1-3. California Proposition 65 Warnings
Y Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which
contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause
birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health &
Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
Y Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
1-4. EMF Information
Considerations About Welding Or Cutting And The Effects Of Low
Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields
Welding or cutting current, as it flows through the welding or cutting
cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is
some concern about such fields. However, after examining more than
500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon
committee of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body
of evidence, in the committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that
exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-
health hazard.” However, studies are still going forth and evidence
continues to be examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are
reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic
fields when welding or cutting.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following proce-
TM-227 841 Page 2
CUTTING can cause fire or explosion.
D Protect yourself and others from flying sparks
and hot metal.
D Do not cut where flying sparks can strike flam-
mable material.
D If test cuts are required, follow Safety Precautions in Owner’s
Manual and on safety label(s).
NOISE can damage hearing.
Prolonged noise from some cutting applications can
damage hearing if levels exceed limits specified by
OSHA (see Safety Standards).
D Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise level is high.
D Warn others nearby about noise hazard.
OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING.
D Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.
D Reduce amperage (thickness) or reduce duty
cycle before starting to cut again.
D Do not block or filter airflow to unit.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
D Use Testing Booklet (Part No. 150 853) when
servicing this unit.
D Consult the Owner’s Manual for cutting safety
precautions.
D Use only genuine replacement parts from the
manufacturer.
For Gasoline Engines:
Y Engine exhaust contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm.
For Diesel Engines:
Y Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known
to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and
other reproductive harm.
dures:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep cutting power source and cables as far away from operator
as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the cut as possi-
ble.
About Pacemakers:
Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor before welding or going near
welding operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above
procedures is recommended.

3-1. Specifications

NOTE If the unit is operated from a 30* ampere, 115 volt circuit or a 15** ampere, 230 volt
circuit, a different input power plug must be installed on the power cord. See
Section 3-9 for instructions.

*A 30 ampere branch circuit is recommended for maximum performance. Performance on a 20 ampere branch service may be limited due to the circuit
breaker or line fuse. Reducing unit output amperage will minimize circuit breaker tripping or blowing a line fuse.
**A 15 ampere branch circuit is recommended for maximum performance. Performance on a 10 ampere branch service may be limited due to the circuit
breaker or line fuse. Reducing unit output amperage will minimize circuit breaker tripping or blowing a line fuse.

7-3. Checking/Replacing Retaining Cup, Tip, And Electrode

Overtightening will cause poor cutting performance. Do not overtighten retaining

cup during assembly. Do not cross-thread parts causing stripping. Use care
during torch assembly and parts replacement.

Inspect shield cup, tip, and electrode for wear before cutting or whenever cutting speed has been significantly
reduced. Do not operate torch without a tip or electrode in place. Be sure to use genuine replacement parts.

A good practice is to replace both the tip and electrode at the same time.

Turn Off power source before checking torch parts.
