Service and Repair should only be performed by
Lincoln Electric Factory Trained Personnel. Unauthorized
repairs performed on this equipment may result in danger
to the technician and machine operator and will invalidate
your factory warranty. For your safety and to avoid
Electrical Shock, please observe all safety notes and
precautions.
GFCI TESTING AND RESETTING PROCEDURE
The GFCI should be properly tested at least once every month or
whenever it is tripped. To properly test and reset the GFCI:
• If the GFCI has tripped, first carefully remove any load and check it
for damage.
• If the equipment has been shut down, it must be restarted.
• The equipment needs to be operating at high idle speed and any
necessary adjustments made on the control panel so that the
equipment is providing at least 80 volts to the receptacle input
terminals.
• The circuit breaker for this receptacle must not be tripped. Reset if
necessary.
• Push the "Reset" button located on the GFCI. This will assure
normal GFCI operation.
• Plug a night-light (with an "ON/OFF" switch) or other product (such
as a lamp) into the Duplex receptacle and turn the product "ON".
• Push the "Test" button located on the GFCI. The night-light or other
product should go "OFF".
• Push the "Reset" button, again. The light or other product should
go "ON" again.
If the light or other product remains "ON" when the "Test" button is
pushed, the GFCI is not working properly or has been incorrectly
installed (miswired). If your GFCI is not working properly, contact a
qualified, certified electrician who can assess the situation, rewire the
GFCI if necessary or replace the device.
