Safety Instructions for

MIG Welders

1. READ THIS MANUAL. This manual con-

tains proper operating and safety proce-

dures for this equipment.

3. WELDING IN A CONFINED SPACE CAN

BE HAZARDOUS. Always open all covers,

sustain forced ventilation, remove toxic and

hazardous materials, and provide a power

disconnect to the welder inside the work

space. Always work with someone who

can give you help from outside the space.

Welding can displace oxygen. Always check

for safe breathing atmosphere and provide

air-supplied respirators if necessary. Keep

in mind that all normal welding hazards are

intensified in a confined space.

2. WELDING FUMES. Breathing welding

fumes can cause suffocation or poisoning

without warning. Keep your head out of

welding fumes. Use adequate ventilation

at the arc to safely remove the fumes from

your breathing zone and the general area.

Use ANSI approved respirators for the type

of welding operation. Protect others from

these fumes.

4. ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT touch live

electrical parts. Connect welder to power

source with approved earth ground. Make

sure all electrical connections are tight,

clean, and dry. Connect workpiece to

approved earth ground. The work lead is

NOT a ground connection and is to be used

only to complete the working welding cir-

cuit.

9. HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS. Regardless

of content, pressurized gas cylinders can

explode. Always secure a protector cap in

place over the outlet valve assembly when

moving the cylinder. A broken off valve

could release the pressurized contents and

cause the cylinder to be hurled about at

dangerously high speeds, causing serious

property damage, personal injury, or death.

Always use safe methods when moving gas

cylinders. Always secure a gas cylinder to a

wall or approved cylinder cart with a chain

before using or storing.

5. PREVENT FIRES. Welding work zones

must be kept clear of flammable liquids,

such as gasoline and solvents; combus-

tible solids, such as paper and wood; and

flammable gases, such as acetylene and

hydrogen. Provide approved fire barriers

and fire extinguishing equipment for the

welding zone. Stay alert for sparks and

spatter thrown into cracks and crevices that

can start a smoldering fire. Inspect the work

area again one hour after welding for any

potential fire hazards.

10. PROTECT GAS CYLINDERS FROM HEAT

OR DAMAGE. An excess of heat can

cause the pressurized gas to expand and

explode the cylinder. Never weld on the

gas cylinder. Damaging the outside of the

cylinder can cause the cylinder to crack and

explode. Exploding pressurized gas cylin-

ders can cause serious property damage,

personal injury, or death.

6. PROTECT BODY FROM ARC BURNS,

SPARKS, AND SPATTER. Wear correct

and approved eye, ear, and body protec-

tion. Wear complete body protection, such

as clean and oil-free protective clothing,

leather gloves, protective cap, heavy long-

sleeve shirt, cuffless pants, and high leather

boots. DO NOT wear jewelry or frayed

clothing. Use a welding helmet with the cor-

rect shade of filter for the operation. Protect

other people and property in your work-

ing zone from exposure to arc radiation,

sparks, and spatter.

11. ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS

(EMF). Welding operations create EMF

around the welding equipment and

workpieces. Workers who have pacemak-

ers must consult with their physician before

using this equipment or being within 50 feet

of welding operations.

12. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE. Make sure

equipment inspections and maintenance

are performed by a qualified person as

required. Stop the welding operation and

disconnect the welder from power if the

equipment is damaged or malfunctions.

7. WORKING AREA. Keep working area clear

of any material not involved in the welding

operation. Keep all equipment, workpieces,

and work surfaces clean, dry, and free of

entanglements. Keep lead cables orga-

nized and away from your body.

13. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you

are experiencing difficulties performing the

intended operation, stop using the equip-

ment. Contact our Technical Support

Department at (570) 546-9663.

8. AVOID EXPLOSION HAZARD. Never

weld on closed containers or containers

with fumes inside. Containers should be

prepared per American Welding Society

Publication F4.1, Section 7.

Amperage Draw

The Model H8155 welder draws the following

amps under maximum load:

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension cords.

Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment

and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for

extension cords.

Draw at 110V, Single Phase ..................20 Amps

Circuit Requirements

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-

sion cord with your machine:

Connect your welder to a dedicated and grounded

circuit that is rated for the amperage given below.

Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing cir-

cuit with one of higher amperage without consult-

ing a qualiﬁed electrician to ensure compliance

with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the

wiring codes in your area or you plan to con-

nect your machine to a shared circuit, consult

a qualified electrician.

•

Use at least a 10 gauge cord that does not

exceed 50 feet in length.

The extension cord must also contain a

ground wire and plug pin.

A qualified electrician MUST size cords over

50 feet long to prevent damage to the weld-

er.

Minimum 110V Circuit Requirement .....30 Amps

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding

wire in the power cord must be properly connected

to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the

outlet must be properly installed and grounded.

All electrical connections must be made in accor-

dance with local codes and ordinances.

Workpiece Ground

Grounding for

Welding Safety

The incoming power circuit to the welder and the

working welding circuit are two separate circuits

that must have separate grounds. The weld-

ing circuit consists of the internal components

of the welder, the welding cables, the electrode

holder/torch assembly, the work clamp, and the

workpiece.

There are two or more electrical circuits involved

in any welding operation. The practice of safely

grounding these circuits is documented in vari-

ous codes and standards (refer to Additional

Sources for Welding Codes and Standards on

Page 5).

ANSI Welding Standards (Z49.1, 11.3.2.1) specify

that "Grounding [of the workpiece] shall be done

by locating the work on a grounded metal ﬂoor or

platen, or by connection to a grounded building

frame or other satisfactory ground."

