CAUTION
Before any welding is to begin, be sure to wear all appropriate and recommended safety equipment.
1. Switch the ON/OFF Switch (located on the rear panel) to OFF.
2. Connect the ground clamp cable to positive output terminal, and the TIG torch cable to the negative output terminal.
NOTE!
This set up is known as Straight Polarity or DC Electrode Negative. This is commonly used for DC TIG weld-
ing on most materials such as steel and stainless steel.
3. Using a secured Argon cylinder, slowly crack open then close the cylinder valve while standing off to the side of the valve.
This will remove any debris that may be around the valve & regulator seat area.
4. Install the regulator and tighten with a wrench.
5. Connect the gas hose to the outlet of the Argon regulator, and tighten with a wrench.
6. Be sure the gas valve on the torch is closed, and slowly open the Argon Cylinder Valve to the fully open position.
7. Connect the ground clamp to your work piece.
