Connect the TIG burner gas line to the pressure reducer
and follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with
the pressure reducer.
Recommended gas:
pure ARGON 4/8 l/Min.
Fig. 13: Connection for TIG welding
Step 1: Check that the unit is switched off.
Step 2: Connect the ground cable to the ¨+¨ connector.
Tighten clockwise (bayonet lock).
Step 3: Clamp the ground terminal firmly to the work-
piece. The workpiece must be clean at the
connection with the earth terminal to provide
good contact (blank metal, no corrosion, no
paint).
Step 4: Connect the TIG torch to the ¨-¨ connection.
Tighten the cable clockwise (bayonet lock).
Connect the gas line.
Step 5: Open the gas valve and adjust the regulator. The
gas flow should be 5 to 10 l/min, depending on
the application. Check that the gas pressure is
constant and stable.
Step 6: Check the mains connection and connect the de-
vice to the mains.
Step 7: Turn on the power with the ON/OFF switch on
the rear panel. The power indicator will light.
Step 8: Select the LIFT TIG mode with the MMA/MMA
VRD/LIFT TIG knob (Pos.1, Fig. 11).
Step 9: Set the welding current with the knob (Pos. 5,
Fig. 11) for setting the welding current
Step10: Open the gas valve on the handle of the TIG
torch and start the welding arc by placing the
electrode tip on the workpiece to be welded -
"
Lift - Arc
" - and slowly lift it to a distance of 3 - 4
mm. Perform the welding process. Adjust the
welding current as required.
Step11: Switch off the arc after the welding process has
finished: Remove the electrode from the work-
piece, let the gas escape for a few seconds (6 - 8
seconds) to prevent oxidation of the electrode.
And then when the electrode has cooled down,
close the gas valve.
Step12: Wait 2 to 3 minutes before switching off the device
so that it can cool down.
Step13: Turn off the unit with the ON/OFF switch.
ATTENTION
Place the gas cylinder in a safe place and make sure
that it is securely fastened.
