CHAPTER 3. START-UP. OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT.
3.1. OPERATION CONTROLS.
The control panels of the GAR AC/DC
equipment can be seen in figure 5. The operations
carried out by the controls are described below:

A- Start-up switch. It connects the equipment to the
mains. In 220V connection the scale level (E1 or E2)
can be selected in the TIG welding process.
B- Connection to mains light.
C- Welding current adjustment wheel.
D- Dial which indicates the welding current set.
E- Output connectors for Alternating C. working
mode (A.C.)
F- Output connectors for Direct C. working mode
(D.C.)
3.2. START-UP. PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS.
In principle, the system must be connected as
indicated in the previous chapter and before starting
the system up definitely, the operations indicated
below must be carried out:
3.2.1 Control and operation in A.C. mode (Coated
3.2.1 Control and operation in A.C. mode (Coated

1. Place the welding clip and ground in connectors E
on the front of the appliance (see Fig. 5)
2. Set the welding current with wheel C to the desired
welding intensity value. The adjustment value is given
on part F4 of the dial (see figure 7).
3. Apply the on/off switch (A) depending on the
supply voltage. The adjustment scale in A.C. working
mode must be E2.
Check start-up of ventilator (fig. 6)

1. Place the clip or T.I.G. torch - depending on the
work to be carried out- and the welding ground in
connectors F on the front of the appliance. Make
sure of the correct polarity (see section 3.3).
2. Adjust the welding current with wheel C to the
desired welding intensity value. The adjustment value
is give in one of the areas (Franjas) F1, F2 and F3 of
the dial on the front (see figure 7).
- Indication of area F1 - T.I.G. welding. Scale E1
- Indication of area F2 - T.I.G. welding. Scale E2
- Indication of area (Franja) F3 - Welding with
electrode. Scale E2.
3. Apply on/off switch according to mains power
supply. If you wish to obtain E1 adjustment scale in
T.I.G. welding you must connect the equipment to
220V.
