SECTION 1 - SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATION OF ARC WELDING POWER SOURCE
1-1. INTRODUCTION
We learn by experience. Learning safety through per
sonal experience, like a child touching a hot stove is
harmful, wasteful, and unwise. Let the experience of
others teach you.
Safe practices developed from experience in the use of
welding and cutting are described in this manual. Re
search, development, and field experience have
evolved reliable equipment and safe installation, operation, and servicing practices. Accidents occur when
equipment is improperly used or maintained. The rea
son for the safe practices may not always be given.Some are based on common sense, others may requiretechnical volumes to explain. It is wiser to follow the
rules.
Read and understand these safe practices before at
tempting to install, operate, or service the equipment.
Comply with these procedures as applicable to the par
ticular equipment used and their instruction manuals, for
personal safety and for the safety of others.
Failure to observe these safe practices may cause sen
ous injury or death. When safety becomes a habit, the
equipment can be used with confidence.
These safe practices are divided into two Sections:
1-General Precautions, common to arc welding and cut
ting; and 2-Arc Welding (and Cutting) (only).
Reference standards: Published Standards on safetyare also available for additional and more complete procedures than those given in this manual. They are listed
in the Standards Index in this manual. ANSI Z49.1 is the
most complete.
The National Electrical Code, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, local industrial codes, and local
inspection requirements also provide a basis for equipment installation, use, and service.
1-2. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Different arc welding processes, electrode alloys,and fluxes can produce different fumes, gases, andradiatIon levels. In addition to the Information In
this manual, be sure to consult flux and electrode
manufacturers MaterIal Safety Data Sheets
(MSDSs) for specifIc technical data and precautionary measures concerning their material.
A. Burn Prevention
Wear protective clothing-gauntlet gloves designed for
use in welding, hat, and high safety-toe shoes. Button
shirt collar and pocket flaps, and wear cuffless trousers
to avoid entry of sparks and slag.
Wear helmet with safety goggles and glasses with sideshields underneath, appropriate filter lenses or plates(protected by clear cover glass). This is a MUST for
welding or cutting, (and chipping) to protect the eyes
from radiant energy and flying metal. Replace cover
glass when broken, pitted, or spattered. See I -3A.2.
Avoid oily or greasy clothing. A spark may ignite them.
Hot metal such as electrode stubs and workpiecesshould never be handled without gloves.
Medical first aid and eye treatment. First aid facilities
and a qualified first aid person should be avadab~e for
each shift unless medical facilities are close by for im
mediate treatment of flash burns of the eyes and skin
burns.
Ear plugs should be worn when working on overhead or
in a confined space. A hard hat should be worn when
others work overhead.
Flammable hair preparations should not be used by perSons intending to weld or cut.
B. Toxic Fume Prevention
Severe discomfort, illness or death can result from
fumes, vapors, heat, or oxygen enrichment or depletionthat welding (or cutting) may produce. Prevent them
with adequate ventilation as described in ANSI Stan
dard Z49.1 listed in Standards Index. NEVER ventilate
with oxygen.
Lead -, cadmium-, zinc -, mercury-, and beryllium-bearing and similar materials, when welded (or cut) may produce harmful concentrations of toxic fumes. Adequatelocal exhaust ventilation must be used, or each personin the area as well as the operator must wear an air-supplied respirator. For beryllium, both must be used.
Metals coated with or containing materials that emit
toxic fumes should not be heated unless coating is re
moved from the work surface, the area is well ventilated
and, if necessary, while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
Work in a confined space only while it is being ventilated
and, if necessary, while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
Gas leaks in a confined space should be avoided.
Leaked gas in large quantities can change oxygen con
centration dangerously. Do not bring gas cylinders into a
confined space.
Leaving confined space, shut OFF gas supply at source
to prevent possible accumulation of gases in the space if
downstream valves have been accidentally opened or
left open. Check to be sure that the space is safe before
re-entering it.
