1-2. Arc Welding Hazards

The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual
to call attention to and identify possible hazards. When you
see the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions
to avoid the hazard. The safety information given below is
only a summary of the more complete safety information
found in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-7. Read and
follow all Safety Standards.
Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and
repair this unit.
During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or
severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is
electrically live whenever the output is on. The input
power circuit and machine internal circuits are also live
when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire
welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all
metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically
live. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded
equipment is a hazard.
 Do not touch live electrical parts.
 Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
 Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats
or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work
or ground.
 Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if
there is a danger of falling.
 Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.
 If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on
unit.
 Additional safety precautions are required when any of the following electrically hazardous conditions are present: 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; or when there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these
conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a
semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual
(stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit voltage. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder
is recommended. And, do not work alone!
 Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or
servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
 Properly install, ground, and operate this equipment according to
its Owners Manual and national, state, and local codes.

 Always verify the supply ground check and be sure that input
power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in
disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle outlet.
 When making input connections, attach proper grounding conductor first double-check connections.
 Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal
and sparks.
 Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring
replace cord immediately if damaged bare wiring can kill.
 Turn off all equipment when not in use.
 Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
 Do not drape cables over your body.
 If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directly
with a separate cable.
 Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,
or another electrode from a different machine.
 Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged
parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.
 Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding machines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will be
present.
 Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
 Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
 Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece
or worktable as near the weld as practical.
 Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent
contact with any metal object.
 Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any
single weld output terminal. Disconnect cable for process not in
use.

SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter power

sources AFTER stopping engine.
 Stop engine on inverter and discharge input capacitors according
to instructions in Maintenance Section before touching any parts.

HOT PARTS can burn.

 Do not touch hot parts bare handed.
 Allow cooling period before working on equipment.
 To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns.

FLYING METAL or DIRT can injure eyes.

 Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding
cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool,
they can throw off slag.
 Wear approved safety glasses with side shields even under your
welding helmet.
OM-249 795 Page 1

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these
fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
 Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
 If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the
arc to remove welding fumes and gases.
 If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
 Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
and the manufacturers instructions for metals, consumables,
coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
 Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
 Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form
highly toxic and irritating gases.
 Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or
cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld
area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements
can give off toxic fumes if welded.

BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.

 Shut off compressed gas supply when not in use.
 Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved air-supplied respirator.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.





Arc rays from the welding process produce intense

visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that
can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter
lenses to protect your face and eyes from arc rays and sparks
when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in
Safety Standards).
Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your
helmet.
Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare, and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.

WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums,
or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks can fly off
from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot workpiece,
and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of
electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating,
or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding.
 Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If
this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.
 Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
 Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
 Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
 Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
 Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can
cause fire on the hidden side.

OM-249 795 Page 2

 Do not weld on containers that have held combustibles, or on

closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes unless they are
properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 and AWS A6.0 (see
Safety Standards).
 Do not weld where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust,
gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).
 Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as
practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly
unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire hazards.
 Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
 Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at
contact tip when not in use.
 Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy
shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
 Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,
from your person before doing any welding.
 After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks,
glowing embers, and flames.
 Use only correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or bypass them.
 Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B
for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
 Wear approved ear protection if noise level is
high.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS (EMF)

can affect Implanted Medical Devices.
 Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted
Medical Devices should keep away.
 Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor
and the device manufacturer before going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating
operations.

CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

Compressed gas cylinders contain gas under high
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since
gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process,

1-8. EMF Information

Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric
and magnetic fields (EMF). Welding current creates an EMF field
around the welding circuit and welding equipment. EMF fields may interfere with some medical implants, e.g. pacemakers. Protective
measures for persons wearing medical implants have to be taken. For
example, restrict access for passersby or conduct individual risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the following procedures
in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a
cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables
to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

OM-249 795 Page 6

4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the
welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recommended.

4-3. Fuel Consumption Curves
On a typical job using 1/8 in. 7018
electrodes (125 amps, 20% duty
cycle), expect about 20 hours of operation with carbureted engine (24
hours with EFI engine).

