ARC WELDING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
Instruction 830001
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous
to your health.
Weldingproduces fumesandgases.Breathingthese
fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breath the fumes.
2. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to
remove welding fumes and gases.
3. If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
Sparks and spatter fly off from the welding arc. The
flying sparks and hot metal, weld spatter, hot workpiece, and hot equipment cancausefiresandburns.
Accidental contact of electrode or welding wire to
metal objects can cause sparks, overheating, or fire.
1. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
2. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
3. Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc.
If this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.
4. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
4. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instruction for metals, consumables, coatings, and
cleaners.
5. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Shielding gases used for
welding can displace air causing injury or death. Be sure the
breathing air is safe.
6. Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying
operations. The heat and raysof thearccanreactwithvapors to
form highly toxic and irritating gases.
7. 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 if necessary, while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals
containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.
5. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
6. Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition
can cause fire on the hidden side.
7. Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks or drums.
8. 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 and fire hazards.
9. Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
10. Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at
contact tip when not in use.
11. Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy
shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
FLYING SPARKS AND HOT METAL can
cause injury.
Chipping and grinding cause flying metal. As welds
cool, they can throw off slag.
CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.
Shielding gas cylinderscontaingasunderhighpressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas
cylinders are normally part of the welding process,
be sure to treat them carefully.
1. Protectcompressed gascylindersfromexcessiveheat, mechanical shocks, and arcs.
2. Install and secure cylinders in an upright position by chaining
themtoastationarysupportorequipmentcylinderracktoprevent
falling or tipping.
ENGINE EXHAUST GASES can kill.
Engines produce harmful exhaust gases.
1. Wear approved face shield or safety goggles. Side shields recommended.
2. Wear proper body protection to protect skin.
3. Keep cylindersawayfrom any welding orotherelectrical circuits.
4. Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder.
5. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and
fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them and
associated parts in good condition.
6. Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve.
7. Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is
in use or connected for use.
8. Read and follow instructionsoncompressedgas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-1 listed in Safety
Standards.
ENGINES can be hazardous.
1. Use equipment outside in open, well-ventilated areas.
2. If used in a closed area, vent engine exhaust outside and away
from any building air intakes.

WARNING: This product, when used for welding or cutting, produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State
of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.5 et seq.)
NOTE: Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields
The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section of the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment,
of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields — Background Paper, OTA-BP-E-63 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, May
1989): “... there is now a very large volume of scientific findings based on experiments at the cellular level and from studies with animals and
people which clearly establish that low frequency magnetic fields can interact with, and produce changes in, biological systems. While most of
this work is of very high quality, the results are complex. Current scientific understanding does not yet allow us to interpret the evidence in a
single coherent framework. Even more frustrating, it does not yet allow us to draw definite conclusions about questions of possible risk or to
offer clear science-based advice on strategies to minimize or avoid potential risks.”
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following procedures:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
2. Do not addfuelwhile smokingor if unitis near anysparks oropen
flames.
3. Allow engine to cool before fueling. If possible, check and add
fuel to cold engine before beginning job.
4. Do not overfill tank — allow room for fuel to expand.
5. Do not spillfuel.Iffuelisspilled,clean up before starting engine.
3. Have only qualified people remove guards or covers for mainte-
nance and troubleshooting as necessary.
4. To prevent accidentalstartingduring servicing,disconnectnega-
tive (-) battery cable from battery.
5. Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and tools away from moving
parts.
6. Reinstall panels or guards and close doors when servicing is
finished and before starting engine.
1. Always wear a face shield when working on a battery.
2. Stop engine before disconnecting or connecting battery cables.
3. Do not allow tools to cause sparks when working on a battery.
4. Do not use welder to charge batteries or jump start vehicles.
5. Observe correct polarity (+ and –) on batteries.
1. Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Allow engine to
cool.
2. Wear gloves and put a rag over cap area when removing cap.
3. Allow pressure to escape before completely removing cap.
Biological Effects
3. Do not coil or drape cables around the body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from body as
practical.

LES VAPEURS ET LESFUMEES SONT
DANGEREUSES POUR LA SANTE.
Le soudage dégage des vapeurs et des fumées
dangereuses à respirer.
1. Eloignez la tête des fumées pour éviter de les respirer.
2. A l’intérieur, assurez-vous que l’aire de soudage est bien ventilée ou que les fumées et les vapeurs sont aspirées à l’arc.
3. Si la ventilation est inadequate, portez un respirateur à adduc-
tion d’air approuvé.
4. Lisez les fiches signalétiques et les consignes du fabricant
relatives aux métaux, aux produits consummables, aux revêtements et aux produits nettoyants.
5. Ne travaillez dans un espace confiné que s’il est bien ventilé;
sinon, portez un respirateur à adduction d’air. Les gaz protecteurs de soudage peuvent déplacer l’oxygène de l’air et ainsi
causer des malaises ou la mort. Assurez-vous que l’air est
propre à la respiration.
6. Ne soudez pas à proximité d’opérations de dégraissage, de
nettoyage ou de pulvérisation. La chaleur et les rayons de l’arc
peuvent réagir avec des vapeurs et former des gaz hautement
toxiques et irritants.
7. Ne soudez des tôles galvanisées ou plaquées au plomb ou au
cadmium que sileszonesà souder ont été grattées à fond, que

