ARTIFICIAL OPTICAL RADIATION:  According with the requirements in 
2006/25/EC Directive and  
EN 12198 Standard, the equipment is a category 2.  It makes mandatory the 
adoption of Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) having filter with a 
protection degree up to a maximum of 15, as required by EN169 Standard. 

 

FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS:  Welding may produce fumes 
and gases hazardous to health.  Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.  To 
avoid these dangers the operator must use enough ventilation or exhaust to 
keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. 

 

ARC RAYS CAN BURN:  Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to 
protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or 
observing.  Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to 
protect you skin and that of your helpers.  Protect other nearby personnel with 
suitable, non-flammable screening and warn them not to watch the arc nor 
expose themselves to the arc. 

 

WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION:  Remove fire 
hazards from the welding area and have a fire extinguisher readily available.  
Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding process can easily go 
through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.  Do not weld on any 
tanks, drums, containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to 
insure that no flammable or toxic vapors will be present.  Never operate this 
equipment when flammable gases, vapors or liquid combustibles are present. 

 

WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN:  Welding generates a large amount of 
heat.  Hot surfaces and materials in work area can cause serious burns.  Use 
gloves and pliers when touching or moving materials in the work area. 

 

SAFETY MARK:  This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding 
operations carried out in an environment with increased hazard of electric 
shock. 

 

Preparation and Operator Instructions 

 

General 

These high quality TIG welding torches were specifically developed for more delicate welding and 
easier handling.They are available in gas-cooled and water-cooled versions. If properly used and 
maintained, our welding torches are extremely durable. In order to ensure a long life cycle, please 
read these instructions carefully.  
 
This manual is only for the experienced user. Do not allow untrained persons to install, handle or 
maintain our LTP TIG welding torches. Welding torches must be checked regularly in order to 
guarantee optimum life expectancy. 
 
The user is fully responsible for possible defects arising out of misuse, inadequate maintenance, 
damage,poor repairs, or modifications by other parties than the original manufacturer or his 
authorised dealers. 
 
The welding torch is a component of a complete welding system. The torch will generate an electric 
arc when connected with the appropriate welding machine. Ensure that you read the welding 
machine’s instructions thoroughly before using our welding torches.
