14. Caution : The Torch handle is now energized. Be careful not touch anything else with
the Torch except the work piece to be welded.
15. Hold the Trigger down and tilt the torch forward. Keep the wire touch the work piece.
16. When the arc ignites, tilt the tip forward and hold it touch the work piece.
17. Never tap the Welding Wire into the welding surface to ignite the arc. This will cause
the Welding Wire to stick to the work piece.
18. For a narrow weld, you can usually draw the Welding Wire in a steady straight line.
This is called a
“stringer bead”
19. For a wider weld, draw the Welding Wire back and forth across the joint in a curve.
This is called a
“weave bead” .
TIG Welding
1. Turn the Current Adjustment Knob to meet the needs of the job.
2. Move the
Model Selector Switch to “MIG”.
3. Put the metal to be welded on the metal weeding-cutting table. Ensure the metals to
be welded are clean, so good welding efficiency can be promised.
4. Hold the Trigger down and tilt the torch forward. Keep a constant distance between
the torch and the work piece but do not contact it.
5. Stroke the work piece lightly to ignite the arc. Do not strike like a match? Never tap the
electrode wire to ignite the arc; it will damage the electrode.
6. When the arc ignites, tilt the electrode forward and hold it near the work piece.
Arc (stick) Welding
1. Turn the Current Adjustment Knob to meet the needs of the job.
2. Move the Stick or TIG Switch to “TIG”
3. Connect the Electrode Clamp and Cable to the torch control connector (as 7 shown on
page 9 and twist to lock in place.
4. Plug the cable of the Grounding Clamp into the DC ground connector and secure the
clamp to a clean, exposed metal part of the work piece.
5. Place the metal portion of the welding rod inside the jaws of the Electrode Clamp.
Welding rod types vary for welding different metals.
Note:
If too much current is drawn from the welder; the Thermal Overload protector will
activate, the Overload indicator
will light, and the welder will turn off until it cools
down. It will automatically reset.
When finished welding
a) Release the Torch handle trigger and lift the Torch handle from the work
piece,
b) Press the Power Switch to the Off (O) position.
c) Set the Torch handle down on the metal workbench,
d) Turn the air supply off,
e) Unplug the line cord from the electrical outlet.
