8. Plug the power cable into the appropriate outlet, and turn the switch to the “ON” position. The power L.E.D. light should
illuminate.
9. Set the “Process Selection Switch” to GTAW (Lift TIG)
10. Set the weld current control knob to the desired amperage.
11. The tungsten must be ground to a blunt point in order to achieve optimum welding results. It is critical to grind the tungsten
electrode in the direction the grinding wheel is turning.
12. Install the tungsten with approximately 1/8” to ¼” sticking out from the gas cup, ensuring you have correct sized collet.
13. Tighten the back cap.
14. You are now ready to begin TIG Welding
NOTE!
Open the gas valve on TIG torch handle, and adjust the pressure of regulator to 15-25 cubic feet per hour.
This gas flow should be sufficient for most TIG welding applications.
ii. Touch the tungsten to the work piece. This closes the welding circuit, and the arc starts by slowly
LIFTING the torch off the base metal. Keep a consistent arc length of about 1/8-1/4”.
iii. If necessary re-adjust the amperage setting to an appropriate level.
