STICK OPERATION
Tapping Method
Scratch/Match Method
STARTING METHODS
1. Turn on the power switch on the rear of the unit. Allow unit to cycle through its start up program.
2. Select the Stick mode with the HF/Lift Start/Stick selector switch.
3. Make sure electrode holder is hooked into the positive connector and the work clamp is hooked the negative
connector. This will require the torch to actually be placed in the WORKPIECE connector and the work clamp to
be in the Torch connector for proper operation.
4. Select the amps desired. Use the electrode diameter selection chart in this manual to determine the approxi-
mate range of amps suitable for the rod size selected. Consult the welding electrode manufacturer
’
s recom-
mendation for proper amperage range. Each manufacturer has specific recommendations for its electrodes.
5. Strike the arc with either the tapping method or the match strike method. Beginners usually find that the
match strike method yields best results. Professionals tend to gravitate toward the tapping method because of
its placement accuracy which helps prevent arc striking outside of the weld zone.
IMPORTANT: Do not weld in the TIG mode with the stick electrode holder still attached.