Vapors from chlorinated solvents can be decomposedby the heat of the arc (or flame) to form PHOSGENE, a
highly toxic gas, and other lung and eye irritating products. The ultraviolet (radiant) energy of the arc can also
decompose trichloroethylene and perchioroethylenevapors to form phosgene. DO NOT WELD or cut where
solvent vapors can be drawn into the welding or cutting
OM-317 Page 1
atmosphere or where the radiant energy can penetrateto atmospheres containing even minute amounts of
trichioroethylene or perchioroethylene.
C. Fire and Explosion Prevention
Causes of fire and explosion are: combustibles reached
by the arc, flame, flying sparks, hot slag or heated mate
rial; misuse of compressed gases and cylinders; and
short circuits.
BE AWARE THAT flying sparks or falling slag can pass
through cracks, along pipes, through windows or doors,and through wall or floor openings, out of sight of the
goggled operator. Sparks and slag can fly 35 feet.
To prevent fires and explosion:
Keep equipment clean and operable, free of oil, grease,and (in electrical parts) of metallic particles that can
cause short circuits.
If combustibles are in area, do NOT weld or cut. Move
the work if practicable, to an area free of cdmbustibles.
Avoid paint spray rooms, dip tanks, storage areas, venti
lators. If the work cannot be moved, move combustibles
at least 35 feet away out of reach of sparks and heat; or
protect against ignition with suitable and snug-fitting,fire-resistant covers or shields.
Walls touching combustibles on opposite sides should
not be welded on (or cut). Walls, ceilings, and floor near
work should be protected by heat-resistant covers or
shields.
Fire watcher must be standing by with suitable fire extin
guishing equipment during and for some time afterweld
ing or cutting if:
a. appreciable combustibles (including buildingconstruction) are within 35 feet
b. appreciable combustibles are further than 35
feet but can be ignited by sparks
c. openings (concealed orvisible) in floors orwalls
within 35 feet may expose combustibles to
sparks
d. combustibles adjacent to walls, ceilings, roofs,or metal partitions can be ignited by radiant or
conducted heat.
Hot work permit should be obtained before operation to
ensure supervisor�s approval that adequate precautionshave been taken.
After work is done, check that area is free of sparks,glowing embers, and flames.
An empty container that held combustibles, or that can
produce flammable or toxic vapors when heated, must
never be welded on or cut, unless container has first
been cleaned as described in AWS Standard A6.O,listed 7 in Standards Index.
This includes: a thorough steam or caustic cleaning (ora solvent or water washing, depending on the combusti
ble�s solubility) followed by purging and inerting with ni
trogen or carbon dioxide, and using protective equip-
ment as recommended in A6.O. Waterfilling just below
working level may substitute for inerting.
A container with unknown contents should be cleaned
(see preceding paragraph). Do NOT depend on sense
of smell or sight to determine if it is safe to weld or cut.
Hollow castings or containers must be vented before
welding or cutting. They can explode.
Explosive atmospheres. Never weld or cut where the air
may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors (suchas gasoline).
D. Compressed Gas EquIpment
Standard precautions. Comply with precautions in this
manual, and those detailed in CGA Standard P-I, SAFEHANDLING OF COMPRESSED GASES IN CYLIN
DERS, listed 11 in Standards Index.
1. Pressure Regulators
Regulator relief valve is designed to protect only the
regulator from overpressure; it is not intended to protect
any downstream equipment. Provide such protectionwith one or more relief devices.
Never connect a regulator to a cylinder containing gasother than that for which the regulator was designed.
Remove faulty regulator from service immediately for
repair (first close cylinder valve). The following symptoms indicate a faulty regulator:
Leaks-if gas leaks externally.Excessive Creep-if delivery pressure continues to rise
with downstream valve closed.
Faulty Gauge-if gauge pointer does not move oft stoppin when pressurized, nor returns to stop pin after pressure release.
Repair. Do NOT attempt to repair. Send faulty regulators for repair to manufacturer�s designated repair center, where special techniques and tools are used bytrained personnel.
2. Cylinders
Cylinders must be handled carefully to prevent leaks
and damage to their walls, valves, or safety devices:
Avoid electrical Circuit contact with cylinders includingthird rails, electrical wires, or welding circuits. They can
produce short circuit arcs that may lead to a serious ac
cident. (See l-3C.)
