OPERATION
8. ON-OFF SWITCH
The On-Off Switch turns the wire feeder power on and off. It does
not control the power to the welding power source.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Turn the input power OFF at the welding
power source before installation or chang-
ing 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.

builder/user. Many variables beyond the control of The Lincoln
Electric Company affect the results obtained in applying these
programs. These variables include, but are not limited to, weld-
ing pr ocedure, plate chemistry and tem perature, weldment
design, fabrication methods and service requirements. The avail-
able range of a welding program may not be suitable for all
applications, and the build/user is and must be solely responsi-
ble for welding program selection.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The steps for operating the Power Wave will vary depending upon
the user interface of the welding system. The flexibility of the
Power Wave lets the user customize operation for the best perfor-
mance.
First, consider the desired welding process and the part to be
welded. Choose an electrode material, diameter, shielding gas and
process (GMAW, GMAW-P, GMAW-STT™, etc.)
Second, find the program in the welding software that best match-
es the desired welding process. The standard software shipped
with the Power Waves encompasses a wide range of common
processes and will meet most needs. If a special welding program
is desired, contact the local Lincoln Electric sales representative.
All adjustments are made on the user interface. Because of the
different configuration options your system may not have all of the
following adjustments. Regardless of availability, all controls are
described below.
