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.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.
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.

SAFETY
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 Items 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 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 within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits 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 OSHA PEL
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.

6.a.
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 adjcent 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.

SAFETY
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.
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
zones où l’on 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
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.

frame must be electrically bonded to the metal frame of
the vehicle. Use a #8 or larger copper wire connected
between the machine grounding stud and the frame of
the vehicle.
Where this engine driven welder is connected to
premises wiring such as that in your home or shop, it’s
frame must be connected to the system earth ground.
See further connection instructions in the section entitled “Standby Power Connections”, as well as the article on grounding in the latest National Electrical Code
and the local code.
In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should
be connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid
earth ground such as a metal water pipe going into the
ground for at least ten feet and having no insulated
joints, or to the metal framework of a building which
has been effectively grounded. The National Electrical
Code lists a number of alternate means of grounding
electrical equipment. A machine grounding stud
marked with the symbol is provided on the front of
the welder.
SPARK ARRESTER
See additional warning information at
front of this operator’s manual.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MACHINE GROUNDING
Because this portable engine driven welder or generator creates it’s own power, it is not necessary to connect it’s frame to an earth ground, unless the machine
is connected to premises wiring (your home, shop,
etc.).
WARNING
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment to which this engine driven welder supplies
power must be grounded to the frame of the welder
using a grounded type plug, or be double insulated.
Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries
explosive or combustible material.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some federal, state, or local laws may require that
gasoline engines be equipped with exhaust spark
arresters when they are operated in certain locations
where unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard.
The standard muffler included with this welder does not
qualify as a spark arrester. When required by local regulations, the K894-1 spark arrester must be installed
and properly maintained.
CAUTION
An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to the
engine or adversely affect performance.

AUXILIARY POWER
The EAGLE 10,000 can provide up to 9,000 watts of
120/240 volts AC, single phase 60Hz power for continuous use, and up to 10,000 watts of 120/240 volts AC,
single phase 60Hz power peak use. The front of the
machine includes three receptacles for connecting the
AC power plugs; one 50 amp 120/240 volt NEMA 1450R receptacle and two 20 amp 120 volt NEMA 5-20R
receptacles. Output voltage is within +/-10% at all
loads up to rated capacity. See Table I for more information.
CAUTION
Do not connect any plugs that connect to the
power receptacles in parallel.

120 V DUPLEX RECEPTACLES
Start the engine and set the “IDLER” control switch to
the desired operating mode. Set the “CONTROL” to
10. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxiliary power.
120/240 VOLT DUAL VOLTAGE RECEPTACLE
The 120/240 volt receptacle can supply up to 38 amps
of 240 volt power to a two wire circuit, up to 38 amps
of 120 volts power from each side of a three wire circuit (up to 76 amps total). Do not connect the 120 volt
circuits in parallel. Current sensing for the automatic
idle feature is only in one leg of the three wire circuit as
shown in the following column.
EAGLE 10,000 Extension Cord Length Recommendations
(Use the shortest length extension cord possible sized per the following table.)
The 120V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved
double insulated tools with two wire plugs.
The current rating of any plug used with the system
must be at least equal to the current load through the
associated receptacle.
MOTOR STARTING
Most 1.5 hp AC single phase motors can be started if
there is no load on the motor or other load connected
to the machine, since the full load current rating of a
1.5 hp motor is approximately 20 amperes (10
amperes for 240 volt motors). The motor may be run at
full load when plugged into only one side of the duplex
receptacle. Larger motors through 2 hp can be run provided the receptacle rating as previously stated is not
exceeded. This may necessitate 240V operation only.

arc is initiated and the engine accelerates to full
speed.
After welding ceases (and no auxiliary power is
being drawn), the engine will return to low idle
after approximately 10 to 14 seconds.
• Auxiliary Power
With the engine running at low idle and auxiliary
power for lights or tools is drawn (approximately
100-150 watts or greater) from the receptacles,
the engine will accelerate to high speed. If no
power is being drawn from the receptacles (and
not welding) for 10-14 seconds, the idler reduces
the engine speed to low idle.

STARTING/SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING
• Do not touch electrically live parts
of electrode with skin or wet
clothing.
• Keep flammable material away.
• Insulate yourself from work and
ground. Wear eye, ear, and body
protection.
• Keep your head out of the fumes.
• Use ventilation or exhaust to
remove fumes from breathing
zone.
Be sure all Pre-Operation Maintenance has been performed. Also, read the Engine Owner’s Manual before
starting for the first time.
Remove all loads connected to the AC power receptacles. Use the choke control as follows:
KOHLER ENGINE - Always pull the choke control out
when starting the engine; cold, warm or hot.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads and
allow engine to run at low idle speed for a few minutes
to cool the engine.
Stop the engine by placing the Engine switch in the
“OFF” position.
A fuel shut off valve is not required on the Eagle 10,000
because the fuel tank is mounted below the engine.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
It is normal for any engine to use a greater amount of
oil until the break-in is accomplished. Check the oil
level twice a day during the break-in period (approximately 50 running hours).
IMPORTANT: IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS
BREAK-IN, THE UNIT SHOULD BE
SUBJECTED TO MODERATE
LOADS, WITHIN THE RATING OF
THE MACHINE. AVOID LONG IDLE
RUNNING PERIODS. REMOVE
LOADS AND ALLOW ENGINE TO
COOL BEFORE SHUTDOWN.
The engine manufacturer’s recommendation for the
running time until the first oil change is as follows:
The oil filter is to be changed at the second oil change.
Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOC
Turn the engine switch to the “start” position and
crank the engine until it starts. Release the switch as
soon as the engine starts, slowly return the choke
control to the full “in” position (choke open),
and turn the switch to the Auto Idle( / )
position. Do not turn the switch to the “start” position
while the engine is running because this will cause
damage to the ring gear and/or starter motor
After running at high engine speed for 10-14 seconds,
the engine will go to low idle.
Allow the engine to warm up by letting it run at low idle
for a few minutes.

WELDING PROCESS
For any electrodes the procedures should be kept within the rating of the machine. For electrode information
see the appropriate Lincoln publication.
Stick (Constant Current) Welding
Connect welding cables to the “+” and “-” studs. Start
the engine. The “RANGE” switch markings indicate the
maximum current for that range as well as the typical
electrode size for that range. The “OUTPUT” Control
provides fine adjustment of the welding current within
the select range. For maximum output within a selected range set the “OUTPUT” Control at 10. For minimum output within a selected range set the “OUTPUT”
Control at 5. (“OUTPUT” Control settings below 5 may
reduce arc stability) For best overall welding performance set the “RANGE” Switch to the lowest setting
and the OUTPUT” Control near the maximum to
achieve the desired welding current.

TIG (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING
The K930-[ ] TIG Module installed on a EAGLE 10,000
provides high frequency and shielding gas control for
GTAW (TIG) welding processes. Output Control is from
the Eagle 10,000. The control on the TIG Module is not
functional. After flow time is adjustable from 0 to 55
seconds. A K814 Arc Start Switch is required.
The K930-[ ] TIG Module should be used with the
EAGLE 10,000 on HIGH IDLE to maintain satisfactory
operation. It can be used in the AUTO position but the
delay going to low idle after welding is ceased will be
increased if the AFTER FLOW CONTROL is set above
10 seconds. A K814 Arc Start Switch is required.
