Lincoln Electric IM926 EAGLE 10,000 - Manual (Page 20)

ARC GOUGING
The EAGLE™ 10,000 can be used for limited arc
gouging.
Set the Range switch to adjust output current to the
desired level for the gouging electrode being used
according to the ratings in the following table:

WELDING PROCESS
For any electrodes the procedures should be kept
within the rating of the machine. For electrode infor-
mation see the appropriate Lincoln publication.
Stick (Constant Current) Welding
Connect welding cables to the “+” and “-” studs. Start
the engine. The “RANGE” switch markings indicate
the maximum current for that range as well as the typ-
ical electrode size for that range. The “OUTPUT”
Control provides fine adjustment of the welding cur-
rent within the select range. For maximum output with-
in a selected range set the “OUTPUT” Control at 10.
For minimum output within a selected range set the
“OUTPUT” Control at 5. (“OUTPUT” Control settings
below 5 may reduce arc stability) For best overall
welding performance set the “RANGE” Switch to the
lowest setting and the OUTPUT” Control near the
maximum to achieve the desired welding current.

The Innershield
® electrode recommended for use with
the EAGLE™ 10,000 is NR ® -211-MP. The electrode
sizes and welding ranges that can be used with the
EAGLE™ 10,000 are shown in the following table:
The EAGLE™ 10,000 is recommended for limited
“MIG” welding (GMAW - gas metal arc welding). The
recommended electrodes are .030” and .035” L-50
and L-56. They must be used with a blended shield-
ing gas such as C25 (75% Argon - 25% CO
2
). The
welding ranges that can be used with the EAGLE™
10,000 are shown in the following table:

TIG (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING
The K930-[ ] TIG Module installed on a EAGLE™
10,000 provides high frequency and shielding gas
control for GTAW (TIG) welding processes. Output
Control is from the EAGLE™ 10,000. The control on
the TIG Module is not functional. After flow time is
adjustable from 0 to 55 seconds. A K814 Arc Start
Switch is required.
The K930-[ ] TIG Module should be used with the
EAGLE™ 10,000 on HIGH IDLE to maintain satisfac-
tory operation. It can be used in the AUTO position
but the delay going to flow idle after welding is ceased
will be increased if the AFTER FLOW CONTROL is
set above 10 seconds. A K814 Arc Start Switch is
required.
