WARNING: These Safety Precautions are foryour protection. They summarize precaution-ary information from the references listed inAdditional Safety Information section. Before

performing any installation or operating procedures, besure to read and follow the safety precautions listed belowas well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets,labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions can resultin injury or death.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS --Some welding, cutting, and gougingprocesses are noisy and require earprotection. The arc, like the sun, emitsultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and

can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns.Training in the proper use of the processes and equip-ment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:

1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any workarea, even if welding helmets, face shields, and gogglesare also required.

2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and coverplates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and ears fromsparks and rays of the arc when operating or observingoperations. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc andnot to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arcor hot metal.

3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeveshirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a weld-ing helmet or cap for hair protection, to protect againstarc rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A flameproof apronmay also be desirable as protection against radiatedheat and sparks.

4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves,trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should bekept buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from thefront of clothing

5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparkswith a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains.

6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag orgrinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly far.Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat fromflames and arcs can start fires. Hot slagor sparks can also cause fires and ex-plosions. Therefore:

1. Remove all combustible materials well away from thework area or cover the materials with a protective non-flammable covering. Combustible materials include wood,cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints andcoatings, paper, etc.

2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks orcrevices in floors or wall openings and cause a hiddensmoldering fire or fires on the floor below. Make certainthat such openings are protected from hot sparks andmetal.“

3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until theworkpiece has been completely cleaned so that thereare no substances on the workpiece which might pro-duce flammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work onclosed containers. They may explode.

4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use,such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket, orportable fire extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in itsuse.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

10/98

5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example,overloaded welding cable can overheat and create a firehazard.

6. After completing operations, inspect the work area tomake certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal whichcould cause a later fire. Use fire watchers when neces-sary.

7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B,"Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Pro-cesses", available from the National Fire Protection Asso-ciation, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with liveelectrical parts and ground can causesevere injury or death. DO NOT use ACwelding current in damp areas, if move-ment is confined, or if there is danger offalling.

1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connectedto the ground system of the input power.

2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground.3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or

missing connection can expose you or others to a fatalshock.

4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or dam-aged cables.

5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work area,cables, torch/electrode holder, and power source.

6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated fromwork and from ground.

7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while workingin tight quarters or a damp area; stand on dry boards oran insulating platform and wear rubber-soled shoes.

8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the power.9. Turn off the power before removing your gloves.

10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on next page)for specific grounding recommendations. Do not mis-take the work lead for a ground cable.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS —May be dangerous. Electric current flow-ing through any conductor causes lo-calized Electric and Magnetic Fields(EMF). Welding and cutting current cre-ates EMF around welding cables andwelding machines. Therefore:

1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their physi-cian before welding. EMF may interfere with some pace-makers.

2. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which areunknown.

3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimizeexposure to EMF:A. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure

them with tape when possible.B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body.C. Do not place your body between the torch and work

cables. Route cables on the same side of your body.��

FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes andgases, can cause discomfort or harm,particularly in confined spaces. Donot breathe fumes and gases. Shield-ing gases can cause asphyxiation.Therefore:

1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area bynatural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or gougeon materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel,copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless positivemechanical ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumesfrom these materials.

2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying opera-tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinatedhydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxicgas, and other irritant gases.

3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritationwhile operating, this is an indication that ventilation is notadequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to im-prove ventilation in the work area. Do not continue tooperate if physical discomfort persists.

4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below)for specific ventilation recommendations.

5. WARNING: This product, when used for welding orcutting, produces fumes or gases whichcontain chemicals known to the State ofCalifornia to cause birth defects and, insome cases, cancer. (California Health &Safety Code �25249.5 et seq.)

CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders, ifmishandled, can rupture and violentlyrelease gas. Sudden rupture of cylin-der, valve, or relief device can injure orkill. Therefore:

1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the properpressure reducing regulator designed to operate fromthe compressed gas cylinder. Do not use adaptors.Maintain hoses and fittings in good condition. Followmanufacturer's operating instructions for mounting regu-lator to a compressed gas cylinder.

