SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU Lincoln arc welding and cutting equipment is designed and built with safety in mind. However, your overall safety can be increased by proper installation ... and thoughtful operation on your part. DO NOT INSTALL, OPERATE OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT READING THIS MANUAL AND THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED THROUGHOUT. And, most importantly, think before you act and be careful. WARNING This statement appears where the information must be followed exactly to avoid serious personal injury or loss of life. CAUTION This statement appears where the information must be followed to avoid minor personal injury or damage to this equipment. KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES. DON’T get too close to the arc. Use corrective lenses if necessary to stay a reasonable distance away from the arc. READ and obey the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and the warning label that appears on all containers of welding materials. USE ENOUGH VENTILATION or exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area. IN A LARGE ROOM OR OUTDOORS, natural ventilation may be adequate if you keep your head out of the fumes (See below). USE NATURAL DRAFTS or fans to keep the fumes away from your face. If you develop unusual symptoms, see your supervisor. Perhaps the welding atmosphere and ventilation system should be checked. WEAR CORRECT EYE, EAR & BODY PROTECTION PROTECT your eyes and face with welding helmet properly fitted and with proper grade of filter plate (See ANSI Z49.1). PROTECT your body from welding spatter and arc flash with protective clothing including woolen clothing, flame-proof apron and gloves, leather leggings, and high boots. PROTECT others from splatter, flash, and glare with protective screens or barriers. IN SOME AREAS, protection from noise may be appropriate. BE SURE protective equipment is in good condition. Also, wear safety glasses in work area AT ALL TIMES. SPECIAL SITUATIONS DO NOT WELD OR CUT containers or materials which previously had been in contact with hazardous substances unless they are properly cleaned. This is extremely dangerous. DO NOT WELD OR CUT painted or plated parts unless special precautions with ventilation have been taken. They can release highly toxic fumes or gases. Additional precautionary measures PROTECT compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, and arcs; fasten cylinders so they cannot fall. BE SURE cylinders are never grounded or part of an electrical circuit. REMOVE all potential fire hazards from welding area. ALWAYS HAVE FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT READY FOR IMMEDIATE USE AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT. Safety 01 of 04 - 06/15/2016 SAFETY SECTION A: WARNINGS CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS Diesel Engines Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Gasoline Engines The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. ARC WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING. Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommended that you purchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS. 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. 1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot. 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. 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.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. 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 02 of 04 - 06/15/2016 SAFETY ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. ARC RAYS CAN BURN. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 hardfacing (see instructions on container or SDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation unless exposure assessments indicate otherwise. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may also be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel. 5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by various factors including proper use and positioning of the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure level should be checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits. 3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock. 5.c. 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. 3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8. 5.d. 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.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer’s safety practices. SDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer. 5.f. Also see item 1.b. Safety 03 of 04 - 06/15/2016 SAFETY WELDING AND CUTTING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION. 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. 6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “Standard for Fire Prevention During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, MA 022690-9101. 6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing. CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED. 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, 14501 George Carter Way Chantilly, VA 20151. 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. Refer to http://www.lincolnelectric.com/safety for additional safety information.

It was manufactured in conformity with a national standard that implements a harmonized standard: EN 60974-10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment. It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It is designed for industrial and professional use. IntroduCtIon All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission. Electrical emission may be transmitted through power lines or radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter. When emissions are received by other equipment, electrical interference may result. Electrical emissions may affect many kinds of electrical equipment; other nearby welding equipment, radio and TV reception, numerical controlled machines, telephone systems, computers, etc. Warning: This Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electro-magnetic compatibility in those locations, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances. InstallatIon and use The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the welding equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as earthing (grounding) the welding circuit, see Note. In other cases it could involve constructing an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work complete with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are no longer troublesome. Note: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons. Follow your local and national standards for installation and use. Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is competent to assess whether the changes will increase the risk of injury, e.g., by allowing parallel welding current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment. assessment of area Before installing welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account: a) other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables; above, below and adjacent to the welding equipment; b) radio and television transmitters and receivers; c) computer and other control equipment; d) safety critical equipment, e.g., guarding of industrial equipment; e) the health of the people around, e.g., the use of pacemakers and hearing aids; f) equipment used for calibration or measurement; g) the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equipment being used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures; h) the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out. The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises. methods of reduCIng emIssIons Public supply system Welding equipment should be connected to the public supply system according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of the system. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure. maintenance of the Welding equipment The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except for those changes and adjustments covered in the manufacturer’s instructions. In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Welding Cables The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at or close to the floor level. equipotential Bonding Bonding of all metallic components in the welding installation and adjacent to it should be considered. However, metallic components bonded to the work piece will increase the risk that the operator could receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode at the same time. The operator should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components. earthing of the Workpiece Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, nor connected to earth because of its size and position, e.g., ship’s hull or building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitance, selected according to national regulations. screening and shielding Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire welding installation may be considered for special applications.

