GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES

A variety of Lincoln 10' (3.0m) or 15' (4.6m) gun and
cable assemblies are available for use with the LN-15,
including the Magnum™ models for GMAW, K126 or
K115 models for Innershield®.

The LN-15 comes factory equipped with a K1500-2
gun connection kit, designed for guns having a
Magnum Tweco™ compatible #2-#4 connector. Many
other guns can easily be used with the LN-15 with
other K1500 series gun connection kits.

Gun Cable Connection to the Feeder
Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector on the
welding conductor cable into the brass bushing on the
front of the wire drive unit. Keep the all mating surfaces
clean. Make sure it is fully seated and tighten the
thumb screw.

Connect the control cable plug into the 5 pin recepta-
cle on the front panel of the wire feeder.

ELECTRODE POLARITY

The LN-15 automatically adjusts for positive and nega-
tive polarity. When welding with negative polarity pro-
cedures, the voltmeter will display a "-" sign; example
"-23.6" Volts.

CONNECTIONS

Across the Arc LN-15 models do not use a control
cable.

• Do not touch electrically live parts

0such as the wire drive or internal wiring.
• When feeding with the gun trigger, the electrode
