BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

FOR ENGINE powered equipment.
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running. ____________________________________________________ 1.b.Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot.

____________________________________________________ 1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated. ____________________________________________________ 1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment. ____________________________________________________ 1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts. ___________________________________________________ 1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running. ___________________________________________________ 1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire as appropriate.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines 2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding. 2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known. 2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit: 2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure them with tape when possible. 2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body. 2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side. 2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded. 2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

SAFETY
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically "hot" when the welder is on. Do not touch these "hot" parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

ii

ARC RAYS can burn.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards. 4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays. 4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground. In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use the following equipment: · Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder. · DC Manual (Stick) Welder. · AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control. 3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically "hot". 3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded. 3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground. 3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation. 3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling. 3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically "hot" parts of electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders. 3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock. 3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding with electrodes which require special ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV) using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel. 5.b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products. 5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe. 5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employer's safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer. 5.e. Also see item 1.b.

SAFETY
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. CYLINDER may explode if damaged.

iii

6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available. 6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to "Safety in Welding and Cutting" (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used. 6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard. 6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been "cleaned". For information, purchase "Recommended Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances", AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see address above). 6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode. 6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area. 6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail. 6.h. Also see item 1.c.

7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition. 7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support. 7.c. Cylinders should be located: · Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage. · A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame. 7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically "hot" parts to touch a cylinder. 7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve. 7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use. 7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, "Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders," available from the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

FOR ELECTRICALLY powered equipment.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment. 8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer's recommendations. 8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code and the manufacturer's recommendations.

Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suivantes: Sûreté Pour Soudage A L'Arc 1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique: a. Les circuits à l'électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans trous pour isoler les mains. b. Faire trés attention de bien s'isoler de la masse quand on soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse. c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonctionnement. d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l'eau pour le refroidir. e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le total de la tension à vide des deux machines. f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions pour le porte-électrode s'applicuent aussi au pistolet de soudage. 2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n'importe quelle partie du corps. 3. Un coup d'arc peut être plus sévère qu'un coup de soliel, donc: a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié ainsi qu'un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayonnement de l'arc et des projections quand on soude ou quand on regarde l'arc. b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de l`arc. c. Protéger l'autre personnel travaillant à proximité au soudage à l'aide d'écrans appropriés et non-inflammables. 4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l'arc de soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres de l'huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes. 5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de prévenir tout risque d'incendie dû aux étincelles. 7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un échauffement et un risque d'incendie. 8. S'assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de la zone de travail qu'il est pratique de le faire. Si on place la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d'autres endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des risques d'incendie ou d'echauffement des chaines et des câbles jusqu'à ce qu'ils se rompent. 9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage. Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui produit des fumeés toxiques. 10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant d'opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La chaleur ou les rayons de l'arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique) ou autres produits irritants. 11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir le code "Code for safety in welding and cutting" CSA Standard W 117.2-1974.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR LES MACHINES À SOUDER À TRANSFORMATEUR ET À REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de l'électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une bonne mise à la terre. 2. Autant que possible, I'installation et l'entretien du poste seront effectués par un électricien qualifié. 3. Avant de faires des travaux à l'interieur de poste, la debrancher à l'interrupteur à la boite de fusibles. 4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur place.

QUICK DISCONNECT PLUG

A-4

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure A.1 for the location of the output terminals. A quick-disconnect system using Twist-MateTM cable plugs is used for the welding cable connections. The electrode and work cables included with the machine have these plugs. An extra plug is also included with the machine if TIG welding is desired. Refer to the relevant instructions below for more information on connecting the machine for either of these two welding processes.

