GENERAL SAFETY

Before installation or operation of T-Gun MIG Guns, please read the safety precautions listed below. 1. Always wear a properly fitted welding helmet with the proper grade of filter plate and suitable welding gloves. 2. All exposed skin should be covered with flame resistant, protective clothing. DO NOT WEAR CLOTHING MADE FROM FLAMMABLE SYNTHETIC FIBERS. 3. Protective screens or barriers should be used to protect others from spatter, flash and glare while welding. 4. Prevent fires by ensuring that hot slag or sparks do not contact combustible solids, liquids or gases. 5. Ensure that operator’s head is not too close to the arc and that adequate ventilation is available. 6. Constant repetitive motion may lead to cumulative trauma disorders. 7. Do not touch live electrical parts. The following should be checked to prevent electrical shock:

Equipment is adequate for the job, properly grounded and installed according to code.

Faulty or damaged equipment is repaired or replaced.

Proper operator maintenance is performed to prevent excess spatter accumulation in the nozzle, on the contact tip or other areas of the gun.

Electrical insulating components are in place and not damaged. Repair or replace if necessary.

Operator and his surroundings are not wet.

Cables are not wrapped around operator’s body.

Equipment is off when not in use. 8. CSA Standard W117.2 CODE FOR SAFETY IN WELDING AND CUTTING obtainable from the Canadian Standards

STEP #3

WARNING: Ensure water supply is on before operation.

Recheck proper gas flow, drive roll pressure, voltage and wire feed speed.

Water flow (minimum 0.5 gallon per minute).

1.3 INSTALLING T-GUN MIG GUNS EQUIPPED WITH “DIRECT PLUG-INS"

IMPORTANT: The thread-in two-piece power pin incorporates a taper to seat and lock the pin to the rear handle block. Make sure

power pin is tightened in the block with a wrench to insure pin is secure and will not come loose.

NOTE: The rear handle and screws do not have to be removed when installing the two-piece power pins.

Thread power pin into the rear handle block.

Tighten the power pin into the rear block using a 1 1/4” (32 mm) wrench on the rear block and a 5/8” (16 mm) or 3/4” (19 mm) wrench on the power pin.

Install liner. See Section 2.4 LINER REPLACEMENT.

Install gun to feeder. See Below. Most Power Pins

- Insert power pin to shoulder and secure. - Insert control plug to control housing of gun. - Insert control plug into feeder.

- Feed welding wire into power pin by hand and tighten drive rolls.

- On Lincoln it is necessary to connect gas hose to barbed fitting on power pin.

2.0 – MAINTENANCE

2.1 TREGASKISS™ NOZZLE AND TOUGH LOCK™ CONSUMABLES

IMPORTANT:

Neck insulator must be in place before welding to maintain insulation of neck armor.

Be sure all parts are tightened well before welding.

When using the heavy duty retaining head make sure it is tightened with a 7/16” wrench to prevent overheating of contact tip.

To prevent scoring on heavy duty retaining head DO NOT use pliers.

Removal and Replacement

Pull slip-on nozzles off with a clockwise twisting motion.

When installing nozzle, exposed insulator should nest inside neck insulator to assure concentricity.

Neck insulators are positioned on the end of the neck with the large insulated counter bore facing the nozzle.

Replace nozzle retainer with deep counter bore toward the neck. Tighten until retainer and neck insulator is secure.

2.2 SWITCH REPLACEMENT – 450/600 AMP

STEP #1

Remove both mounting screws with a 5/16” (8 mm) nut driver.

Ease switch out of switch housing by gently pulling up on leads.

Remove switch from switch lead connectors with needle nose pliers.