6-2. Description Of Front Panel Controls (See Section 6-1)

1 Process/Contactor Switch
See Section 6-4 for Process/Contactor
switch information.
2 And 3 Displays
Displays can show weld process information
(voltage and amperage) or maintenance information (hourmeter, oil change countdown, or rpm).
Meter Weld Functions: In Wire modes,
Voltmeter displays preset weld voltage
when not welding. Meters display actual voltage and amperage when welding and for five
seconds after welding has stopped.
In Stick and TIG modes, Voltmeter reads
ON and Ammeter displays preset amperage
when not welding. Meters display actual voltage and amperage when welding and for five
seconds after welding has stopped.
Meter Engine Maintenance Functions:
See inset from maintenance label.
For oil change interval, if negative hours are
indicated, CHNG OIL appears on the displays when the unit is started.
4 Voltage/Amperage Control
Use control to select weld voltage or
amperage. Control may be adjusted while
welding.
With Process/Contactor switch in any Stick
or TIG setting, use control to adjust amperage. With Process/Contactor switch in any

Wire position, use control to adjust voltage.

When a remote voltage/amperage control is
connected to Remote receptacle RC4, control sets the maximum amperage in Stick and
TIG modes, but has no effect in MIG modes.
5 Arc Control
See Section 6-4 for Arc Control information.
Control is not functional when one of the following modes is selected:
TIG
Gouge
Flux-Core
6 Fuel Level Indicator
With Engine running or Engine Control
switch in Run or Auto Speed position, LEDs
indicate fuel left in tank.
7 Engine Choke Control (Carbureted
Engines Only)
Use control to change engine air-fuel mix
when starting engine.
8 Engine Control Switch
Use switch to start engine, select speed, and
stop engine. In Auto Speed position, engine
runs at appropriate speed according to load
(see Section 6-4). In Run position, engine
runs at 3600 RPM.
Use switch in combination with meters to determine total engine hours and hours until
next recommended oil change (see items 2
and 3 earlier in this section).

To Start: pull out choke (if equipped) and

turn Engine Control switch to Start position.
Release switch when engine starts. Slowly
push in choke (if equipped).

 If

the engine does not start, let the

engine come to a complete stop before
attempting restart.

 During cold weather some gasoline en-

gines encounter difficulties that are easily remedied. See Section 6-3 and 8-11.
To Stop: turn Engine Control switch to Off
position.
9 Remote Receptacle RC4
Use receptacle to connect remote control or
wire feeder.
When a remote voltage/amperage control is
connected to the Remote receptacle, the
Auto Sense Remote feature automatically
switches voltage/amperage control to the remote control (see Sections 5-11 and 6-7).
With remote voltage/amperage control connected, weld output in CC mode is determined by a combination of front panel and remote control voltage/amperage settings. In
CV mode, weld output is controlled through
remote control only.
If no remote voltage/amperage control is
connected to the Remote receptacle, the
front panel Voltage/Amperage control adjusts voltage and amperage.

6-3. Cold Weather Engine Operation

1
1

Infrequently
Loaded

Engine Control Switch

Carburetor Icing
Carburetor icing causes the unit to drop below the normal idle speed and then
stall. This condition occurs when the temperature is near freezing and the relative humidity is high. Ice forms on the throttle plate and inner bore of the carburetor. The engine typically restarts without problems but soon stalls again.


Treat gasoline with a fuel deicer product (isopropyl alcohol).

Place the Engine Control switch in the Run position if infrequently loaded.

Run engine only when expecting to frequently load it.

Breather Icing
Frequently
Loaded

Oil breather/pulse line icing occurs in severe cold (continuously below 0F).
Moisture accumulates in the oil from piston ring blowby if the engine is extensively idled. This may cause vacuum line freezing, oil breather tube freezing
or ice in the carburetor. All of these cause operating problems. Due to ice in
the lines, the engine may not restart until it is warmed to above freezing.


Load engine and reduce idle times to prevent engine shutdowns.

Use an electric fuel pump to avoid pulse line freezing.

Install engine coldweather kit.

Kohler (1-800-544-2444) offers a kit for cold weather operation. The user can
install the kit. The kit pulls heated air from the muffler surface into the carburetor and shuts the cold air off. This increases engine temperature during operation in both idle and high speed.
Ref. 248 009

 When the ambient temperatures become warmer (above 45_F) the air
flow will have to be returned to normal.

250 916-A / 248 009-A

Process/Contactor Switch

Weld output terminals are energized

when Process/Contactor switch is
in an Output On position and the engine is running.