2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chainor strap to suitable hand trucks, undercarriages, benches,walls, post, or racks. Never secure cylinders to worktables or fixtures where they may become part of anelectrical circuit.

3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Havevalve protection cap in place if regulator is not con-nected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitablehand trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.

4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, and flames.Never strike an arc on a cylinder.

5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1,"Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases inCylinders", which is available from Compressed GasAssociation, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington,VA 22202.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE -- Faulty orimproperly maintained equipment cancause injury or death. Therefore:

1. Always have qualified personnel perform the installa-tion, troubleshooting, and maintenance work. Do notperform any electrical work unless you are qualified toperform such work.

2. Before performing any maintenance work inside a powersource, disconnect the power source from the incomingelectrical power.

3. Maintain cables, grounding wire, connections, powercord, and power supply in safe working order. Do notoperate any equipment in faulty condition.

4. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keepequipment away from heat sources such as furnaces,wet conditions such as water puddles, oil or grease,corrosive atmospheres and inclement weather.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

2.1 GENERAL

Due to the built-in shoulder strap, removable dust filter,and double insulated construction, the Miniarc 90i andMiniarc 140i can be located almost anywhere. However,it is suggested that the following steps be followedcarefully in order to help provide the best possibleoperation.

2.2 UNPACKING AND PLACEMENT

A. Immediately upon receipt of the equipment, inspectfor damage which may have occurred in transit.Notify the carrier of any defects or damage at once.

B. After removing the components from the shippingcontainer(s), check the container for any looseparts. Remove all packing materials.

C. Check air passages of power source for any pack-ing materials that may obstruct air flow through thepower source.

D. If the equipment is not to be installed immediately,store it in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area.

E. The location of the welding equipment should becarefully selected to ensure satisfactory and de-pendable service. Choose a location relatively closeto a properly fuse source of electrical power. TheMiniarc should be placed within easy reach of theobject to be welded.

F. The machine components are maintained at properoperating temperatures by forced air which is drawnthrough the cabinet by the fan unit on the rear panel.For this reason, it is important that the machine belocated in an open area where air can circulatefreely at front and rear openings. If space is at apremium, leave at least 1 foot of clearance betweenthe rear of the power source and wall or otherobstruction. Even though the Power Source isequipped with a removable dust filter, the areaaround the unit should be relatively free of dust,fumes, and excessive heat.

2.3 INPUT CONNECTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Precautionary mea-sures should be taken to provide maximum protec-tion against electrical shock. Be sure that all poweris off by opening the line (wall) disconnect switchand by unplugging the power cord to the unit whenconnections are made inside of the power source.

The Miniarc 90i/140i comes equipped with 10 feet ofinput cable for connection to a 115 or 230 volt (dependingon the model) single phase 50/60 Hz properly fusedpower supply. Refer to Table 2-1 for proper fusing for thewelding output load.

* Sizes per National Electric Code for 90° C rated copper conductors@ 30<198>°C ambient. Not more than three conductors in racewayor cable. Local codes should be followed if they specify sizes otherthan those listed above.

Since the Miniarc is a double insulated power source, noearth ground is required.

2.4 OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

The Miniarc 90i/140i comes equipped with a 10-footelectrode cable and electrode holder, and a 10-foot workcable and work clamp. Each cable is equipped with amale Quick Connector so the desired electrode polaritymay be chosen by interchanging the electrode and workcables through the use of the output receptacles.

For reverse polarity (SMAW) welding, the electrodecable is connected to the positive (+) output receptacle,and the work cable is connected to the negative (-) outputreceptacle.

For straight polarity (GTAW & SMAW) welding, theelectrode cable is connected to the negative (-) outputreceptacle, and the work cable is connected to thepositive (+) output receptacle.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Do not carry or holdthe power source when it is plugged into a powersupply.

2.5 SHOULDER STRAP

The strap can be lowered into the slot, where it can beused as an ordinary handle, or it can be pulled out to allowthe Miniarc 90i/140i to be carried like a shoulder bag. Tofold up the belt, grip the belt above the front holder, pushthe belt forward, pull it out fully, and fold it into the rearslot.

