INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL TIG TORCH
3.1 Remove the ground cable and the electrode holder from the weld output connections. Install the ground
cable to the Positive (+) weld output connection.
3.2 Secure the ground clamp to the work piece
3.3 Connect a regulator to a bottle of ARGON gas. Then connect the gas connection from the TIG torch to
the regulator.
3.4 Connect the TIG torch weld cable to the Negative (-) weld output connection.
3.5 Set desired amperage on the amperage control knob on the front panel of the welder.
3.6 Turn on the input power switch on the welder.
Be aware that the TIG torch will be electrically HOT when the Input Power Switch on the welder is turned on.
3.7 Turn on the regulator on the bottle of shielding gas and adjust the regulator to approximately 20 CFH.
Then open the shielding gas valve on the torch to start the flow of shielding gas.
EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN!
Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never strike an arc or begin
welding until you are adequately protected. Wear flame-proof welding gloves, a heavy long sleeved
shirt, trousers without cuffs, high topped shoes, and an ANSI approved welding helmet.
3.8 Touch the tungsten that is installed in the TIG torch, to the work piece and quickly pull away
approximately 1/4" to create an arc.
OPERATION
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation
of receptacle at the power source. This welder must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it
checked by a qualified electrician. Do not cut off the grounding prong or alter the plug in any
way and do not use any adapter between the welder's power cord and the power source
receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then connect your welder's power cord to a
properly grounded 120 VAC, 60 HZ, single phase, 20 amp power source.