ICC or DOT marking must be on each cylinder. it is an
assurance of safety when the cylinder is properly handled.
Identifying gas content. Use only cylinders with name of
gas marked on them; do not rely on color to identify gascontent. Notify supplier if unmarked. NEVER DEFACE
or alter name, number, or other markings on a cylinder.It is illegal and hazardous.
Empties: Keep valves closed, replace caps securely;mark MT; keep them separate from FULLS and return
promptly.
Prohibited use. Never use a cy�inder or its contents for
other than its intended use, NEVER as a support or
roUer.
OM-317 Page 2
Locate or secure cylinders so they cannot be knocked
over.
Passageways and work areas. Keep cylinders clear of
areas where they may be struck.
Transporting cylinders. With a crane, use a secure sup
port such as a platform or cradle. Do NOT lift cylindersoff the ground by their valves or caps, or by chains,
slings, or magnets.
Do NOT expose cylinders to excessive heat, sparks,slag, and flame, etc. that may cause rupture. Do not al
low contents to exceed 130°F. Cool with water spraywhere such exposure exists.
Protect cylinders particularly valves from bumps, falls,
falling objects, and weather. Replace caps securelywhen moving cylinders.
Stuck valve. Do NOT use a hammer or wrench to open a
cylinder valve that can not be opened by hand. Notify
your supplier.
Mixing gases. Never try to mix any gases in a cylinder.
Never refill any cylinder.
Cylinder fittings should never be modified or ex
changed.
3. Hose
Prohibited use. Never use hose other than that de
signed for the specified gas. A general hose identifica
tion rule is: red for fuel gas, green for oxygen, and black
for inert gases.
Use ferrules or clamps designed for the hose (not ordi
nary wire or other substitute) as a binding to connect
hoses to fittings.
No copper tubing splices. Use only standard brass fit
tings to splice hose.
Avoid long runs to prevent kinks and abuse. Suspendhose off ground to keep it from being run over, steppedon, or otherwise damaged.
Coil excess hose to prevent kinks and tangles.
Protect hose from damage by sharp edges, and bysparks, slag, and open flame.
Examine hose regularly for leaks, wear, and loose connections. immerse pressured hose in water; bubbles in
dicate leaks.
Repair leaky or worn hose by cutting area out and splicing (1 -2D3). Do NOT tape.
4. Proper Connections
Clean cylinder valve outlet of impurities that may clogorifices and damage seats before connecting regulator.Except for hydrogen, crack valve momentarily, pointing
outlet away from people and sources of ignition. Wipewith a clean lintless cloth.
Match regulator to cylinder. Before connecting, check
that the regulator label and cylinder marking area, and
that the regulator inlet and cylinder outlet match.
NEVER CONNECT a regulator designed for a particulargas or gases to a cylinder containing any other gas.
Tighten connections. When assembling threaded con
nections, clean and smooth seats where necessary.Tighten. If connection leaks, disassemble, clean, and
retighten using properly fitting wrench.
Adapters. Use a CGA adapter (available from your sup
plier) between cylinder arid regulator, if one is required.use two wrenches to tighten adapter marked RIGHT
and LEFT HAND threads.
Reguiatoroutiet(orhose) connections may be identified
by right hand threads for oxygen and left hand threads
(with grooved hex on nut or shank) for fuel gas.
5. Pressurizing Steps:
Drain regulator of residual gas through suitable vent be
fore opening cylinder (or manifold valve) by turning ad
justing screw in (clockwise). Draining prevents exces
sive compression heat at high pressure seat by allowingseat to open on pressurization. Leave adjusting screw
engaged slightly on single-stage regulators.
Stand to side of regulator while opening cylinder valve.
Open cylinder valve slowly so that regulator pressure in
creases slowly. When gauge is pressurized (gaugereaches regulator maximum) leave cylinder valve in fol
lowing position: For oxygen, and inert gases, open fullyto seal stem against possible leak. For fuel gas, open to
less than one turn to permit quick emergency shutoff.
