if damaged.
4.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent
5.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders
containing the correct shielding gas for the
the welding sparks from starting a fire.
Remember that welding sparks and hot
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks
and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near
hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
process used and properly operating
regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for
the application and maintained in good condition.
5.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
4.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous
situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the
equipment being used.
5.c. Cylinders should be located:
•Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage.
4.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can
cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
5.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
4.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances
inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society
(see address above).
5.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
5.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for
use.
5.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,
“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
4.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.
4.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
FOR ELECTRICALLY
powered equipment.
6.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect
switch at the fuse box before working on
the equipment.
4.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the welding area
increase the possibility of the welding current passing
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits.
This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or
cables until they fail.
6.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
6.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

____________________________________________________
8.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effects which are now not known.
7.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame
welding arc or when the engine is run-
ning. Stop the engine and allow it to cool
before refueling to prevent spilled fuel
from vaporizing on contact with hot
engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel
when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it
up and do not start engine until fumes
have been eliminated.
8d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
8.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
8.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

SAFETY
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-
antes:
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de
la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place la
masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres endroits
éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir
passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage,
câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des
risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher met-
allique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de
soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonc-
tionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à soud-
er parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir
le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA Standard
W 117.2-1974.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie
du corps.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-
onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau
de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de l‘arc.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-
er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.

motor provides both a drip-proof covering and a mount-
ing support for the switch and other electrical compo-
nents. A baffle is built into the cover to prevent re-cir-
culation of the motor cooling air. The switch turns the
unit on and lights a pilot light. A relay and resistors per-
mit the motor to run at half speed when not welding to
increase motor life. This allows enough air flow to cool
the gun when not welding and reduces the motor's
starting current. Operable from either 115 volts AC or
DC, the relay is energized when the operator pulls the
gun trigger.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have
thoroughly read all installation, operating and mainte-
nance information supplied with your equipment. They
include important safety precautions and detailed
operating and maintenance instructions.
WARNING
The filter, made of a paper media, is attached to the
inside of the canister lid. Filters for these units are sim-
ilar to those used for large engine air cleaners. The
inlet pipe is fastened to the bottom of the canister and
is mounted tangentially to the inside diameter. A baffle
is mounted above the inlet pipe. When smoke and
sparks enter the canister, the sparks and heavier
smoke particles are retained in the bottom of the can-
ister by a centrifugal action. The centrifugal action and
baffle prevent sparks from damaging the filter media.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts
such as internal wiring.
• Turn the input power off at the fuse

The arc welding smoke exhaust unit will provide the
vacuum needed for one X-Tractor or Flux-Cored Fume
gun, collect visible particles that enter and discharge
the filtered air. This vacuum does not filter out gases.
The X-Tractor 1G is particularly valuable for light duty,
intermittent operation where frequent location changes
and low equipment costs are of prime importance. The
unit weighs 45 pounds and contains a reusable filter
element that collects the particulate matter. The filter
can be cleaned and reused.

INSTALLATION
The X-Tractor 1G includes a relay which automatically
accelerates the vacuum motor to full speed when weld-
ing starts and slows it to half speed when welding
stops. This system increases motor life and decreases
operating noise. The relay requires 115 volt AC or DC
power. To operate, connect the control cable leads #31
and #4 to the welding power source contactor control
circuit. On earlier K179 units, the control leads were
tagged #1 and #4.
Plug the K179-4 power cable into 120 volts, 50 or 60
hertz, single phase grounded 14 amp supply. Connect
the K179-5 to 220 or 240 volts, 50 or 60 hertz, single
phase grounded 6 amp supply. (NOTE: No plug is
supplied with the 220 volt unit.)
When connecting to Flux-Cored Fume guns, X-Tractor
guns, or Suction Heads, connect the supplied adapter
to any 1-3/4" (45 mm) exhaust hose. Lincoln Electric
has 1-3/4" hoses for both regular duty (PVC flexhose
S19947- ) and heavy duty (Reinforced rubber S14927-
8) applications. Then connect the supplied adapter to
the X-Tractor 1G and connect the hose to the suction
device.
Specific connections for Lincoln equip-
ment are as follows:
R3S and SAM:
Connect the leads to #31 and #4 on power source ter-
minal strip. On earlier machines where a #1 appears
on the terminal strip, connect the lead #31 to terminal
#1 and lead #4 to terminal #4.
DC-400, DC-600, DC-1000, DC-1500 or when a K240
contactor kit is used:
Connect the leads to #31 and #4 at power source or at
K240 contactor kit.
SAF-600 or SA-800:
Connect lead #31 to #1 and #4 to #4 on the power
source terminal strip.
When using a DC-250, CV or CVI type power source
(or when the power source is in an inaccessible
location), the control leads must be connected to the
wire feeder as follows:
LN-6:
Connect lead #31 to #1 and #4 to #4 on the terminal
strip inside the LN-6 control box at the wire feed unit.
LN-7, LN-8 & LN-9:
Connect the leads to the auxiliary equipment contacts
#7 and #32A inside the wire feeder control box. To do
this, change the connectors on the end of the X-Tractor
leads to the lugs taped to the ends of the leads. Refer
to appropriate IM manual for terminal location and lead
routing information. Either lead can go to either con-
tact terminal.

