Gouging
CITOTIG 400
does not include the torch holder with lead
necessary for gauging, but the one can be purchased
separately. See "Accessories" chapter.
Procedure of begin of gouging process:
First turn the machine off.
Determine the electrode polarity for the electrode to be
used. Consult the electrode data for this information.
Depending on the polarity of using electrode, connect
the work lead and the electrode holder with lead to
output socket [3] or [7] and lock them. See the
Table 1.

Connect the air connector of gouging holder to air
source.
Connect the work lead to the piece with the work
clamp.
Install the proper electrode in the electrode holder.
Turn the machine on.
Set the gouging parameters.
WARNING
Detailed operation can be found in the IM3187 user
manual.
The machine is now ready to gouging.
By applying the principle of occupational health and
safety at welding, welding can be begun.
Gas Connection
WARNING
CYLINDER may explode if damaged.
Always fix the gas cylinder securely in an
upright position, against a cylinder wall
rack or purpose-made cylinder cart.
Keep cylinder away from areas where it
may be damaged, heated or electrical
circuits to prevent possible explosion or
fire.
Keep cylinder away from welding or other
live electrical circuits.
Never lift welder with cylinder attached.
Never allow welding electrode to touch
cylinder.
Build up of shielding gas may harm health
or kill. Use in a well-ventilated area to
avoid gas accumulation.
Close the gas cylinder valves thoroughly
when not in use to avoid leaks.
WARNING
Welding machine supports all suitable shielding gases at
a maximum pressure of 5,0 bar.
WARNING
Before use, make sure that the gas cylinder contains gas
suitable for the intended purpose.
Turn off input power at the welding power source.
Install a proper gas flow regulator to the gas cylinder.
Connect the gas hose to the regulator using the hose
clamp.
The other end of gas hose connect to the gas
connector on the power source rear panel.
Turn on input power at the welding power source.
Open the gas cylinder valve.
Adjust the shielding gas flow of the gas regulator.
