Caution!
Risk of injury and damage from electric shock. As soon as the mains
switch is in the "ON" position, the tungsten electrode of the welding torch is LIVE.
Make sure that the tungsten electrode does not touch any persons or electrically
conducting or earthed parts (e.g. housing etc.)
-Shift the mains switch (20) into the “ON” position
Press the “Mode” button (1) to select
either:
-2-
step mode (2) or
-4-

Selecting the
operating mode
-Unplug the machine from the mains
-Shift the mains switch (20) to the “0FF” position
-Plug the grounding (earthing) cable into the grounding (earthing) socket / “plus”
current socket (17) and latch it
-With the other end of the grounding (earthing) cable, establish a connection to the
workpiece
-Plug the welding cable of the TIG torch into the welding torch current socket /
“minus” current socket (16) and twist it clockwise to latch it into place
-Plug the control plug of the welding torch onto the torch control connection (19) and
twist it to fasten it
-Tool up the welding torch (see the instruction manual for the torch)
-Screw the pressure regulator onto the shielding-
gas cylinder and tighten it
-On the rear of the power source, connect the pressure regulator to the Shielding
gas connection socket (22) by means of the gas hose
-Tighten the swivel nut
-
Connect up the torch shielding-gas hose to the gas “quick-connector” (23)
Only when using a water-cooled torch and cooling unit:
-
Plug in the welding-torch water connectors to the water forward-flow (
black
) and
return-flow (
red
) connections on the cooling unit.
-Plug in the mains plug
Warning!
Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and
damage. Do not use the functions described here until you have read and com-
pletely understood all of the following documents:
-these Operating Instructions
-all "Operating Instructions" for the system components, especially the
"Safety rules"
Warning!
An electric shock can be fatal. If the machine is plugged into the mains
electricity supply during installation, there is a high risk of very serious injury and
damage. Only carry out any work on the machine if
-the mains switch is in the "OFF" position, and
-the machine is unplugged from the mains.
