3) Select AC output from (centre position)
4) Dial up the welding amperage required
5) Set the starting amperage at 50% 
6) Set the down slope at 5 seconds
7) Set the post gas at around 5 seconds
8) Set the cleaning control to 0. 
  You are now ready to weld. The above settings are 

a guide and you should adjust to suit the job you are 

welding if you are unfamiliar with the machine try to 

adjust only one parameter at a time so you become 

familiar with its effect. With AC TIG welding the 

cleaning control is used to adjust the balance between 

heating and cleaning the work, For speed an longevity 

of the Tungsten it is best to minimise the cleaning 

effect  but how low this can be adjusted will depend 

upon the condition of the base material

MMA welding problem

Description

Possible cause

Remedy

Gas pockets 

or voids in 

weld metal 

(porosity)

(a) Electrodes are 

damp
(b) Welding current 

is too high.
(c) Surface 

impurities such as 

oil, grease, paint, 

etc

(a) Dry 

electrodes 

before use
(b) Reduce 

welding current
(c) Clean joint 

before welding

Crack occur-

ring in weld 

metal soon 

after solidifi-

cation.

(a) Rigidity of joint.
(b) Insufficient 

throat thickness.
(c) Cooling rate is 

too high.

(a) Redesign 

to relieve weld 

joint of severe 

stresses or use 

crack resistance 

electrodes.
(b) Travel 

slightly slower 

to allow greater 

build up in 

throat.
(c) Preheat 

plate and cool 

slowly.

The filler wire diameter specified is a guide only, other 

diameter wires may be used according to the welding 

application.

Machine setup for TIG welding

DC TIG welding

Connect the torch as detailed previously
1) Select HF start (bottom position)
2) Set the process mode to 2T or 4T if you prefer a 

latching trigger action. (Note in 4T position you must 

press and release to start the process and press and 

release again to stop the process) 
3) Select DC output from (top position)
4) Dial up the welding amperage required
5) Set the starting amperage at 50% 
6) Set the down slope at 5 seconds
7) Set the post gas at around 5 seconds
You are now ready to weld. The above settings are a
