OPERATION
B-2
5. Gun Trigger - Activates welding output, wire feed,
and gas solenoid operation. Releasing the trigger
deactivates welding and simultaneously activates
the
“
burnback
”
function so that the welding wire
does not stick in the weld puddle.
●
No external shielding gas is required when used
with Lincoln Innershield .035

MP electrode.
●
Accommodates both 4
”
(100 mm) diameter and 8
”
(200 mm) diameter spools of wire.
WELDING CAPABILITY
The SP-100T is rated at 88 amps, 18 volts, at 20%
duty cycle on a ten minute basis. CSA rated output at
62 amps at 20 volts at 20% duty cycle. It is capable of
higher output currents at lower duty cycles.
LIMITATIONS
Arc Gouging cannot be performed with the SP-100T.
The SP-100T is not recommended for pipe thawing or
TIG welding.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Refer to Figure B.1a.
1. Control Power ON/OFF Switch
—
When the power is on the
fan motor will run and air will be
exhausted out the louvers in the
front of the machine. The weld-
ing output and wire feeder
remain off until the gun trigger
is pressed.
2. Wire Speed Control
—
Controls the wire feed speed
from 50
–
300 in /min (1.3
–
7.6 m/min). The control can
be preset on the dial to the
setting specified on the SP-
100T Application Chart
located on the inside of the
wire feed section door.
3. Voltage Control
—
A 4-posi-
tion tap selector switch gives
full range adjustment of
power source output voltage.
Do not switch while welding.
Refer to Figure B-1b.
4. Circuit Breaker
–
Protects machine from damage if
maximum output is exceeded. Button will extend
out when tripped (Manual reset).
