ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shock or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit i electrically live whenever the output is on. The inpu power circuit and machine internal circuits are also live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automati wire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing and all metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperl grounded equipment is a hazard.
D Do not touch live electrical parts.
D Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection. D Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats
or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work or ground.
D Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if
there is a danger of falling.
D Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process. D If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on
unit.
D Additional safety precautions are required when any of the follow-
ing electrically hazardous conditions are present: 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; or when there is a high risk of unavoid­able or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a D C manual (stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit volt­age. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder is recommended. And, do not work alone!
D Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or
servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.
F)
d
r t
Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
D Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. D If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the
arc to remove welding fumes and gases. The recommended way to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.
D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator. D Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch­person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breath­ing air is safe.
D Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying op-
erations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
D Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or
cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
D Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of
filter lenses to protect your face and eyes from arc rays and sparks when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards).
D Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your
helmet.
D Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
D Wear body protection made from durable, flame−resistant mate-
rial (leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at
contact tip when not in use.
D Wear body protection made from durable, flame−resistant material
(leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
D Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,
from your person before doing any welding.
D After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks,
glowing embers, and flames.
D Use only correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or by-
pass them.
D Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B
for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.
D Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
FLYING ME TA L o r DIRT can injure eyes.
D Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding
cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool, they can throw off slag.
D Wear approved safety glasses with side
shields even under your welding helmet.
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.
D Shut o f f compressed gas supply when not in use. D Always ventilate confined spaces or use
approved air-supplied respirator.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS (EM can affect Implanted Medical Devices.
D Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implante
Medical Devices should keep away.
D Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their docto
and the device manufacturer before going near arc welding, spo welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
D Wear approved ear protection if noise lev-
el is high.
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot
burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding.
D Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If
this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.
D Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material. D Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal. D Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
D Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. D Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can
cause fire on the hidden side.
D Do not weld on containers that have held combustibles, or on
closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 and AWS A6.0 (see Safety Standards).
D Do not weld where the atmosphere can contain flammable dust,
gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).

1-6. EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The current from arc welding (and allied pro­cesses including spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, and induction heating operations) creates an EMF field around the welding circuit. EMF fields can interfere with some medical implants, e.g. pace­makers. Protective measures for persons wearing medical implants have to be taken. For example, restrict access for passers−by or con­duct individual risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom­mended.

Le courant électrique qui traverse tout conducteur génère des champs électromagnétiques (CEM) à certains endroits. Le courant issu d’un soudage à l’arc (et de procédés connexes, y compris le soudage par points, le gougeage, le découpage plasma et les opérations de chauffage par induction) crée un champ électromagnétique (CEM) autour d u circuit de soudage. Les champs électromagnétiques produits peuvent causer interférence à certains implants médicaux, p. ex. les stimulateurs cardiaques. Des mesures de protection pour les porteurs d’implants médicaux doivent être prises: Limiter par exemple tout accès aux passants ou procéder à une évaluation des risques individuels pour les soudeurs. Tous les soudeurs doivent appliquer les procédures suivantes pour minimiser l’exposition aux CEM provenant du circuit de soudage:
1. Rassembler les câbles en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec du ruban adhésif ou avec une housse.
2. Ne pas se tenir au milieu des câbles de soudage. Disposer les
OM-273242 Page 8
câbles d’un côté et à distance de l’opérateur.
3. Ne pas courber et ne pas entourer les câbles autour de votre corps.
4. Maintenir la tête et le torse aussi loin que possible du matériel du circuit de soudage.
5. Connecter la pince sur la pièce aussi près que possible de la soudure.
6. Ne pas travailler à proximité d’une source de soudage, ni s’asseoir ou se pencher dessus.
7. Ne pas souder tout en portant la source de soudage ou le dévidoir.
En ce qui concerne les implants médicaux :
Les porteurs d’implants doivent d’abord consulter leur médecin avant de s’approcher des opérations de soudage à l’arc, de soudage par points, de gougeage, du coupage plasma ou de chauf fage par induc­tion. Si le médecin approuve, il est recommandé de suivre les procédures précédentes.