Use switch to select weld process and weld

output on/off control (see Table 6-1 and
Section 5-11).
Place switch in Remote positions to turn
weld output on and off with a device connected to the remote receptacle.
Place switch in Output On positions for
weld output to be on whenever the engine
is running.
2

Arc Control

Arc control is active for all Stick and Solid

Wire applications.
For both Stick and Solid Wire applications,
a good starting point is to set this control at
the .

For Stick applications, the Arc control varies additional amperage during short arc
length conditions.
For Solid Wire applications, the Arc control
varies inductance providing weld fluidity.
In setting shown above, output is available
when the engine is running. Stick process
is chosen using a XX18type electrode. Arc
Control is set for Soft and the value is
shown on the meters.
Engine Auto Speed
When Engine Control switch is in Auto
Speed position, the engine speed varies
depending on the welding load and Process/Contactor switch position.
For Gouge, the engine runs at 3600 rpm
and will return to idle about 9 seconds after
the arc is broken.
For Stick, based on preset, unit goes to the
next highest speed upon arc initiation and
transitions down one speed if power is appropriate for load.

For TIG, based on preset, unit goes to

speed appropriate for load at arc initiation.
Approximate Amperage/RPM Steps:
0 150 A = 2400 RPM
151 210 A = 2800 RPM
211 260 A = 3200 RPM
261 325 A = 3600 RPM
Engine returns to idle about 3 seconds after
the arc is broken if running at less than
2800RPM. If running at more than 3200
RPM, return to idle time is about 9 seconds.
For Solid Wire, unit goes to 3200 rpm upon
arc initiation and transitions down to appropriate speed for load.
Amperage/RPM Steps and return to idle are
the same as Stick/TIG.
For Flux-Core Wire, unit goes to 3600 rpm
upon arc initiation and transitions down to
appropriate speed for load.
Amperage/RPM Steps and return to idle are
the same as Stick/TIG.

Example 1: If a drill uses 4.5 amperes at 115 volts, calculate its running power requirement in watts.

4.5 A x 115 V = 520 W

The load applied by the drill is 520
watts.
Example 2: If three 200 watt flood
lamps are used with the drill from Example 1, add the individual loads to
calculate total load.
(3 x 200W) + 520 W = 1120 W
The total load applied by the three
flood lamps and drill is 1120 watts.

PHASE 1

Step 1: Find code and use table to

find kVA/HP. If code is not listed,
multiply running amperage by six to
find starting amperage.
Step 2: Find Motor HP and Volts.
Step 3: Determine starting amperage (see example).
Welding generator amperage output must be at least twice the
motors running amperage.
(kVA/HP x HP x 1000) / Volts =
Starting Amperage
Example: Calculate starting amperage required for a 230 V, 1/4 HP motor with a motor start code of M.
Volts = 230, HP = 1/4, kVA/HP =
11.2
(11.2 x 1/4 x 1000) / 230 = 12.2A
Starting the motor requires 12.2
amperes.

11-9. How Much Power Can Generator Supply?

1

Limit Load To 90% Of

Generator Output

Always start non-resistive (motor)

loads in order from largest to smallest, and add resistive loads last.
2

5 Second Rule

If motor does not start within 5

seconds, turn off power to prevent
motor damage. Motor requires
more power than generator can
supply.

Have only qualified persons

perform these connections
according to all applicable
codes and safety practices.

Properly install, ground, and

operate this equipment according to its Owners Manual and national, state, and local codes.

 Customer-supplied equipment

is required if generator will supply standby power during

emergencies or power outages.

1 Utility Electrical Service

Essential
Loads

2 Transfer Switch (Double-Throw)

Switch transfers the electrical load
from electric utility service to the
generator. Transfer load back to
electric utility when service is restored.
Install correct switch (customersupplied). Switch rating must be
same as or greater than the branch
overcurrent protection.
3 Fused Disconnect Switch
Install correct switch (customersupplied) if required by electrical
code.
4 Welding Generator Output
Generator output voltage and wiring must be consistent with regular
(utility) system voltage and wiring.
Connect generator with temporary
or permanent wiring suitable for the
installation.
Turn off or unplug all equipment
connected to generator before
starting or stopping engine. When
starting or stopping, the engine has
low speed which causes low voltage and frequency.
5 Essential Loads
Generator output may not meet the
electrical requirements of the premises. If generator does not produce
enough output to meet all requirements, connect only essential
loads (pumps, freezers, heaters,
etc. See Section 11-4).
