MAKING A WELD
The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing the
LN-15 wire feeder is and must be the sole responsibil-
ity of the builder/user. Many variables beyond the con-
trol of The Lincoln Electric Company affect the results
obtained in using the LN-15 wire feeder. These vari-
ables include, but are not limited to, welding proce-
dure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment
design, fabrication methods and service requirements.
The available range of the LN-15 wire feeder may not
be suitable for all applications, and the builder/user is
and must be solely responsible for welding settings.
• Close the door on the LN-15.
• Connect the work cable to the metal to be welded.
The work cable must make good electrical contact to
the work. The work must also be grounded as stated
in "Arc Welding Safety Precautions".
• Connect the LN-15 electrode cable to the power
source for the polarity and process to be used.
Check that the appropriate power source settings are
made for the procedure to be used. (Refer to the
power source operating and connection instructions.)
• Place the LN-15 conveniently near the work area in a
safe location to minimize exposure to weld spatter
and to avoid sharp bends in the gun cable.
• Connect the LN-15 work clip to the work.
• Be sure the proper contact tip for the wire size being
used is in the gun.
• Turn on the welding power source, as well as the
shielding gas supply (if used.)
• Cut the electrode within approximately 3/8" (10mm)
of the end of the contact tip for solid wire and within
3/4" (19mm) of the extension guide for cored wire.
• Position the electrode over the joint. The end of the
electrode should be slightly off the work.
• Lower welding helmet, close the gun trigger and
begin welding. Hold the gun so the contact tip to work
distance gives the correct electrical stickout as
required for the procedure being used.
• To stop welding, release the gun trigger and the pull
the gun away from the work.
