SETUP
TIg Welding
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy ANd dEATH:
do not weld without grounding clamp.
When the operator is not holding the Torch, it must be sitting on a nonconductive, nonflammable surface.
Only hold TIg Rod with an electrically insulated welding glove.
TO pREVENT dEATH FROM ASpHyXIATION:
do not open gas without proper ventilation. Fix gas leaks immediately.
Shielding gas can displace
air and cause rapid loss of consciousness and death.
Shielding gas without carbon dioxide can be
even more hazardous because asphyxiation can start without feeling shortness of breath.
NOTIcE:
TIG welding is a complicated process,
requiring experience and skill to achieve
successful results. Training beyond the scope of
this manual is required to TIG weld properly.
1. Open gas cylinder’s valve all the way.
2. Set Flow Gauge to SCFH value indicated
on Settings Chart on top of Welder.
3. Turn the Power Switch to the OFF position, then
plug the Welder into a properly grounded, GFCI
protected, 120 VAC (20 amp rated) outlet or 240V
outlet.
The circuit must be equipped with delayed
action-type circuit breaker or fuses.
4. Set TIG Torch down on nonconductive,
nonflammable surface well away
from any grounded objects.
5. Turn the Power Switch ON.
6. Set amperage according to Settings Chart on top of
Welder.
Set to high end of amperage range.
For example: Range is 80-100A,
set amperage to 100A.
NOTE:
Settings are approximate. Adjust as necessary.

Ac TIg - For welding aluminum
a.
AMpS -
Set amperage
according to Settings
Chart on top of Welder. Set to high end
of amperage range. For example: Range
is 80-100A, set amperage to 100A.
b.
pULSE -
Set Pulses Per Second. Pulse
welding reduces heat input to minimize
distortion and allows for faster travel speeds.
c.
AC BALANCE (%EN) -
Controls the
amount of oxide cleaning. A higher number
reduces the amount of oxide cleaning.
d.
AC FREQUENCY (Hz) -
Controls the width of
the welding arc. For groove welds, use low
frequency. For narrow welds set to 120 or above.
dc TIg - For welding
mild and stainless steel
e.
AMpS -
Set amperage according to
Settings Chart on top of Welder.