Notes
SECTION 8 − PROGRAMMING
To enter the SETUP MENU press and re­lease the SETUP button. The SETUP
MENU INDICATOR and the SETUP BUTTON INDICATOR will illuminate.
Rotate the LEFT ADJUST KNOB to select different menu items shown in the LEFT
DISPLAY. Rotate the RIGHT ADJUST KNOB to change menu item values shown
in the RIGHT DISPLAY. To exit the SETUP MENU press and re-
lease the SETUP button. Items that can be adjusted in this menu are: Trigger Control (TRIG) − Sets the gun
trigger control. The trigger control can be configured as (STD, HOLD, or SPOT).
Trigger Hold Delay (HOLD) − Additional trigger setting only appearing in the menu when the trigger control is set to (TRIG HOLD). T rigger hold delay time is the min­imum amount of time the trigger must be held for trigger hold to become active. There is a built in maximum trigger hold time which the trigger must be released within for trigger hold to become active. The maximum trigger hold time is always
4.0 seconds after the trigger hold delay time. For Example, if the trigger hold delay time is set to 2.0 seconds, the trigger must be held for at least 2.0 seconds and re­leased within 6.0 seconds for trigger hold to become active. Once the trigger hold func­tion is active, the wire feeder will continue feeding wire until the trigger is pressed and released again.
Trigger 4T − Allows the operator to select between weld parameters and crater pa­rameters using the gun trigger. Crater time must be set for at least 0.2 seconds to
make this function operational. If gun trig­ger is released during welding the unit goes into trigger hold - pressing and holding trig­ger again will cause the unit to stay in crater until trigger is released and crater parame­ter times out.
Trigger Spot Time (SPOT) − Additional trigger setting only appearing in the menu when the trigger control is set to (TRIG SPOT). The SPOT time is the length of combined time for the start (if applicable) and the weld sequence. The weld will end when the set time has expired or the trigger has been released, whichever occurs first. The spot time is reset when the trigger is re­leased.
Remote Process Select

. A Remote Process Select capable
power source automatically switches to the selected weld process when this option is changed at the wire feeder. The wire and gas program selections for each weld process must be set at the power source.
. When Trigger Schedule Select (see
Section 8-2) is enabled, the Weld Pro­cess option can be set independently for each schedule. This allows the op­erator to remotely change the weld process at the wire feeder and power source with a single tap of the welding gun trigger.
Preflow (PRE) − The amount of time that the shielding gas will flow after the trigger is pressed and before the welding arc will be allowed to be active. Range of this set­ting is from (0.0 to 5.0) seconds.
Postflow (POST) − The amount of time that the shielding gas will flow after the arc has been shut off. Range of this setting is from (0.0 to 10.0) seconds.
Run−In Speed (R−IN) − The wire feed speed prior to the welding arc being struck. This setting is a percentage of the wire feed speed the unit is set to for welding. Range of this setting is from (X0.10 to X0.99 to OFF). Example: If the weld wire speed is 200 and R−IN is X0.50, the run−in wire speed is 10 0 .
Burnback (B.BAK) − Burnback sets a time from 0 to 0.25 seconds in increments of 0.01 seconds. This is the time that the arc is allowed to stay on after the wire stops feeding.
Burnback Volts (VLTS) − Sets the voltage used for burnback. The range is the same as the selected power source. Measured in
0.1 volt increments. Retract (RTRK) − When enabled, the user
can set a distance in inches from 0 to 1.5 inches. This is the distance the wire will backup after welding stops.
Profile Pulse ON/OFF − When Profile Pulse is On, the pulse parameters and wire speed are coordinated to produce a con­sistent ripple pattern.
. Additional PROFILE PULSE menu
items may appear in the SETUP MENU when PROFILE PULSE is act-
ive. See Section 8-7.