Use pressure charts (availab�e from your supplier) for
safe and efficient, recommended pressure settings on
regulators.
Check for leaks on first pressurization and regularlythere-after. Brush with soap solution (capfull of IvoryLiquid* or equivalent per gallon of water). Bubbles indi
cate leak. Clean off soapy water afterlest; dried soap is
combustible.
E. User Responsibilities
Remove leaky or defective equipment from service im
mediately for repair. See User Responsibility statement
in equipment manual.
F. Leaving Equipment Unattended
Close gas supply at source and drain gas.
G. Rope Staging-Support
Rope staging-support should not be used for welding or
cutting operation; rope may bum.

1-3. ARC WELDING
Comply with precautions in 1-1, 1-2, and this section.
Arc Welding, property done, is a safe process, but a
careless operator invites trouble. The equipment carneshigh currents at significant voltages. The arc is very
bright and hot. Sparks fly, fumes rise, ultraviolet and in
frared energy radiates, weidments are hot, and com
pressed gases may be used. The wise operator avoids
unnecessary risks and protects himself and others from
accidents. Precautions are described here and in stan
dards referenced in index.
A. Burn Protection
Comply with precautions in 1-2.
The welding arc is intense and visibly bright. its radiation
can damage eyes, penetrate lightweight clothing, reflect
from light-colored surfaces, and burn the skin and eyes.
Skin burns resemble acute sunburn, those from gas-shielded arcs are more severe and painful. ~ONT GETBURNED; COMPLY WITH PRECAUTlOI~IS.
1. Protective Clothing
Wear long-sleeve clothing (particularly for gas-shieldedarc) in addition to gloves, hat, and shoes (1 -2A). As nec
essary, use additional protective clothing such as
leather jacket or sleeves, flame-proof apron, and fire-re
sistant leggings. Avoid outer garments of untreated cot
ton.
Bare skin protection. Wear dark, substantial clothing.Button collar to protect chest and neck and button pockets to prevent entry of sparks.
2. Eye and Head Protection
Protect eyes from exposure to arc. NEVER look at an
electric arc without protection.
Welding helmet or shield containing a filter plate shadeno. 12 or denser must be used when welding. Place over
face before striking arc.
Protect filter plate with a clear cover plate.
Cracked or broken helmet or shield should NOT be
worn; radiation can pass through to cause burns.
Cracked, broken, or loose filter plates must be replacedIMMEDIATELY. Replace clear cover plate when bro
ken, pitted, or spattered.
Flash goggles with side shields MUST be worn under
the helmet to give some protection to the eyes shouldthe helmet not be lowered over the face before an arc is
struck. Looking at an arc momentarily with unprotectedeyes (particularly a high intensity gas-shielded arc) cancause a retinal bum that may leave a permanent dark
area in the field of vision.
3. Protection of Nearby Personnel
Enclosed welding area. For production welding, a separate room or enclosed bay is best. in open areas, sur
round the operation with low-reflective, non-combusti
ble screens or panels. Allow for free air circulation, particularly at floor level.
Viewing the weld. Provide face shields for all personswho will be looking directly at the weld.
Others working in area. See that all persons are wearingflash goggles.
Before starting to weld, make sure that screen flaps or
bay doors are closed.
B. Toxic Fume Prevention
Comply with precautions in 1 -2B.
Generator engine exhaust must be vented to the outside
air. Carbon monoxide can kill.
C. Fire and ExplosIon Prevention
Comply with precautions in 1 -2C.
Equipment�s rated capacity. Do not overload arc weld
ing equipment. It may overheat cables and cause a fire.
Loose cable connections may overheat or flash and
cause a fire.
Never strike an arc on a cylinder or other pressure vessel. It creates a brittle area that can cause a violent rupture or lead to such a rupture under rough handling.
D. Compressed Gas Equipment
Comply with precautions in 1 -2D.
E. Shock Prevention
Exposed hot conductors or other bare metal in the weld
ing circuit, or in ungrounded, electrically-HOT equipment can fatally shock a person whose body becomes a
conductor. DO NOT STAND, SIT, LIE, LEAN ON, OR
TOUCH a wet surface when welding, without suitable
protection.
