SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
• Turn the input power OFF at the

welding power source before
installation or changing drive rolls
and/or guides.

• Do not touch electrically live parts.
• When inching with the gun trigger,

electrode and drive mechanism are
"hot" to work and ground and
could remain energized several
seconds after the gun trigger is
released.

• Welding power source must be connected to

system ground per the National Electrical Code
or any applicable local codes.

• Only qualified personnel should perform mainte-

nance work.

WELD CABLE SIZE

Table A.1 located below are copper cable sizes rec-
ommended for different currents and duty cycles.
Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to
work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are
increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose
of minimizing cable drop.
