This is a MUST for welding or cutting, (and chipping) to protect the eyes from radiant energy and flying metal. Replace cover glass when broken, pitted, or spattered. Wear helmet with safety goggles or See 1-3A.2. If combustibles are in area, do NOT weld or cut. Move the work if practicable, to an area free of combustibles.

Cylinders Cylinders must be handled carefully to prevent teaks and damage to their walls, valves, or safety devices: Avoid electrical Circuit contact with cylinders including third rails, electrical wires, or welding circuits. They can produce short circuit arcs that may lead to a serious accident. (See Repair leaky or 4. hose by cutting worn (1-2D3). Do NOT use area Out and splicing tape. Proper Connections Clean cylinder valve outlet of impurities that may clog orifices and damage seats before connecting regulator. Except for hydrogen, crack valve momentarily, pointing outlet away from people and sources of ignition. Wipe with a clean lintless cloth. Match regulator to cylinder. Before connecting, check that the regulator label and cylinder marking agree, and that the regulator inlet and cylinder outlet match.

Pressurizing Steps: Drain regulator of residual gas through suitable vent before opening cylinder (Or manifold valve) by turning adjusting screw in (clockwise). Draining prevents excessive compression heat at high pressure seat by allowing seat to open on pressur ization. Leave adjusting screw engaged slightly on single-stage regulators. Stand to side of regulator while opening cylinder valve. Open cylinder valve slowly so that regulator pressure in slowly. When gauge is pressurized (gauge reaches regu lator maximum) leave cylinder valve in following position: For oxygen, and inert gases, open fully to seal stem against possible leak. For fuel gas, open to less than one turn to permit quick emergency shutoff. creases Do NOT expose cylinders to excessive heat, sparks, slag, and etc. that may cause rupture.

Shock Prevention Exposed hot conductors or other bare metal in the welding circuit, or in ungrounded, electrically-HOT equipment can fatally shock a person whose body becomes a conductor. DO NOT STAND, SIT, LIE, LEAN ON, OR TOUCH a wet sur face when welding, without suitable protection. Clothing To protect Wear long-sleeve clothing (particularly for gas-shielded arc) in addition to gloves, hat, and shoes (1-2A). As necessary, use additional protective clothing such as leather jacket or sleeves, flame-proof apron, and fire-resistant leggings. Avoid outergarments of untreated cotton. against shock: Keep body and clothing dry. Never work in damp area with out adequate insulation against electrical shock. Stay on a dry duckboard, or rubber mat when dampness or sweat can not be avoided.

Matching The Welding Power Source To The Avail Voltage able Input for The input voltage jumper links provided on the primary ter minal board permit the welding power source to be operated from various line voltages. The various voltages from which this unit may be operated are stated on the nameplate and on . the input voltage label. The input voltage jumper links are positioned for the highest of the voltages stated on the nameplate. If the welding power source is to be operated from a line voltage which is lower than the highest voltage for which the unit was designed, the jumper links will have to be moved to the proper positions before operating the unit. Figure 3-3 shows the various positions of the jumper links on the standard welding power source. If the input voltages on the nameplate differ from those shown in Figure 3-3, the input voltage jumper links must be positioned as shown on the input voltage label. NOTE If only one jumper link is required on each of the grouped terminals, it is recommended that the unused jumper links be placed across the terminals which are to be used. This will prevent losing the jumper links which are not required for this connection. TB-079 825 Figure 3-2. Input Conductor Connections Table 3-2.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION Thermostat TP1, located in the main transformer, is wired into the contactor W coil circuit. Should overheating occur, TP1 would open causing the contactor to drop out thereby suspending all operations. If TP1 opens, allow the unit to cool before resuming operations. Circuit breaker CB protects the welding power source from excessive secondary current draw. Current transformer CT1 and CT2, located in the secondary of the main transformer, sense the secondary current draw. Should overloading occur, CB would open causing the contactor to drop Out thereby suspending all operations. 2000 MODEL 1500 GPS-1500 U UI < 0 z 0 -J UI GPS -10 00 1000 To place the welding power source in a ready-to-weld status should this circuit breaker trip, the circuit breaker should be manually reset. Should the circuit breaker continue to trip after each reset, an internal problem in the circuitry is most probably present. Do not attempt any further welding until the trouble has been remedied. 40 4-4. welding 70 80 90 100 B.079 809 Figure 4-2. Duty Cycle Chart DUTY CYCLE The duty cycle of a welding power source is the percentage of a ten minute period that a welding power source can safely be operated at a given output. This welding power source is rated at 100 percent duty cycle. This means that the welding power source can be safely operated at rated load contin uously. Figure 4-2 enables the operator to determine the safe output of the welding power source at various duty cycles.
