FOR ENGINE powered equipment. 1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running. ____________________________________________________ 1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
ii SAFETY ii ARC RA YS can burn. 4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
FOR ELECTRICALL Y powered equipment. 8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment. 8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer ’ s recommendations.

A-3 A-3 INST ALLA TION SP 170-I SELECT SUIT ABLE LOCA TION The SP 170-I has an IP21S rating. Locate the welder in a dry location where there is free circulation of clean air into the louvers in the back and out the front of the unit.
A-4 A-4 INST ALLA TION W ork Cable Installation Refer to Figure A.2. 1. Open the wire feed section door on the right side of the SP 170-I. 2. Pass the end of the work cable that has the termi- nal lug with the smaller hole through the Work Cable Access Hole (1) in the case front.
A-5 A-5 INST ALLA TION SP 170-I let and open the cylinder valve very slightly for an instant. This blows away any dust or dirt which may have accumulated in the valve outlet. BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR FACE AWAY FROM THE VALVE OUTLET WHEN “ CRACKING ” THE VALVE.
A-6 A-6 INST ALLA TION Line Cord Connection A 3 conductor international cordset with a 16 amp, 230 volt, two-prong plug is factory installed. Connect this plug to a mating grounded receptacle which is connected to an appropriate power supply per any applicable local codes.
SP-170-I B-1 B-1 OPERA TION Read entire operation section before operating the SP 170-I. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing. Insulate yourself from work and ground. • Always wear dry insulating gloves.
B-2 B-2 OPERA TION ● No external shielding gas is required when used with Lincoln Innershield .035 ” (0,9 mm) NR ® -211- MP electrode. ● Spindle accommodates both 8 in. (200 mm) diame- ter and 4 in. (100 mm) diameter spools of wire. ● Accepts optional Spot/Stitch Timer Kit.
B-3 B-3 OPERA TION WELDING OPERA TIONS SEQUENCE OF OPERA TION Wire Loading Refer to Figures B.2 and B.3. The machine power switch should be turned to the OFF ( “ O ” ) position before working inside the wire feed enclosure. The welder is shipped from the factory ready to feed 8" (200 mm) diameter spools with 2.
B-4 B-4 OPERA TION Refer to Figure B.4 1 . Release the Spring Loaded Pressure Arm (1) rotate the Idle Roll Arm (2) away from the Wire Feed Drive Roll (3). Ensure that the groove size in the feeding position on the drive roll match - es the wire size being used.
B-5 B-5 OPERA TION Making A Weld 1. See “ Process Guidelines ” in this section for selec- tion of welding wire and shielding gas and for range of metal thicknesses that can be welded. 2. See the Application chart on the inside of the wire feed compartment door for information on setting the SP 170-I controls.
B-6 SP 170-I B-6 OPERA TION The SP 170-I is suitable for .035" (0.9 mm) aluminum wire and .023" – .035" (0.6 - 0.9 mm) stainless wire. Refer to Table B.1 for recommended procedure set- tings. (Requires K499 Argon regulator kit and K664-1 Aluminum - Stainless Feeding Kit.
B-7 SP 170-I B-7 LEARNING T O WELD LEARNING T O WELD No one can learn to weld simply by reading about it. Skill comes only with practice. The following pages will help the inexperienced operator to understand weld- ing and develop this skill.
B-8 SP 170-I B-8 LEARNING T O WELD The “ arc stream ” is seen in the middle of the picture. This is the electric arc created by the electric current flowing through the space between the end of the wire electrode and the base metal. The temperature of this arc is about 6000 ° F, which is more than enough to melt metal.
B-9 SP 170-I B-9 LEARNING T O WELD 2. Can I afford the extra expense, space, and lack of portability required for gas cylinders and gas sup- ply? 3. Do I require clean, finished-looking welds? If you have answered yes to all the above questions GMAW may be the process for you.
