The electrode cable should be sized according to the specifications given in the work cable connections Table A.1.
Connect a work lead from the negative (-) power
source output stud to the work piece. The work piece
connection must be firm and secure, especially if pulse
welding is planned.

CAUTION
Excessive voltage drops caused by poor work

welding performance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
COAXIAL WELD CABLES
Coaxial welding cables are specially designed welding
cables for pulse welding or STT welding. Coaxial weld
cables feature low inductance, allowing fast changes in
the weld current. Regular cables have a higher inductance which may distort the pulse or STT wave shape.
Inductance becomes more severe as the weld cables
become longer.
Coaxial weld cables are recommended for all pulse
and STT welding, especially when the total weld cable
length (electrode cable + work cable) exceeds 50 feet
(7.6m)
A coaxial weld cable is constructed by 8 small leads
wrapped around one large lead. The large inner lead
connects to the electrode stud on the power source
and the electrode connection on the wire feeder. The
small leads combine together to form the work lead,
one end attached to the power source and the other
end to the work piece.
(See Coaxial weld Cable below.)
CHANGING ELECTRODE POLARITY
SETTING
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder is preset at
the factory for Electrode Positive welding. (See Figure
A.3)
NOTE: Changing this DIP Switch does not change the
actual welding polarity. The actual welding polarity is
changed by reversing the welding cables at the power
source output studs.
This DIP Switch setting must coincide with the polarity
you are setting up to weld with for the feeder to operate correctly. Operating the Power Feed 10M Single
Wire Feeder with the DIP switch in the wrong position
will cause very erratic weld characteristics.
NEGATIVE ELECTRODE POLARITY
This options allows for the setting of negative polarity
sensing when a negative polarity welding process is
performed.
When negative electrode polarity is required, such as
in some Innershield applications, reverse the output
connections at the power source (electrode cable to
the negative (-) stud, and work cable to the positive (+)
stud).
When operating with electrode polarity negative the
Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder must be set to
recognize this set-up.
(See Figure A.3)
To change the electrode polarity DIP Switch setting:

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
It is recommended that only genuine Lincoln control
cables be used at all times. Lincoln cables are specifically designed for the communication and power
needs of the Power Wave Source / Power Feed system. The use of non-standard cables, especially in
lengths greater than 25ft(7.6m), can lead to communication problems (system shutdowns), poor motor
acceleration (poor arc starting) and low wire driving
force (wire feeding problems).
Lincoln control cables are copper 5 conductor cable in
a SO-type rubber jacket. There is one 20 gauge twisted pair for network communications. This pair has an
impedance of approximately 120 ohms and a propagation delay per foot of less than 2.1 nanoseconds.
There are two 12 gauge conductors that are used to
supply the 40 VDC to the network. The fifth wire is 18
gauge and is used as an electrode sense lead.

NOTES
DRIVE ROLL PRESSURE SETTING
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder is factory set
with the pressure indicator approximately "2". The best
drive roll pressure varies with wire type, wire surface,
lubrication and hardness. Too much pressure could
cause "birdnesting", but too little pressure could cause
slippage.
Set the drive roll pressure by:
1. Press the end of the gun against a solid object that
is electrically isolated from the welder output and
press the gun trigger for several seconds.
2. If the wire "birdnests" or jams, the drive roll pressure
is too high. Reduce the pressure by one turn of the
knob, run new wire through the gun, and repeat step
1.
If the only result is slippage, disconnect the gun and
3.
pull the gun cable forward about 6" (150mm). There
should be a slight waviness in the exposed wire. If
there is no waviness, increase the pressure setting
one turn, reconnect the gun and repeat the above
steps.
CHANGING THE GUN RECEIVER BUSHING
Gun receiver bushings make it easy to switch from one
gun to another.
Tools required:
1/4" Allen wrench
To change the gun bushing:
1. Turn off power at the welding power source.
2. Remove the welding wire from the wire drive.
3. Remove the thumb screw from the wire drive.
4. Remove the welding gun from the wire drive.
5. Loosen the socket head cap screw that holds the connector bar against the gun bushing. Important: Do not
attempt to completely remove the socket head cap
screw.
6. Remove the outer wire guide, and push the gun bush-
ing out of the wire drive. Because of the precision fit,
light tapping may be required to remove the gun bushing.
7. Disconnect the shielding gas hose from the gun bush-
ing, if required.
8. Connect the shielding gas hose to the new gun bush-
ing, if required.
9. Rotate the gun bushing until the thumb screw hole
aligns with the thumb screw hole in the feed plate.
Slide the gun receiver bushing into the wire drive and
verify the thumb screw holes are aligned.
Note: Some gun bushings do not require the use of the
thumb screw.
10. Tighten the socket head cap screw
.
11. Insert the welding gun into the gun bushing and tight-
en the thumb screw.