SECTION 3 OPERATION

9

3.1 GENERAL

Never, under any circumstances, operate the powersource with the cover removed. In addition to thesafety hazard, improper cooling may cause damageto internal components.

To prevent serious injury, never touch any partsforward of the torch handle (nozzle, heat shield,electrode, etc.) unless the power switch is in the offposition.

Wear the usual protective gloves, clothing, ear pro-tection, and helmet. A helmet with filter lens shadeNo. 6 or 7 should provide adequate protection foryour eyes. Refer to the Safety Precautions in thebeginning of this manual for additional additionaloperating precautions.

3.2 DUTY CYCLE

The duty cycle of a Power Source is the percentage of a5-minute period that a unit can be safely operatedwithout overheating or being damaged, at a given outputcurrent. The Miniarc 90i is rated at 90 A @ 24 V dc. TheMiniarc 140i is rated at 140 A @ 26 V dc. Both of theseratings are at 35% duty cycle. This means that theMiniarc 90i/140i can be safely operated at 90/140 ampsoutput current for 1.7 minutes out of every 5 minutes. Ifthe welding current is decreased, the duty cycle can beincreased.

3.3 WELDING CONTROLS/INDICATORS

A. Power Switch. When placed in the ON position, thisswitch (located on the rear panel) will apply power to thecontrol circuitry and energize the cooling fan. The whiteindicating lamp on the front panel should illuminate.

B. Output Current Control. Adjustable from 3 to 90amperes for the Miniarc 90i and 3-140 amperes for theMiniarc 140i, this potentiometer allows the welding cur-rent to be varied to suit your welding application. Theexact welding current will depend on the arc length,which is determined to some extent by the operator. If aremote control accessory is used, welding current will beregulated from that location.

C. Remote Control Connection. This socket is locatedon the front panel of the Miniarc and allows for connect-ing any remote control accessory described in Section1.

D. Fault Light. The Miniarc incorporates a thermaloverload circuit in order to prevent damage to the unit ifthe operating temperature becomes excessive. Theyellow fault light on the front panel will illuminate if thiscondition occurs. This overload protection circuit resetsautomatically when the operating temperature has fallento a safe level.

3.4 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

A. Make all the necessary input and output connec-tions for the desired polarity.

B. Set the Output Current Control knob to the desiredoutput current.

C. Place the Power Switch to the ON position. Open-circuit voltage should now be present between theelectrode holder and the work clamp. Do NOTinstall or remove the work clamp with the powerSwitch ON.

D. Lower your helmet and commence welding.

E. When the weld is completed, break the arc bypulling the electrode away from the workpiece.

F. Allow the Power Source to idle for a few minuteswith no load applied.

G. Place the Power Switch to the OFF position.

H. The work clamp may be removed with the poweroff.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE

10

4.2 INSPECTION & CLEANING

Since there are no moving parts (other than the fan) in thepower source, maintenance consists mainly of keepingthe interior of the cabinet clean. Periodically, remove thecover from the cabinet, and wearing proper eye protec-tion, blow accumulated dust and dirt from the air pas-sages and the interior components, using clean lowpressure air. It is imperative that the air passages, insidethe unit be kept free of dirt to ensure adequate circulationof cooling air. Change the air filter in the front panelregularly, and replace it if damaged. Remove the filter byinserting a screwdriver in the slot in the grill and pryingout the lower part of the grill (refer to Figure 4-1). Thelength of time between each cleaning will depend on thelocation of the unit and the amount of dust in the atmo-sphere.

Input power and welding cables should be checkedperiodically for cracks and bare spots. They should bereplaced if frayed or broken wires are found, especiallyat the electrode holder and work clamp.

4.1 GENERAL

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Be sure that the walldisconnect switch or circuit breaker is open beforeattempting any inspection or work inside of thepower source. Always wear safety goggles with sideshields when blowing out the power source with air.

If this equipment does not operate properly, stopwork immediately and investigate the cause of themalfunction. Maintenance work must be performedby an experienced person, and electrical work by atrained electrician. Do not permit untrained personsto inspect, clean, or repair this equipment. Use onlyrecommended replacement parts.
