TIG WELDING – GENERAL 

 

aluminum, aluminum alloys, brass and magnesium, while 

stainless steel, iron and copper. 

1.  Connect the earth (work) cable connector to the 

positive pole (+) (

AC

) of the welding machine, and 

the clamp to the work piece as close as possible to 
the welding point, making sure there is good 
electrical contact.  

2.  Connect the power connector of the TIG torch to the 

negative pole (-) (

AB

) of the welding machine.  

3.  Connect the foot pedal or on/off switch control plug 

to the welding machine connector  

AE

4.  Connect the torch gas hose fitting to the gas outlet 

fitting  

AD 

 on the machine, and the gas hose from 

the cylinder pressure regulator to the gas fitting

          DANGER 

 
Do not touch live parts and output terminals while the machine 
is powered. 
Read complete listing of safety messages at the beginning 
of this manual. 
 

1.  The  first  time  the  machine  is  turned  on,  select  the 

process  and  mode  using    the  push-buttons