A quick disconnect system is used for the welding cable connections. The electrode and work cables have the plug attached, on both machines an additional plug is supplied if TIG welding is to be done. The welding plug included with the machine is designed to accept a welding cable size of #6 to #4 (10mm2 to 25mm2). 1. Cut off welding cable lug, if present. 2. Remove .75 in. (19mm) of welding cable insulation. 3. Slide rubber boot onto cable end. The boot end may be trimmed to match the cable diameter. Use soap or other nonpetroleum-based lubricant to help slide the boot over the cable, if needed.
BOOT WELDING CABLE

OUTPUT CONNECTION FOR STICK WELDING
First determine the proper electrode polarity for the electrode to be used. Consult the electrode data for this information. Then connect the output cables to the output terminals corresponding to this polarity. For instance, for DC(+) welding, connect the electrode cable (which is connected to the electrode holder) to the "+" output terminal and the work cable (which is connected to the work clamp) to the "-" output terminal. Insert the connector with the key lining up with the keyway, and rotate approximately 1/4 turn clockwise; until the connection is snug. Do not over tighten.

WELDING CABLE

OUTPUT AND GAS CONNECTION FOR TIG WELDING
These units do not include a TIG torch, but one may be purchased separately and used with these units to do TIG (GTAW) welding. The Lincoln LA-9 (K859-3 or K859-7 only; no gas valve) and LA-17V (K860-11 or K860-15 only; includes gas valve) are recommended for use with these machines for this purpose; however, any similar TIG torch can be used. If the torch to be used does not have a mating Twist-Mate plug on the end of the power cable, the power cable must be modified to include one. The LA-9 and LA-17V fall in this category. Cut off the lug on the end of the power cable and attach the extra Twist Mate plug included with the machine to the power cable per the instructions following under QUICK DISCONNECT PLUG. Next connect the torch cable to the appropriate output terminal on the machine. Most TIG welding is done with DC(-) polarity. For this polarity, connect the torch plug to the "-" output terminal on the machine. Insert the connector with the key lining up with the keyway, and rotate approximately 1/4 turn clockwise; until the connection is snug. Do not over tighten. Connect the work cable (which is connected to the work clamp) to the "+" output terminal in the same way. Finally, connect the gas hose to the gas regulator on the cylinder of gas to be used. The machine can easily be switched between stick and TIG welding at any time by simply swapping the stick (electrode) and TIG (torch) cables, and reversing the connection polarity if required.

CONSTANT CURRENT PROCESSES
MANUAL ARC WELDING (STICK)
The Invertec may be utilized as a manual DC arc welder. The electrode cable and holder and the work cable and clamp are included. Excellent stick welding performance is easily achieved with the following electrodes and current settings: Machine V100-S Electrode Fleetweld 35 Fleetweld 180 Fleetweld 37 LH-78 Fleetweld 35 Fleetweld 180 Fleetweld 37 LH-78 Diameter 3/32" Max 3/32"Max 3/32" Max 3/32" Max 1/8" Max 1/8" Max 1/8" Max 1/8" Max Current 90 Amps 90 Amps 100 Amps 100 Amps 100 Amps 100 Amps 115 Amps 130 Amps

The machine is electrically protected from producing excessive currents. The maximum current obtainable with the V100-S is approximately 120 amps, and that of the V130-S is approximately 150 amps.

THERMAL PROTECTION
Thermostats protect the machine from excessive operating temperatures. Excessive temperatures may be caused by a lack of cooling air or operating the machine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. If excessive operating temperature should occur, the thermostats will prevent output voltage or current. Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine cools sufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was caused by excessive output or duty cycle and the fan is operating normally, the Power Switch may be left on and the reset should occur within a 15 minute period. If the fan is not operating or if the air flow is obstructed, this problem must be resolved before continuing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------5.

INPUT FILTER CAPACITOR DISCHARGE PROCEDURE WARNING
The machine has internal capacitors which are charged to a high voltage during power-on conditions. This voltage is dangerous and must be discharged before the machine can be serviced. Discharging is done automatically by the machine each time the power is switched off. However, you must allow the machine to sit for at least 5 minutes to allow time for the process to take place. -----------------------------------------------------------------------6.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1. Perform the following preventive maintenance procedures at least once every thousand hours of use. It is good practice to keep a preventive maintenance record; a record tag attached to the machine works best. Remove the machine cover (requires a 3 mm hex key) after allowing the minimum 5 minute power off requirement to let the input capacitors discharge.

2.

WARNING
Failure to observe this discharge time requirement could result in severe electrical shock hazard. -----------------------------------------------------------------------3. Keeping the machine clean will result in cooler operation and higher reliability. Be sure to clean the following areas with a low pressure air stream. INVERTEC® V100-S & V130-S
