OPERATION
There are three methods generally employed for producing the initial arc for
TIG welding.
On smaller, DIY machines, a ‘scratch arc‘ method is used where the electrode
is ‘scratched’ against the workpiece to strike an arc, similar to normal arc
welding. Other machines employ a ‘lift arc’ method, which is similar to scratch
arc in that the electrode must touch the workpiece, but a far greater degree
of control is available. Others are fitted with a High Frequency unit which
allows the arc to form once the electrode is brought to within a specified
distance from the workpiece.
If you are unfamiliar with TIG welding, you should consult the manual supplied
with your TIG welder, where full details of its operation should be given.
MAINTENANCE
The torch and cable should be inspected before use, to ensure it is
undamaged. Replace any part which is suspect and ensure all connections
are firmly secured before switching on the welder.
Consumable parts (electrodes, nozzles etc) are listed in the parts list on page
7.
Do not dispose of welding products with general household waste. All tools,
accessories and packaging should be sorted, taken to a recycling centre and
disposed of appropriately.