PRECAUTIONS DE SECURITE EN SOUDAGE A L'ARC
Instruction 830002
LE SOUDAGE PEUT CAUSER UN INCENDIE OU UNE EXPLOSION
L’arc produit des étincellies et des projections. Les
particules volantes, le métal chaud, les projections
de soudure et l’équipement surchauffé peuvent
causer un incendie et des brûlures. Le contact
accidentel de l’électrode ou du fil-électrode avec un
objet métallique peut provoquer des étincelles, un échauffement
ou un incendie.
1. Protégez-vous, ainsi que les autres, contre les étincelles et du
métal chaud.
2. Ne soudez pas dans un endroit où des particules volantes ou
des projections peuvent atteindre des matériaux inflammables.
3. Enlevez toutes matières inflammables dans un rayon de 10, 7
mètres autour de l’arc, ou couvrez-les soigneusement avec des
bâches approuvées.
LES ETINCELLES ET LES PROJECTIONS BRULANTES PEUVENT
CAUSER DES BLESSURES.
LES BOUTEILLES ENDOMMAGEES
PEUVENT EXPLOSER
Les bouteilles contiennent des gaz protecteurs
sous haute pression.Desbouteillesendommagées
peuvent exploser. Comme les bouteilles font normalement partie du procédé de soudage, traitezles avec soin.
1. Protégez les bouteilles de gaz comprimé contre les sources de
chaleur intense, les chocs et les arcs de soudage.
2. Enchainez verticalement les bouteilles à un support ou à un
cadre fixe pour les empêcher de tomber ou d’être renversées.
3. Eloignez les bouteilles de tout circuit électrique ou de tout
soudage.
4. Méfiez-vous des projections brulantes de soudage susceptibles
de pénétrerdansdesaires adjacentes pardepetitesouvertures
ou fissures.
5. Méfiez-vous des incendies et gardez un extincteur à portéede
la main.
6. N’oubliez pas qu’une soudure réalisée sur un plafond, un
plancher, une cloison ou une paroi peut enflammer l’autre côté.
7. Ne soudez pas un récipient fermé, tel un réservoir ou un baril.
8. Connectez le câble desoudagele plus près possibledela zone
de soudage pour empêcher le courant de suivre un long parcours inconnu, et prévenir ainsi les risques d’électrocution et
d’incendie.
9. Ne dégelez pas les tuyaux avec un source de courant.
10. Otez l’électrode du porte-électrode ou coupez le fil au tube-contact lorsqu’inutilisé après le soudage.
11. Portez des vêtements protecteurs non huileux, tels des gants
en cuir, une chemise épaisse, un pantalon revers, des bottines
de sécurité et un casque.
Le piquage et le meulage produisent des particules métalliques
volantes. En refroidissant, la soudure peut projeter du éclats de

Overview:
The SP-2001 Spool Gun operates in conjunction
with a SPC-2001 control box, a power source, and
a cable assembly. The SP-2001SpoolGun will also
operate with older control boxes by using a 171312
adapter cable (see Figure 4-1).
Connections:
See the System Outline drawing (870106) in the
Diagrams chapter of this manual for details.
1. Connect a weld cablefrom the power sourceto
the work connection.
2. Connect the weld cable from the SPC-2001 to
the power source.
3. Connect the control cable from the SPC-2001
to the power source.
NOTE: Adapter cables may be required;
see the “Available Options” section of the
SPC-2001 manual for part numbers.
4. Make the proper gas line connection from the
gas supply to the SPC-2001 gas valve inlet.

OPERATION
Prewelding Procedure:
Follow all installation instructions for the control
box and welding power source before attempting to
operate the SP-2001 Spool Gun Assembly.
1. Make sure all necessary connections have
been made (Refer to “Connections” in the Installation chapter of this manual).
2. Turn ON the power source.
3. Depress the gun switch trigger and adjust the
flow of shielding gas.
4. Remove the gun cover, spool cover, nozzle
assembly, and contact tip. Disengage the drive roll
lever release.
5. Install the spool of wire into the Spool Gun
Assembly. Thread the wire through the input guide,
between the drive rolls, and into the output guide.
6. Engagethe drive roll lever release and depress
the gun switch trigger.Adjust the wire feed speed to
the desired value by means of the wire feed control
in the Spool Gun Assembly handle.
7. Allow approximately 6 inches wire to run out.
Reinstall contact tip, nozzle assembly, gun cover,
and spool cover.
8. Cut off wire even with the end of the nozzle
assembly.
Welding Procedure:
WARNING: In semiautomatic or
automatic wire welding, the
welding wire, wire reel (if used),
input guide, feed rolls, output
guide, feedhead, and welding
gun metal parts are all ELECTRICALLY “HOT”.
Refer to Figure 5-1.
PositiontheSpool Gun Assembly above the workpiece and depress the gun switch trigger. Depressing the gun switch trigger enables the gas valve,
wire feed motor, and power source; the welding
process begins. To end the weld, release the gun
switch trigger which disables the gas valve, wire
feed motor, and power source.