Table A.1 shows copper cable sizes recommended for different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing cable drop.

A-9 POWER WAVE® R450 INSTALLATION CaBLE InduCtanCE and Its EFFECts On WELdIng Excessive cable inductance will cause the welding performance to degrade. There are several factors that contribute to the overall inductance of the cabling system including cable size, and loop area. The loop area is defined by the separation distance between the electrode and work cables, and the overall welding loop length. The welding loop length is defined as the total of length of the electrode cable (A) + work cable (B) + work path (C) (See Figure A.5). To minimize inductance always use the appropriate size cables, and whenever possible, run the electrode and work cables in close proximity to one another to minimize the loop area. Since the most significant factor in cable inductance is the welding loop length, avoid excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable. For long work piece lengths, a sliding ground should be considered to keep the total welding loop length as short as possible. CAUTION If the auto sense lead feature is disabled and remote voltage sensing is enabled but the sense leads are missing or improperly connected extremely high welding outputs may occur. General Guidelines for Voltage Sense Leads Sense leads should be attached as close to the weld as practical, and out of the weld current path when possible. In extremely sensitive applications it may be necessary to route cables that contain the sense leads away from the electrode and work welding cables. Voltage sense leads requirements are based on the weld process (See Table A.2) TABLE A.2 Electrode Voltage Sensing (1) Work Voltage Sensing (2) Process 67 lead 21 lead rEMOtE sEnsE LEad sPECIFICatIOns Voltage Sensing Overview The best arc performance occurs when the POWER WAVE® R450 has accurate data about the arc conditions. Depending upon the process, inductance within the electrode and work cables can influence the voltage apparent at the studs of the welder, and have a dramatic effect on performance. Remote voltage sense leads are used to improve the accuracy of the arc voltage information supplied to the control pc board. Sense Lead Kits (K940-xx) are available for this purpose. The POWER WAVE® R450 has the ability to automatically sense when remote sense leads are connected. With this feature there are no requirements for setting-up the machine to use remote sense leads. This feature can be disabled through the Weld Manager Utility (available at www.powerwavesoftware.com) or through the set up menu (if a user interface is installed into the power source).

(2) When a work voltage sense lead (21) is connected the power source will auto- matically switch over to using this feedback (if the auto sense feature is enable). (3) Negative polarity semi-automatic process operation WITHOUT use of a remote work sense lead (21) requires the Negative Electrode Polarity attribute to be set. (4) STT requires an STT or Advanced Module. FIGURE A.5 POWER WAVE R450 WORK A-10 POWER WAVE® R450 INSTALLATION Electrode Voltage Sensing The remote ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into the ArcLink control cable and is always connected to the wire drive feed plate when a wire feeder is present. Enabling or disabling electrode voltage sensing is application specific, and automatically configured by the active weld mode. CAUTION If the auto sense lead feature is disabled and the weld polarity attribute is improperly configured extremely high welding outputs may occur. Work Voltage Sensing While most applications perform adequately by sensing the work voltage directly at the output stud, the use of a remote work voltage sense lead is recommended for optimal performance. The remote WORK sense lead (21) can be accessed through the fourpin voltage sense connector located on the control panel by using the K940 Sense Lead Kit. It must be attached to the work as close to the weld as practical, but out of the weld current path. For more information regarding the placement of remote work voltage sense leads, see in this section entitled "Voltage Sensing Considerations for Multiple Arc Systems." Negative Electrode Polarity The POWER WAVE® R450 has the ability to automatically sense the polarity of the sense leads. With this feature there are no setup requirements for welding with negative electrode polarity. This feature can be disabled through the Weld Manager Utility (available at www.powerwavesoftware.com) or through the set up menu (if a user interface is installed into the power source). A-11 POWER WAVE® R450 INSTALLATION VOLtagE sEnsIng COnsIdEratIOns FOr MuLtIPLE arC systEMs Special care must be taken when more than one arc is welding simultaneously on a single part. Multiple arc applications do not necessarily dictate the use of remote work voltage sense leads, but they are strongly recommended. If Sense Leads ARE NOT Used: • Avoid common current paths. Current from adjacent arcs can induce voltage into each others current paths that can be misinterpreted by the power sources, and result in arc interference. If Sense Leads ARE Used: • Position the sense leads out of the path of the weld current. Especially any current paths common to adjacent arcs. Current from adjacent arcs can induce voltage into each others current paths that can be misinterpreted by the power sources, and result in arc interference. • For longitudinal applications, connect all work leads at one end of the weldment, and all of the work voltage sense leads at the opposite end of the weldment. Perform welding in the direction away from the work leads and toward the sense leads. (See Figure A.6) FIGURE A.6 CONNECT ALL SENSE LEADS AT THE END OF THE WELD.