Welding Machine Ground

When properly connected to a power source, the

Model H8155 welder is grounded through the

power cord and power grid. The internal welding

circuit of the welder is insulated from the external

enclosure. However, to avoid shocking hazards if

this internal insulation fails, you must establish a

separate earth ground for the welder's external

enclosure. This ground will ensure that if a short

does occur and the metal enclosure becomes

integrated with the welding current, the current

will safely dissipate directly through the ground

instead of through you.

Always ensure that the ground for the incom-

ing power circuit to the welder and the

ground for the working welding circuit are

never connected. Failure to comply with this

warning could result in death, serious per-

sonal injury, or property damage.

However, you must also avoid "double ground-

ing" the workpiece. ANSI Z49.1 states that "Care

shall be taken to avoid the flow of welding current

through a connection intended only for safety

grounding since the welding current may be of a

higher magnitude than the grounding conductor

can safely carry."

Note: Refer to the publication NFPA 70, National

Electric Code, Article 250, Grounding, and your

local electrical codes for the correct method of

establishing this ground.

The grounding terminal for the H8155 external

enclosure is located on the right rear of the welder

(see Figure 2).

Note: The work lead from the welder is some-

times incorrectly referred to as the "ground lead."

The work lead from the welder is NOT a ground.

The work lead and the ground connection to the

workpiece are separate and must NOT be con-

nected in any way.

MIG welders use a high frequency cur-

rent that creates a high electro-magnetic

field (EMF) around the welder. EMF disrupts

electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep

electronic devices at least 50 feet from the

welder when it is powered on. Workers who

have pacemakers must consult with their

physician before using this equipment or

being within 50 feet of welding operations.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

Operation Safety

Welder Duty Cycle

As the welder produces the desired power output

for the welding operation, power is converted to

heat. In order to protect the welder components

from over-heating, each welder has an estab-

lished duty cycle, which varies depending on the

amperage output being used.

Damage to your eyes and lungs could result

from using this machine without proper

protective gear. Always wear safety glasses,

welder's helmet, and a respirator when oper-

ating this welder.

A duty cycle is the number of minutes out of 10

minutes that the welder can safely operate at the

current amperage output without over-heating.

For instance, the Model H8155 has a duty cycle

of 45% at 50A output. This means that the welder

can operate continuously for 4.5 minutes at 50A

output, then the arc must be stopped to allow the

welder, using the cooling fan, to cool off for at

least 5.5 minutes before starting the arc again.

NOTICE

The Model H8155 has a cooling fan and an inter-

nal thermostat that will shut the welder down if

the duty cycle is exceeded. This will be evident by

the loss of welding circuit and the orange warn-

ing light on the face of the welder will illuminate.

When the welder has cooled sufficiently, the inter-

nal thermostat will re-establish the welding circuit

and the orange warning light will go out.

If you have never used this type of machine

or equipment before, WE STRONGLY REC-

OMMEND that you read books, trade maga-

zines, or get formal training before begin-

ning any projects. Regardless of the con-

tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will

not be held liable for accidents caused by

lack of training.

Always treat the welding components as if

they carry live welding current, even when

the welder reaches the duty cycle limit and

shuts down. When the welder re-establishes

the welding current, the electrode and work

lead will immediately carry live welding cur-

rent. Ignoring this warning could result in

serious personal injury or death.

Operation Guidelines

Basic Operation

NOTICE

The following instructions are not intended

to be a complete list of welding steps. To

become a good welder, read books on weld-

ing, get help from experienced welders, and

practice.

Although it is beyond the scope of this manual to

instruct how to weld, here are some general steps

for successful welding:

1. Read and understand this manual and ensure

that all safety instructions are followed.

2. Establish a safe and efficient welding envi-

ronment and ensure that you are properly

protected for the welding operation. Ensure

that there is a working fire extinguisher read-

ily available.

3. Have an experienced welder stand by to

assist if needed.

4. Decide which type of weld is correct for your

project and properly prepare the metal.

5. Choose the correct amperage output and be

aware of the duty cycle for this amperage.

6. Select the correct electrode type and size for

your welding project.

7. Make sure the welding cables and grounds

are secure.

8. Stay aware of the work environment around

you as you weld and ensure that flying sparks

do not start a fire.

9. Look slightly ahead of the arc. Even with

the protection of the welder's hood, looking

directly at the arc can damage your eyes.

10. Listen to the sound of the weld. Each type

of weld has its own distinct sound when it is

progressing correctly.

9. Press and hold the torch trigger switch and

stroke the area to be welded with the elec-

trode wire to ignite the arc.

NOTICE

Remember to switch to positive electrode

polarity when using gas instead of flux core

wire. Follow the instructions on the diagram

below the wire feed mechanism to preform

this simple modification. Failure to follow

this procedure can result in poor quality

welds.

and with the welder unplugged.

2. If using non-flux core wire, connect and

secure the Argon/CO2 gas hose to the rear of

the welder. If using flux core wire, protective

gas is not required.

NOTICE

Always keep the power ON to the welder

after completing the welding operation to

let the welder fan cool the welder down. To

avoid damage to your welder, never shut

the power OFF before the welder enclosure

is completely cool to the touch.

3. Attach the work clamp as close as possible

to the workpeice, or to the metal work bench

where the workpiece is mounted and electri-

cally connected.

4. Set the desired welding current for the type

of metal being welded, using the Min/Max

switch and the 1/2 power level switch. Figure

5 shows the resulting current for each combi-

nation of Min/Max and 1/2 switch positions.
