INTRODUCTION

The TIG Welding process is

used to produce the highest qual-
ity, porosity-free welds. The FLEX-
TIG
 adds this capability to your
MUSCLE MIG Welder. The FLEX-TIG
enables the operator to perform
high quality Tungsten-Inert Gas
(T.I.G.) welding on steel, stain-
less steel, chrome-moly, copper and
cast iron.

With Direct Current-Straight

polarity (DCSP), the FLEX-TIG will
perform on the (4) TIG settings, as
well as all (8) MIG settings (see
welder output chart and warning on
page 4). The (4) TIG settings are
"Special" TIG voltages for use on
materials ranging from 18 gauge
thru 3/32". The higher MIG voltages
are for use on material from 3/32"
thru 1/4".

The FLEX-TIG consists of a 200

amp gas cooled torch with built-in
gas control valve, remote On/Off
switch, 12 1/2 or 25 foot cable
assembly and the required consum-
able parts.

NOTE: THIS T.I.G. WELDING PACKAGE

WILL NOT WELD ALUMINUM.
