2.3.4 POWER SOURCE
The power source is a secondary chopper DC output designed
for single phase primary connec tions. An ouput controlled
fan provides proper cooling during normal welding opera-
tions and shuts o four minutes after welding stops. The fan
will automatically re-start when welding resumes and proper
machine temperatures will be maintained.
2.3.5 WIRE FEEDER
The four (4) roll drive wire feeder is built into the power source
cabinet, housed separately from the welding machine electri-
cal components. Cooling air is not drawn through the wire
feeder compartment or electronic controls reducing exposure
to dirt and dust which improves product performance and
reliability.
The wire feeder pushes wire at speeds from 65 to 675 ipm
(inches per minute).
2.3.6 CONTROLS
The Multimaster 260 can be used to weld solid and ux
cored wires. The operator selects the process desired on a
three position switch located on the front panel. A detailed
description of the power source controls is included in Sec-
tion 4 (Operation) of this manual.
2.3.7 BUILTIN TOOL BOX
The Multimaster 260 is designed with a lockable storage space
on the left side of the machine for welding accessories such as
contact tips, gas nozzles, small grinder, spare parts, welding
hood and protective clothing. (Figure 1B)
