Do not install, operate, or repair this equipment without carefully reading the manual and
observing all of the safety precauons menoned.
Safety Symbols
Every eort has been made to protect trained operators from injury or unnecessary risk. Certain
symbols are used throughout this manual to call aenon to safety-related informaon and in-
strucon. The safety symbols in this manual have these meanings:
This symbol indicates dangerous situaons. When this symbol is used within this
manual, death or serious bodily harm is possible or probable if the corresponding
preventave measures are not taken. Operators must take cauon in the method and
manner of handling or using the machine when this symbol is displayed.
Safety Precauons
Do not install, operate, or repair the TW4300 welding equipment without reading this manual and
all safety precauons stated within!
The TW4300 was designed and built with operator safety in mind. Every eort has been made to
protect the trained operator from injury. Familiarizaon with the informaon in this manual is to
minimize the risk of shock or injury.
STUD WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. ALWAYS PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
FROM POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
Operators who have a pacemaker should consult with their physician before operang stud weld-
ing equipment.
FUMES and OXYGEN DEPLETION
Only weld in areas where adequate venlaon of weld gases is possible and where there is no
re, smoke, or explosion hazards
When working in a conned space always have trained support personnel nearby
Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death, be
sure the breathing air is safe
Do not weld in locaons near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operaons, the heat and rays of
the arc can react with vapors resulng in highly toxic or irritang gases
Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, coangs and
metals containing these elements can generate toxic fumes when heated to welding
temperature
Stud Welding Safety Precautions
3
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Electric shock can injure or kill!
Precauonary measures must be taken to provide maximum protecon against
electrical shock
Do not touch live or energized electrical parts or store metallic objects near power
Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground
Do not leave an energized machine unaended
Never work in wet clothing, gloves or footwear
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulaon, make certain the insulaon is
large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground
Inspect all system components, protecve equipment, cables, connectors and gas lines prior
to operang equipment, never use cables that are longer than necessary
When tesng a live unit, use the one-hand method, do not put both hands inside of the unit,
keep one hand free
Disconnect input power conductors from de-energized supply line before moving a welding
power source
Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connecon with the metal being
welded, the connecon should be as close as possible to the area being welded
Turn OFF welding power source before servicing unless the procedure specically requires an
energized unit
Never touch the energized stud or gun before discharging the stud to ground
Never use the power source to provide heat for thawing frozen pipes
ARC RAYS and EYE PROTECTION
Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin.
Arc ashes are painful.
Use a shield with the proper lter and cover plates to protect eyes from sparks and the rays of
the arc when welding or while observing open arc welding
Use protecve clothing specically intended for work with welding equipment, it should be
made of durable ame-resistant material to provide ample protecon from the arc rays
Protect other nearby workers with suitable, non-ammable screening
Cauon other workers not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot
spaer or metal
Stud Welding Safety Precautions

Stud Welding Safety Precautions
WELDING SPARKS
Heat from ames and arcs can start res. Hot slag or sparks can also cause res and
explosions.
Remove all combusble materials from the work area or cover these materials with a protecve
non-ammable tarp. Combusble materials include wood, fabrics, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels,
solvents, paints and coangs, paper, etc.
Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices in oors or wall openings and cause a
hidden smoldering re. Make certain that such openings are protected from hot sparks and metal.
ELECTRIC and MAGNETIC FIELDS
Electric current owing through any conductor causes localized Electro-Magnec Fields (EMF).
Welding and cung current creates EMF around welding cables and welding machines.
Operators having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding, EMF may
interfere with some pacemakers
Exposure to EMF may have other health eects, which are unknown
Operators should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF
Route the work cables together, secure them with electrical tape when possible
Never coil the work cable around any part of the body
Do not stand between the work cables
Connect the work cable to the work piece as close as possible to the area being welded
Keep welding power source and cables as far away from your body as possible
Electromagnec elds can irrevocable erase magnec data carriers (computer memory, credit
cards, security ID cards, etc.)
Electromagnec elds may magneze and damage watches or similar digital devices
PROTECT YOURSELF and OTHERS
Some welding, cung, and gouging processes are noisy and require ear protecon.
The arc, like the sun, emits ultraviolet (UV) and other radiaon and may injure skin and
eyes. Hot metal can cause burns. Training in the proper use of welding processes and
equipment is essenal to prevent accidents.
Wear ameproof type gloves, heavy long-sleeve shirt, cu less trousers, and a welding helmet
or cap for hair protecon, to protect against arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A ame-
proof apron may also be desirable as protecon against radiated heat and sparks.
Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trouser cus, or pockets. Sleeves and col-
lars should be kept buoned, and open pockets eliminated from the front of clothing.

TW4300 Setup and Installation
Inial Steps
Only qualied personnel should perform this installaon.
This secon provides detailed instrucons for the proper installaon of the TW4300. It is
recommended that these instrucons be followed carefully to allow for the best possible oper-
ang environment.
Handling and Unpacking the Welder
Immediately upon receipt of the welder, inspect the shipment for any damage and nofy the
carrier of such damage before accepng delivery. Inspect welder for damage which may have
occurred in transit. Aer removing the components from the shipping container(s), check the
container for any loose parts. Remove all packing materials. Visually check all air passages of
power source for any packing materials that may obstruct airow through the welder. If the
equipment is not being installed immediately, store it in a clean, dry, well-venlated area unl
installaon.
Selecng a Locaon
The locaon of the power source should be carefully selected to ensure sasfactory and
dependable service. Choose a locaon relavely close to a properly fused source of electrical
power. Use care against toppling over if the machine is placed on a lted surface or plane. It is
important that the machine be located in an open area where air can circulate freely through the
front and rear openings. If space is at a premium, leave at least 1 foot (300 mm) of clearance
between the rear of the power source and wall or other obstrucon.
Electrical Input Requirement
The welding power source is designed to be operated from three-phase, 60Hertz, AC power
supply. Consult the local electrical ulity supplier if there are any quesons on the electrical
system at the present installaon site. The TW4300 should be operated from a separate, fused or
circuit-breaker protected circuit.

Electrical Input Requirements
The TW4300 is equipped with an input voltage jumper block so the unit can be operated with
dierent line voltages depending on the supplied voltage. The jumper seng should be checked
to see if they are properly posioned for the voltage being used.
Remove the TW4300 top cover
Plug in the appropriate voltage connector for either 230VAC (red wired connector) or 460VAC
(black wired connector) 3 Phase operaon.
