ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input
live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly 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 DC 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!

single weld output terminal.
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter-type welding power sources after removal of input power.
D Turn Off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge input
capacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Section before touching any parts.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.
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.
D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator. D Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
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.
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.
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 fil-
ter lenses to protect your face and eyes 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 protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant mate-
rial (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
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 closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes,
unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 (see Safety Standards).
D Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as
practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire hazards.
D Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes. D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at
contact tip when not in use.
D Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy
shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro­magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power­frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.” However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when welding or cutting.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following procedures:

L1 selection is Manual MIG welding. D1 value is welding voltage, default is
18.5V (range is 10.0V to 50.0V). D2 value is wire feed speed, default is 5.0
m/min (range is 1 m/min to 20 m/min). See Section 4-11.
L2 selection is Synergic MIG welding (non-
pulsed). D1 value is trim, default is 0.0 T (range is
5.0 T to 5.0 T). D2 value is wire feed speed (from minimum
to maximum value according to welding curve selection).
. When L2 is flashing, material transfer
in the arc is by large droplets (globular transfer) and produces considerable spatter. This is the result of selecting a specific material, wire, gas, voltage, and current combination. To avoid this situation, Synergic Pulsed MIG weld­ing with the same parameter combina­tion is recommended. When L2 is On continuously (not flashing), material transfer in the arc is either short circuit (Short Arc) or by small droplets (Spray Transfer). Both MIG processes pro­vide a stable arc and minimum spatter.
L3 selection is Synergic Pulsed MIG weld­ing.
D1 value is trim, default is 0.0 T (range is
5.0 T to 5.0 T). D2 value is wire feed speed (from minimum
to maximum value according to welding curve selection).
L4 selection is TIG welding or STICK weld­ing.
If selected process is TIG: D1 displays TIG, and D2 value is welding
current, default is 220 A (range is 10 A to 400 A).
If selected process is STICK: D1 initially displays STICK and changes to
open circuit voltage at approximately 85 V, and D2 value is welding current, default is 220 A (range is 10 A to 400 A).

MIG, Synergic MIG, and Synergic Pulsed MIG welding to change when weld output power is present at the weld connnectors. Trigger mode also allows enabling and dis­abling STICK welding.
In TIG, Manual MIG, Synergic MIG, and Synergic Pulsed MIG welding, pressing P6 will change trigger mode, but D1 and D2 will not change values.
In STICK welding, pressing P6 will enable welding (L16 ON, D1 shows open circuit voltage or weld voltage and D2 shows set current or welding current) or disable weld-
ing (L16 OFF, D1 shows STK and D2 shows set current).
Press P6 to select the desired trigger mode:
L13 ON selects 2 times trigger function. When trigger is pressed, welding starts. When trigger is released, welding stops. L14 ON selects 4 times trigger function. When trigger is pressed, welding starts. When trigger is released, welding contin-
ues. When trigger is pressed and released a
second time, welding stops. L15 ON selects 3 levels trigger function. When trigger is pressed, welding starts
with level 1 parameters. When trigger is released, welding contin-
ues with main parameters. When trigger is pressed a second time,
welding continues at level 2 parameters.
When trigger is released the second time, welding stops.
. L15 trigger mode is useful for certain
materials like aluminum, and for a cra­ter fill sequence.
L16 ON means weld output power is pres­ent at weld connectors. This LED must be on for the STICK process to enable weld­ing. LED will turn on when weld output pow­er is present at weld connectors for MIG and TIG processes.
In Manual MIG process, 2 times and 4 times trigger mode can be selected.

Setting Synergic Double Pulsed MIG Welding
Some metals weld better using the Synerg­ic Pulsed Welding process due to the unique pulsing of the welding arc. Heat generated in the workpiece is generally lower and the arc characteristics produce a better weld bead appearance especially on aluminum. The Synergic Double Pulsed MIG process allows control all parameters to produce high quality welds on aluminum.
. Incorrect settings in Synergic Double
Pulsed Welding process can result in a program with undesirable weld char­acteristics. Setup should only be used by operators familiar with various welding processes and parameters. In some cases, standard Synergic Pulsed MIG welding can produce bet­ter welds.
Use E1 to change D1 to DP. D2 value is default setting of OFF.
Use E2 to change D2 value to ON. This set­ting will enable or disable Double Pulse in Synergic Pulsed MIG welding.
Use E1 to change D1 to DPFR. D2 value is default setting of OFF. Use E2 to change D2 value. The range of this setting is 0.1 H to 5.0 H.
This setting allows changing double pulse frequency in hertz (cycles per second). A recommended frequency is approximately 1 hertz. OFF means double pulse is off.
Use E1 to change D1 to DPDC. D2 value is default setting of 50%. Use E2 to change D2 value. The range of this setting is 25% to 75%.
This setting allows changing the time that the pulse is at high output. A lower setting will produce less heating at the welding puddle.
Use E1 to change D1 to DPOF. D2 value is default setting of 1.0M. Use E2 to change D2 value. The range of this setting is 0.2 M to 2.0 M.
This setting allows changing the difference in high wire feed speed and low wire feed speed from the main wire feed speed set­ting. For example, if main wire feed speed is set at 5 M and DPOF setting in D2 is 1.0 M, the wire feed speed will change be­tween 4 m/min and 6 m/min. A recom­mended setting is 1.0 M or less.
Use E1 to change D1 to DPAR. D2 value is default setting of 0.0 T. Use E2 to change D2 value. The range of this setting is 5.0 T to 5.0 T.
This setting allows changing the high end of trim in double pulse and the main setting for trim will be the low end. A higher DPAR setting will produce a longer and hotter arc and lower setting will produce a shorter and cooler arc.