Range Limits (LMTS) − When set to (ON), the wire feed speed and arc length or voltage weld settings are limited to minim­um and maximum adjustable ranges. The minimum and maximum range settings ap­pear next in the menu when (LMTS) is set to (ON). When set to (OFF), range limits are inactive and do not appear in the menu.
Wire Feed Range Limit (MIN) − Indicated in the LEFT DISPLAY with the WIREFEED SPEED INDICATOR illuminated. Sets the minimum wire feed speed. Range of this setting is from 70 to 780 IPM.
Wire Feed Range Limit (MAX) − Indicated in the LEFT DISPLAY with the WIREFEED SPEED INDICATOR illuminated. Sets the maximum wire feed speed. Range of this setting is from (MIN) setting to 780 IPM.
Arc Length Range Limit (MIN) − Indicated in the LEFT DISPLAY with the ARC LENGTH INDICATOR illuminated. Sets the minimum arc length. Range of this setting is from 0 to 100.
Arc Length Range Limit (MAX) − Indic­ated in the LEFT DISPLAY with the ARC LENGTH INDICATOR illuminated. Sets the maximum arc length. Range of this setting is from (MIN) setting to 100.
. When the Pulse Display (PULS) option
in the SETUP MENU LEVEL 2 is set to (VOLT), the Arc Length Range Limits are replaced by Voltage Range Limits.
Voltage Range Limit (MIN) − Indicated in the LEFT DISPLAY with the VOLTS INDICATOR illuminated. Sets the minimum voltage. Range of this setting is dependent on the power source voltage range in the MIG process, and varies with the selected wire and gas program in the PULSED MIG
process. If the power source weld process is set to PULSED MIG, the minimum voltage range limit setting will change if the wire and gas program selection is changed.
Voltage Range Limit (MAX) − Indicated in the LEFT DISPLAY with the VOLTS INDICATOR illuminated. Sets the maxim­um voltage. Range of this setting is depend­ent on the power source voltage range in the MIG process, and varies with the selec­ted wire and gas program in the PULSED MIG process. If the power source weld pro­cess is set to PULSED MIG, the maximum voltage range limit setting will change if the wire and gas program selection is changed.
Power Source Synergic Mode (PWR.S) −
Sets the synergic mode to (AUTO) or manual (MAN). When set to (AUTO), the wire feeder and a synergic capable power source function as a synergic Pulsed MIG system. When set to (MAN), the power source and wire feeder function as a non− synergic MIG or Pulsed MIG welding sys­tem.
S For proper operation, this setting should be set to match the power source pulse (PULS) mode setting.
Pulse Display (PULS) − Allows the preset weld parameter adjustment to be set as voltage or arc length. This setting affects only the d i s p l a y a p p e a r a n c e a n d w i l l n o t af­fect operation. The (PULS) setting should be set to match the power source display. When set to (VOLT), the preset voltage set point will be shown in the Left Display with the VOLTS INDICATOR illuminated. When set to (ARC.L), the preset arc length will be shown in the Left Display with the ARC LENGTH INDICATOR illuminated.
Trigger Program Select (T.PGM) − Enable (YES/NO) sets trigger program select. This is a global setting and sets one side left or right either YES “ON” or OFF “NO”. Setting this function allows changing programs when not welding by tapping the trigger.
. Programs can only be selected if pre-
flow is greater than .2 seconds.
Trigger Schedule Select (SCHD) − Allows the operator to select the alternative sched­ule by quickly tapping the gun trigger when welding. When set to (OFF), trigger sched­ule select is disabled. When set to (TRIG), the schedule is selected by tapping th e g un trigger when welding. The pulling and re­lease of the gun trigger must happen within
0.2 seconds for the schedule to change. When set to (DSS), guns with a dual sched­ule switch are enabled. This selection is on­ly allowed in PGM 1 or 3.
Profile Pulse Menu (PROF) − Allows Pro­file Pulse to appear in the Setup Menu.
When set to (NO), (PROF) will not appear in the Setup Menu. When set to (YES), (PROF) will appear in the Setup Menu. Pro­file Pulse parameters cannot be adjusted when Parameter Lock is set to (ON).
Retract (RTRK) − Enables the retract func­tion (YES/NO). Retract distance is set in menu setup 1. Setting is in inches of retract.
Menu Lock Code (CODE) − Allows setting a numerical password code to obstruct ac­cess to the Setup Menu Level 2. By default, (CODE) is (OFF) allowing access to the menu without entering a password. The password can be programmed to values between 0 and 999. Once programmed, the password must be re−entered each time the menu is accessed. A failed password attempt causes the display to momentarily show (DENY). (CODE) will continue to show on the display until the correct pass­word is entered or the power is cycled.
. Anytime the menu is exited with
(CODE OFF), a special sequence is required before a new password can be set. With (CODE OFF) shown on the display, press and hold the SETUP button and rotate the RIGHT ADJUST KNOB to set the password to (0123). Release the SETUP button, the display should read (CODE 0000). The pass­word can now be set to a new value.

8-7. Profile Pulse
Profile Pulse optimizes Aluminum weld bead appearance by producing welds with consistently spaced ripple patterns, similar to GTAW. This feature has been designed to operate in a Synergic Pulsed MIG sys­tem. The consistent ripple pattern is achieved b y periodically changing both the wire feed speed and power level. The aver­age wire feed speed is determined by the value the unit is set to for welding.
. By default, Profile Pulse parameters
are hidden from the Setup Menu. To view the parameters, the (PROF) set­ting in the Setup Menu Level 2 must be
set to (YES). See section 8-2.
Profile Pulse Items that can be adjusted in the Setup Menu are:
Profile Pulse ON/OFF (PROF) − Allows Profile Pulse to be turned on or off.
Profile Pulse Frequency (P.FRQ) − Sets the spacing between ripples in the weld bead. Range of this setting is from (0.1 to
5.0) pulses per second. See Figures 1 and 2 below.
Profile Pulse Wire Feed Speed Change (P.WFS) − Sets the percentage of change
above and below the wire feed speed the
unit is set to for welding. Range of this set­ting is (X0.00 to X0.30). Example: If the wire feed speed is 200 and (P.WFS) is set to (X0.10), the wire feed speed will alternate between 180 and 220 ipm.
Profile Pulse Arc Length (P.AL) − Sets an arc length correction factor for the lower wire feed speed. This setting is a percent­age of the arc length the unit is set to for welding. Range of this setting is from (X0.5 to X1.5). Example: If the arc length for weld­ing is set to 50 and (P.AL) is set to (X1.1), the arc length setting for the lower wire feed speed is 55 .
