Do not perform electric arc weldingoperations on metals that aregalvanized or cadmium plated, orcontain zinc, mercury, or berylliumwithout completing the followingprecautions:a. Remove the coating from the basemetal.b. Make sure that the welding area iswell ventilated.c. Use an air-supplied respirator.Extremely toxic fumes are createdwhen these metals are heated.The electromagnetic fieldthat is generated duringarc welding may interferewith the operation ofvarious electrical andelectronic devices such as cardiacpacemakers. Persons using such devicesshould consult with their physician priorto performing any electric arc weldingoperations. Route the wire gun and work cablestogether and secure with tape whenpossible. Never wrap arc welder cables aroundthe body. Always position the wire gun andwork leads so that they are on thesame side of the body. Exposure to electromagnetic fieldsduring welding may have otherhealth effects which are not known.Always be surethat the weldingarea is secure and free of hazards(sparks, flames, glowing metal or slag)prior to leaving. Be sure that equipmentis turned off and excess wire is cut off.Be sure that cables are loosely coiled andout of the way. Be sure that all metaland slag has cooled.ADDITIONAL SAFETY STANDARDSANSI Standard Z49.1 from AmericanWelding Society, 550 N.W. Le June Rd.Miami, FL 33126Safety and Health StandardsOSHA 29 CFR 1910, from Superintendentof Documents, U.S. Government PrintingOffice, Washington, D.C. 20402National Electrical CodeNFPA Standard 70, from National FireProtection Association, BatterymarchPark, Quincy, MA 02269! WARNING! WARNINGAssemblyWIRE INSTALLATIONNOTE: Before installing welding wire,be sure:a. Diameter of welding wire matchesgroove in drive roller on wire feedmechanism (See Fig. 2). The driveroller is marked with metric sizes:.6mm = .024”, .8 - .9mm = .030 –.035”b. Wire matches contact tip in end ofgun. (See Fig. 3).A mismatch on any item could cause thewire to slip and bind.NOTE: Always maintain control of looseend of welding wire to preventunspooling.1. Verify unit is off and open doorpanel to expose wire feedmechanism.2. Remove the spool quick lock bypushing in and rotating 1/4 turncounterclockwise. Then removeknob, spring and spool spacer.3. Flip tensioning screw down on drivemechanism. This allows initialfeeding of wire into gun liner byhand.4. Install wire spool onto spindle sowire can come off spool on the endclosest to the wire feed guide tube.Do not cut the wire loose yet.Install spool spacer, spring and quicklock knob by pushing in and turningknob 1/4 rotation clockwise.5. Hold wire and cut the wire end fromspool. Do not allow wire tounravel. Be sure end of wire isstraight and free of burrs.6. Feed wire through wire feed guidetube, over the groove in drive rollerand into gun liner. Flip tensioningscrew up and adjust tension by rotatingtensioning screw knob. Do notovertighten.7. Remove nozzle by turning counter-clockwise, then unscrew contact tipfrom end of welding torch (SeeFigure 3). Plug welder into a properpower supply receptacle.8. Turn on welder and set wire speedrate to 10. Activate gun trigger untilwire feeds out past the torch end.Turn welder off.9. Carefully slip contact tip over wireand screw tip into torch end. Installnozzle by turning clockwise (SeeFigure 3). Cut wire off approximately1/4 inch from nozzle end.3Safe Handling of Compressed Gasesin CylindersCGA Pamphlet P-1, from CompressedGas Association, 1235 Jefferson DavisHighway, Suite 501, Arlington, VA 22202Code for Safety in Welding andCuttingCSA Standard W117.2, from CanadianStandards Association, Standards Sales,178 Rexdale Boulevard, Rexdale,Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3Cutting And Welding ProcessesNFPA Standard 51B, from National FireProtection Association, BatterymarchPark, Quincy, MA 02269Safe Practices For Occupational AndEducational Eye And Face ProtectionANSI Standard Z87.1, from AmericanNational Standards Institute, 1430Broadway, New York, NY 10018Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheetsand the manufacturers instructions formetals, wire, coatings and cleaners.InstallationLOCATIONSelecting the proper location cansignificantly increase performance,reliability and life of the arc welder. For best results locate the welder inan environment that is clean and dry.Dust and dirt in the welder retainmoisture and increase wear ofmoving parts. Place the welder in an area thatprovides at least twelve inches (305mm) of ventilation space at both thefront and rear of the unit. Keep allobstructions away from thisventilation space. Store flux cored wire in a clean, drylocation with low humidity to reduceoxidation. The receptacle used for the weldermust be properly grounded and thewelder must be the only load on thepower supply circuit. Refer to theCircuit Amps chart on page 1 forcorrect circuit capacity. The use of an extension cord is notrecommended for electric arcwelding machines. The voltage dropin the extension cord maysignificantly degrade theperformance of the welder.Models WF2050, WF2054, WF2057 & WF2058www.chpower.com