To protect against shock:
Wear dry insulating gloves and body protection. Keepbody and clothing dry. Never work in damp area without
adequate insulation against electrical shock. Stay on a
dry duckboard, or rubber mat when dampness or sweat
can not be avoided. Sweat, sea water, or moisture be
tween body and an electrically HOT part or groundedmetal reduces the electrical resistance, and could en
able dangerous and possibly lethal currents to flow
through the body.
A voltage will exist between the electrode and any con
ducting object in the work circuit. Examples of conduct
ing objects include, but are not limited to, buildings, electrical tools, work benches, welding power source cases,
workpieces, etc. Never touch the electrode and anymetal object unless the welding power source Is off.
1. Grounding the Equipment
Arc welding equipment must be grounded according to
the National Electrical Code, and the work must be
grounded according to ANSI Z49.1 �Safety In WeldingAnd Cutting.�
When installing, connect the frames of each unit such as
welding power source, control, worktable, and water ci r

electrically HOT by stray current may shock, possibly fa
tally. Do NOT GROUND to electrical conduit, orto a pipecarrying ANY gas or flammable liquid such as oil or fuel.
Three-phase connection. Check phase requirements of
equipment before installing. If only 3-phase power is
available, connect single-phase equipment to only two
wires of the 3-phase line: Do NOT connect the equipment ground lead to the third (live) wire, or the equipment will become electrically HOT-a dangerous condi
tion that can shock, possibly fatally.
Before welding, check ground for continuity. Be sure
conductors are touching bare metal of equipmentframes at connections.
If a line cord with a ground lead is provided with the
equipment for connection to a switchbox, connect the
ground lead to the grounded switchbox. If a three-prongplug is added for connection to a grounded mating re
ceptacle, the ground lead must be conne~cted to the
ground prong only. If the line cord comes with a three-
prong plug, connect to a grounded mating receptacle.Never remove the ground prong from a plug, or use a
plug with a broken off ground prong.
2. Electrode Holders
Fully insulated electrode holders should be used. Do
NOT use holders with protruding screws.
3. Connectors
Fully insulated lock-type connectors should be used to
join welding cable lengths.
4. Cables
Frequently inspect cables forwear, cracks and damage.IMMEDIATELY REPLACE those with excessively wornor damaged insulation to avoid possibly-lethal shock
from bared cable. Cables with damaged areas may be
taped to give resistance equivalent to original cable.
Keep cable dry, free of oil and grease, and protectedfrom hot metal and sparks.
5. Terminals And Other Exposed Parts
Terminals and other exposed parts of electrical units
should have insulating covers secured before operation.
6. Electrode
a. Equipment with output on/oft control (contactor)
Welding power sources for use with the gasmetal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc
welding (GTAW) and similar processes nor
mally are equipped with devices that permit onoff control of the welding power output. Whenso equipped the electrode wire becomes elec
trically HOT when the power source switch is
ON and the welding gun switch is closed. Nevertouch the electrode wire or any conducting object in contact with the electrode circuit unlessthe welding power source is off.
b. Equipment without output on/off control (nocontactor)
Welding power sources used with shielded
metal arc welding (SMAW) and similar processes may not be equipped with welding poweroutput on-oft control devices. With such equipment the electrode is electrically HOT when the
power switch is turned ON. Never touch the
electrode unless the welding power source is
off.
7. Safety Devices
Safety devices such as interlocks and circuit breakers
should not be disconnected or shunted out.
Before installation, inspection, or service, of equipment,shut OFF all power and remove line fuses (or lock or
red-tag switches) to prevent accidental turning ON of
power. Disconnect all cables from welding power
source, and pull all 115 volts line-cord plugs.
Do not open power circuit or change polarity while welding. It, in an emergency, it must be disconnected, guardagainst shock bums, or flash from switch arcing.
Leaving equipment unattended. Always shut OFF and
disconnect all power to equipment.
Power disconnect switch must be available near the
welding power source.