INSTALLATION
WIRE FEED SHUT DOWN CIRCUIT
The wire feed shut down circuit is used to stop the wire
feed in the event of a fault. The most common use of
the circuit is with water cooled guns. A flow sensor is
connected to the circuit to protect the welding gun if the
water flow is interrupted.
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder has two
leads, 570A and 570B, located inside the wire drive
that are electrically common. If flow switch is used,
separate these leads and connect to normally closed
flow switch terminals when water is flowing. Connect
the flow sensor to these two leads.
CHANGING THE GEAR RATIO
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder wire drive
may be configured for either low speed or high speed,
depending upon the application. The wire feeders are
factory assembled for low speed operation and include
a gear for high speed operation.

WELD WIRE ROUTING
The electrode supply may be either from reels, ReadiReels, spools, or bulk packaged drums or reels.
Observe the following precautions:
a) The electrode must be routed to the wire drive unit
so that the bends in the wire are at a minimum,
and also that the force required to pull the wire
from the reel into the wire drive unit is kept at a
minimum.
b) The electrode is “hot” when the gun trigger is
pressed and must be insulated from the boom and
structure.
c) If more than one wire feed unit shares the same
boom and are not sharing the some power source
output stud, their wire and reels must be insulated
from each other as well as insulated from their
mounting structure.
8. Slide the cage all way onto the adapter until the
retaining spring "pops up" fully.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder is a modular
wire feeder, consisting of two components - a wire
drive and a control box - are available assembled as
a bench unit or as a boom system. High speed, highly reliable digital cables connect the components
together and to the Power Wave power source.
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder system has
the ability to connect multiple wire feeders to one
power source, use the same power source to weld in
ferent locations (not simultaneously), or load a
two dif
different electrode on each feeder to eliminate change
over time.
The powerful four roll wire drive system sets the industry standard for ease of use. Its patented design allows
for tool-less change out of wire guides and drive rolls
greatly reducing set up time.

LAYOUT-CONTROLS
(SEE FIGURE B.3)
The MSP4 panel controls (Items 7 and 9) set consist of
an encoder knob Item 8 and two push buttons. The
encoder is primarily used to change the value of the
selected attribute.
The left pushbutton (Item 7)
is used to toggle between
Weld Mode selection and any active Arc Controls
(a.k.a. wave controls). The choices of wave controls
varies by weld mode. For example, weld mode 31 has
one wave control, “Pinch”. Weld mode 110 has three
wave controls, “Peak Current”, “Background Current”
and “Tailout”. If the selected weld mode has no wave
controls, pressing the left pushbutton will have no
affect. If the selected weld mode uses one or more
wave controls, pressing the left pushbutton will
sequence the selection from weld mode -> wave control 1 (if active) -> wave control 2 (if active) -> wave
control 3 (if active) -> wave control 4 (if active) then
back to weld mode.
The right pushbutton (Item 9)
is used to select attributes that affect the available weld parameters such as
preflow time, burnback time, etc. Since most users will
require infrequent access to these attributes, they are
separate from weld mode selection and wave control
adjustment.
