Lincoln Electric SVM141-A Welder User Manual


 
STICK WELDING
1. Turn the welder “on”. The digital ammeter/volt-
meter will illuminate when the power is on.
2. Set the Mode Switch to “STICK”. Set the output
current using the Output Control Knob. No other
functions or adjustments operate in the Stick
Mode.
3. Select the desired DC+/AC/DC- electrode polarity.
4. Clamp the electrode in the electrode holder, start
the weld by lightly touching the electrode to the
work. Stop the weld by pulling the electrode away
from the work piece.
AUXILIARY POWER
60 HERTZ DOMESTIC MACHINES
The Square Wave TIG 275 machines rated for 60 Hz
operation provides 10 amps of 115 volt AC power at a
standard NEMA 5-15R receptacle, located on the lower
case back of the machine. This circuit is protected
from shorts and overloading by a 10 amp circuit break-
er, located next to the receptacle. The auxiliary circuit
is intended for running water coolers and small power
tools, whose current draw is within the 10 amp rating.
Note that some types of equipment, especially pumps
and large motors, have starting currents which are sig-
nificantly higher than their running current. These high-
er starting currents may cause the circuit breaker to
open. If this situation occurs, the user should refrain
from using the Square Wave TIG 275 auxiliary for that
equipment.
50/60 HERTZ EUROPEAN MACHINES
The Square Wave TIG 275 machines rated for 50/60Hz
operation provides 2 amps of 220 volt AC power at a
continental European (Schuko) type receptacle, locat-
ed on the lower case back of the machine. This circuit
is protected from shorts and overloading by a 2 amp
circuit breaker, located above the receptacle. The aux-
iliary circuit is intended for running water coolers whose
current draw is within the 2 amp rating of the recepta-
cle. Note that some types of equipment, especially
pumps and motors, have starting currents which are
significantly higher than their running currents. These
higher starting currents may cause the circuit breaker
to open. If this situation occurs, the user should refrain
from using the Square Wave TIG 275 auxiliary for that
equipment.