thoroughly read all operating and maintenance man-
uals supplied with your equipment and any related
welding machine it will be used with. They include
important safety precautions, operating and mainte-
nance instructions and parts lists.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn the power switch on and the unit is ready for weld-
ing. When operator pulls the gun trigger, the vacuum
motor will speed up to provide proper vacuum for
smoke removal.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•Do not touch electrically live parts such
as output terminals or internal wiring.
NOTE: New filters will leak smoke for the first few min-
utes of operation.
•Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
To insure proper smoke removal, the filter (M12284-1)
typically requires replacement with a new or cleaned
element after welding with 75 to 150 pounds of
Innershield® electrode depending on the type of elec-
trode used and the efficiency of smoke pickup. (When
using the MIG welding process, the amount of elec-
trode between cleanings can be substantially higher.)
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or
explosion.
To replace the filter, turn the unit off, disconnect the
power cord and remove the clamping ring from the top.
Lift the top and the filter from the canister. Remove the
wing nut on the bottom of the filter and install a new or
cleaned element. Make certain that the large flat
washer is placed under the wing nut.
•Keep flammable material away.
•Do not weld upon containers which
have held combustibles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARC RAYS can burn.
Used filters can be cleaned and reused. See the
Maintenance Section for cleaning instructions.
•Wear eye, ear and body protection.
Clean accumulated material from bottom spark trap
every 300 to 400 pounds of electrode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
• Although the removal of the particu-
late matter from welding smoke may
reduce the ventilation requirement,
concentrations of the clear exhausted
fumes and gases may still be haz-
ardous to health. Avoid breathing
concentrations of these fumes and
gases. Use adequate ventilation
when welding. See ANSI Z49.1,

6.Remove the housing from unit.
With reasonable care in handling, these filters can eas-
ily be reused five or six times. The limiting factor in
their service life is the point where the element is frac-
tured or torn, permitting the continuous passage of
smoke. Using a fractured or torn filter may seriously
shorten the life of the vacuum unit.
c. Replacement of Brushes
1.To insure optimum commutation on
reassembly, mark the relative location of the
screw heads in the slots and remove the two
#10-24 x 2 screws from the top end bracket
of the vacuum motor using a 5/16" socket or
nut driver.
Electrical Maintenance
WARNING
Have a qualified electrician do the maintenance and
troubleshooting work. Turn OFF the arc welding power
source and disconnect control leads #31 and #4 at
power source or wire feeder. Remove the power cable
plug from its receptacle or turn the input power off
using the disconnect switch at the fuse box.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check motor brushes after 1,000 hours of operation or
about every six months. Brushes worn to 1/4 inch long
should be replaced. Brush part number is S14688-D.
Two brushes are required per motor. Instructions for
checking and/or replacement of the brushes are as fol-
lows:

2.Lift off the top end bracket from the motor.
Be careful not to lose the bearing pre-load
spring washer. Lift the cylindrical motor
cover up from the motor, slide back on the
leads and tilt away from motor.
10.Place motor cover over motor. Make sure
the bearing spring washer is on top of the
armature bearing and positioned to fit into
bearing seat in the top end bracket.
11.Position the top end bracket so the bolt
slots are directly over the threaded holes in
motor frame. Place the #10-24 x 2.0"
screws through the slots and install loosely
using a 5/16" socket or nut driver. Rotate
the top end bracket to align heads of the
screws with the marks at the slots made in
Step c.1 and tighten.
3.Locate brushes on opposite sides of the
commutator. Using a 1/4” socket or nut dri-
ver, remove two #8-32 hex head screws from
each brush holder retaining bracket and
remove brackets.
4.Move brush holder assemblies away from
commutator in order to remove coil leads
from brush holders.

After replacing brushes, run smoke exhaust
unit on low idle for 30 minutes. Unit is on low
idle when power cable is energized, power
switch is on, and control (#31 and #4) cable is
not connected.
5.Place a screwdriver in area A to pry lead
from brush holder assembly. Do not pry or
pull on bare section of lead denoted by B in
Figure 5.
See S17238 included with replacement motor for
instructions for complete vacuum motor replacement.
6.To install new brushes, push tab on each coil
lead into the slot on either side of brush hold-
er. Do not bend the bare section of lead (B).
7.Place each brush assembly in position on
bottom motor housing with coil lead on top.

8.The brush assembly will be properly posi-
tioned when the raised round locater in the
brush area of the bottom housing fits into the
indented section on the brush assembly that
is marked "C" in Figure 6. The brass portion
of the brush holder will be approximately 1/8"
from the commutator.
9.With the brush assembly in position, place
brush hold down bracket over each brush
holder. Start the four #8-32 hex head screws
by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten
screws with a 1/4” socket or nut driver.
