Part I General Description

The Bernard PipeWorx MIG Gun is designed primarily for process-

ing mild steel electrode under GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), MIG

(Metal Inert Gas), MAG (Metal Active Gas), FCAW (Flux Cored Arc

Welding), and MOG (Metal without Gas).

The PipeWorx MIG Gun provides rapid neck interchangeability, typi-

cally during production processes. Neck may also be positioned on

line within a 360 degree rotation. This position allows for movements

between standard horizontal welding, overhead, and hard-to-reach

side angles. The neck includes an optional jump liner system that

effectively reduces costs associated with one-piece liner systems.

Bernard is concerned about your higher productivity.

The PipeWorx MIG Gun meets or exceeds NEMA (National Electrical

Manufacturer’s Association) EW3 requirements for guns used in a

wide variety of applications including aluminum, silicone bronze, and

hard facing alloys to name a few. With Bernard’s flexibility, many ap-

plications can be accommodated with field installed options increasing

performance and maneuverability.

1. Your gun has been shipped with a specific feeder connector,

neck, and sized for electrode as per the part number indi-

cated on its package. Please inspect the received gun against

this part number for accuracy.

2. Turn off power prior to any installation.

3. Fully extend gun and cable. Press liner fully into power pin.

4. Safely expose approximately 2” (51 mm) of electrode

beyond feeder or adaptor block.

5. Power Pin

Connect the power pin of the direct plug gun by sliding

the electrode into the liner and the power fitting into the

drive housing of the feeder. Fully seat the unit in position

and tighten into place as designated in the manufacturer’s

instructions. On initial installations, a thin film of silicone

lubricant will aid installation and prevent o-ring damage.

Attach control lead wires to the appropriate plug, terminals,

or lead kit. Plug or wire into the control circuit of the feeder

as designated in manufacturer’s instructions.

If a gas hose is provided, connect to the feeder’s solenoid

circuit to deliver shielding gas to the arc. If no gas hose is

provided, gas is delivered through the power pin. Refer to

the manufacturer’s instructions for proper gas connection at

the feeder block or solenoid.

6. Remove nozzle from head assembly.

7. Pull contact tip from head/gas diffuser. An unobstructed

electrode path has now been established.

8. Safely feed electrode through the gun and approximately 1”

(25 mm) beyond head/gas diffuser.

9. Reinstall the contact tip over the electrode and lock into

position by reinstalling the nozzle.

Welding current and duty cycle

shall not exceed published

specication of this product. If such

conditions exist, product life and

performance will be reduced.

Part II Installation

Nozzles:

1. If anti-spatter is used, do not coat nozzle insulator as this

may degrade insulating material.

2. Nozzle should be cleaned as often as possible. Spatter

buildup can often lead to poor gas shielding or short circuit-

ing between the contact tip and the nozzle.

3. Spatter should be removed with the proper tools designed

for spatter removal.

4. In high temperature welding applications, heavy duty con-

sumables are recommended.

Contact Tips, Gas Diffusers:

1. Contact tips may be removed and rotated in gas diffuser,

providing an additional wear surface and extending the

service life of the product.

2. Inspect nozzle for spatter adhesion, blocked gas ports, and

carburized contact surfaces. Clean as often as possible.

3. If anti-spatter is used, periodically check gas ports for block-

age.

4. When using dual shield electrode, periodically check gas

ports in gas diffuser for clogging caused by flux from within

the electrode.

Cable:

1. Periodically check torques of neck and end fittings. Loose

fittings can cause overheating and premature failure of the

gun.

2. Sharp bends and loops in the cable should be avoided. Often

the best solution is to suspend the wire feeder from a boom

or trolley, thus eliminating a large number of bends and

keeping the cable clear of hot weldments.

3. Do not immerse liner into solvents for cleaning; the liner

may be periodically blown out with compressed air.

4. Avoid rough surfaces and sharp edges that can cause tears

and nicks in cable jacket which can cause premature failure.

5. Periodically check all cables and ground connections.

6. Use anti-seize on all threaded connections.

Part III Helpful Operating Tips

Feeder:

1. Check drive rolls for wear; be sure drive rolls and guide

tubes are clean and free of debris. Do not overtighten drive

rolls; set as per manufacturer’s specifications.

2. Use clean, non-corroded electrode.

3. When installing or replacing electrode, you may: remove

burrs from end of electrode, remove head/gas diffuser and

contact tip, and/or straighten the first few inches of elec-

trode.

End User Stocking Recommendations:

Nozzles ...................................... 5 for every 1 gun in service

Contact Tips .............................. 30 for every 1 gun in service

Gas Diffusers ............................ 4 for every 1 gun in service

Triggers ..................................... 1 for every 10 guns in service

Necks ........................................ 1 for every 20 guns in service

Handle Kits ................................ 1 for every 20 guns in service

Replacement Cables .................. 1 for every 20 guns in service

Strain Relief Kits ....................... 1 for every 20 guns in service

Adaptor Kits .............................. Order as Necessary

Power Pin Kits .......................... Order as Necessary

These stocking recommendations are only initial guidelines based on

an 80 hour work period. You should work closely with your distributor

to tailor a stocking program that suits your specific needs. Results will

vary.

Disconnect gun from equipment, allow to cool, and remove

electrode from liner before servicing.