F. Protection For Wearers of Electronic Life Support Devices (Pacemakers)
Magnetic fields from high currents can affect pacemakeroperation. Persons wearing electronic life supportequipment (pacemaker) should consult with their doctor
before going near arc welding, gouging, or spot weldingoperations.

3-1. VOLT-AMPERE CURVES (Chart 3-1)
(34. RATED OUTPUT
The volt-ampere curves show the voltage and amper
age output capabilities of the welding power source.
Voltage and amperage adjustment is provided by the
AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT Control. Curves of other
settings fall between the curves shown.
With the use of the volt-ampere curves, it is possible to
determine the weld amperage at any particular load volt
age.
The duty cycle is the percentage of a ten minute periodthat a welding power source can be operated at a givenoutput without overheating and damaging the unit. This
welding power source is rated at 60% duty cycle when
operated at 400 amperes. The unit can be operated at
400 amperes for six consecutive minutes, but it must operate at no load for the remaining four minutes to allow
proper cooling. If the welding amperes decrease, the
duty cycle increases.
Refer to the Duty Cycle chart (Chart 3-2) to determine
the output of the welding power source at various dutycycles.
3-3. DESCRIPTION
This unit produces constant current ac/dc weld outputfor the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process.This unit requires single-phase input power of the volt
age specified on the nameplate.

this unit for legibility. All precautionary labels must be
maintained in a clearly readable state and replacedwhen necessary. See Parts List for part number of
precautionary labels.
OM-317 Page 14
MOVING PARTS can cause serious injury. 7-3. THERMAL PROTECTION (FIgure 5-1)� Keep away from moving parts.
HOT SURFACES can cause severe burns.
� Allow cooling period before servicing.
Maintenance to be performed only by qualifiedpersons.
Table 7-1. MaIntenance Schedule
Frequency� Maintenance
Every month. Units in heavy service environ
ments:
Check labels, weld cables, clean
internal parts.
Every 3 months. Check weld cables (see Section
7-1B).
Every 6 months. Check all labels (see iMPORTANT block, Section 7-1). Clean
internal parts (see Section 7-IC).
�Frequency of service is based on units operated40 hours per week. Increase frequency of maint
enance it usage exceeds 40 hours per week.
A. Fan Motor
This unit is equipped with an exhaust fan and relies on
forced draft for adequate cooling. The fan motor is
manufactured with lifetime sealed bearings and re
quires no maintenance.
B. Weld Cables
a WARNING: Read and follow safety Information at beginning of entire SectIon 7-1 before proceeding.
Every three months inspect cables for breaks in insula
tion. Repair or replace cables it insulation breaks are
present. Clean and tighten connections at each inspection.
C. Internal Cleaning
a WARNING: Read and follow safety Information at beginning of entire Section 7-1 before proceeding.
Every six months blow Out or vacuum dust and dirt from
the inside of the welding power source. Remove the
outer enclosure, and use a clean, dry airstream or vac
uum suction for the cleaning operation. If dusty or dirtyconditions are present, clean the unit monthly.
7-2. OVERLOAD PROTECTION (Figure 5-1)
Control circuit overload protection is provided by the
CONTROL CIRCUIT OVERLOAD BREAKER CB1.
Should an overload occur, CB1 would open and the contactor W would drop out (deenergize) stopping all out
put. Manually depress the circuit breaker to reset it.
The main transformer is protected by a thermostat TP1.
The thermostat opens it the transformer overheats,
shutting down the welding power source. The thermo
stat will automatically reset after cooling period of approximately fifteen minutes. Depress the POWER
switch ON push button to reset the welding powersource.
7-4. VOLTAGE REDUCER CIRCUIT OPERATION
A voltage reducer circuit board PC2 and related components in the unit automatically reduce open-circuit volt
age when no welding arc is present. Before starting or
after breaking a welding arc, the unit open-circuit volt
age is automatically reduced to 36 volts ac or 32 volts
dc. Once the electrode makes contact with the
workpiece, the voltage reducer circuitry disengages al
lowing the unit to provide rated weld output for normal
arc starting.Circuit Board
