Lincoln 400XA GMAW Welding Gun 052-1/16, 15 ft - K556-14

The Magnum 400XA welding guns are ideal for gas-shielded solid and flux-cored wires. Its two-piece ergonomic handle is compact, and the non-slip grooves offer great comfort and control. The metal and cloth-reinforced rubber bellows behind the handle provides flexibility and reduces operator fatigue. These guns come with a Fast-Mate European style wire feeder connector from the factory. They can be used with most Lincoln or non-Lincoln semiautomatic wire feeders. The 400XA requires the appropriate adapter kit. Lincoln's advantages include a variety of gun tube angles for different joint configurations, ready-to-weld guns with various wire sizes using the right contact tip and cable liner, a heavy-duty trigger switch for long life, and a 60% duty cycle meeting NEMA EW3 spec.

To use the Lincoln 400XA GMAW Welding Gun, first make sure you have the appropriate adapter kit. Connect it to your semiautomatic wire feeder, whether it's a Lincoln or non - Lincoln one. Choose the right contact tip and cable liner according to the wire size you want to use. When welding, hold the gun with the ergonomic handle, taking advantage of the non - slip grooves for a better grip. Be aware that the gun has a 60% duty cycle, so don't overuse it continuously. For maintenance, check the metal and cloth - reinforced rubber bellows regularly for any signs of wear. If the trigger switch starts to malfunction, it might need replacement as it's a key part for electrical contact. Keep the gun clean to ensure smooth operation and long - term performance.