B-10 SP 170-I B-10 LEARNING T O WELD FIGURE B.12 Penetration Unless a weld penetrates close to 100% of the metal thickness, a butt weld will be weaker than the material welded together. In the example shown in Figure B.13, the total weld is only half the thickness of the material thus the weld is only approximately half as strong as the metal.
B-11 SP 170-I B-11 LEARNING T O WELD FIGURE B.16 Vertical-down Welding Refer to Figure B.17 Vertical-down welds are applied at a fast pace. These welds are therefore shallow and narrow and, as such, are excellent for sheet metal. Vertical-down welds may be applied to 5/32 ” (3.
B-12 SP 170-I B-12 LEARNING T O WELD ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. When using an open arc process, it Is necessary to use correct eye, head and body protection. Protect yourself and others, read “ ARC RAYS can burn ” at the front of this manual.
B-13 SP 170-I B-13 LEARNING T O WELD Mild Steel 16 gauge or 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) Electrode 0.035" (0.9 mm) NR-211-MP Innershield Wire Voltage Setting “ V ” A Wire Feed Speed “ o|o ” 1.
B-14 SP-170-I B-14 LEARNING T O WELD MA CHINE SET UP FOR THE GMA W (MIG) PROCESS 1. See PROCESS GUIDELINES in the OPERATION section for selection of welding wire and shielding gas, and for range of metal thicknesses that can be welded. 2. See the Application Guide on the inside of wire feed section door for information on setting the controls.
Helpful Hints 1. For general welding, it is not necessary to weave the arc, neither forward or backward nor sideways. Weld along at a steady pace. You will find it easier.
B-16 SP 170-I B-16 LEARNING T O WELD 4. After you strike the arc, practice the correct electri- cal stickout. Learn to distinguish it by its sound. 5. When you are sure that you can hold the correct electrical stickout, with a smooth “ crackling ” arc, start moving.
B-17 SP 170-I B-17 LEARNING T O WELD Proper Gun Handling Most feeding problems are caused by improper han- dling of the gun cable or electrodes. 1. Do not kink or pull the gun around sharp corners 2. Keep the gun cable as straight as practical when welding.
Be sure to read and understand the warnings on this welding machine and the section on ARC WELDING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS in the Operating Manual. Because design, fabrication, assembly and welding variabl.

C-2 C-2 A CCESSORIES INNERSHIELD (FCA W) CONVERSION Several changes are needed to convert the unit for operation with the Innershield (FCAW) process. The following conversions should be reviewed before welding with (FCAW): 1. Change the output polarity to DC( – ).
MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECA UTIONS ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Disconnect input power by removing plug from receptacle before working inside SP170-I. Use only grounded receptacle. Do not touch electrically “ hot ” parts inside SP 170-I. • Have qualified personnel do the mainte- nance and trouble shooting work.
D-2 SP-170-I D-2 MAINTENANCE GUN AND CABLE MAINTENANCE Gun Cable Cleaning Clean cable liner after using approximately 300 lbs (136 kg) of solid wire or 50 lbs (23 kg) of flux-cored wire. Remove the cable from the wire feeder and lay it out straight on the floor.
D-3 D-3 MAINTENANCE SP 170-I COMPONENT REPLA CEMENT PR OCEDURES CHANGING THE CONT A CT TIP (These instructions pertain to the Lincoln Electric ® gun having a black trigger. The instructions for the Magnum ™ 100L gun, having a red trigger, are similar except that the gas nozzle and contact tip are both threaded.
D-4 D-4 MAINTENANCE SP 170-I CHANGING LINER NOTICE: The variation in cable lengths pre- vents the interchangeability of liners. Once a liner has been cut for a particular gun, it should not be installed in another gun unless it can meet the liner cutoff length require- ment.
D-5 D-5 MAINTENANCE SP 170-I GUN HANDLE P ARTS (b lack trig ger) The gun handle consists of two halves that are held together with a C-clip (located at the cable end of the gun). To open up the gun handle assembly, remove the C-clip and pry down the trigger handle half with a screwdriver.
