If the Duty Cycle is exceeded, and the built-in Breaker is tripped, allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. When a safe temperature has been reached, the Welder can be switched back on. To increase the duty cycle, turn down the Voltage Output control. Going above 190 Amps will yield a lower Duty Cycle. Eastwood Technical Assistance: 800.343.9353 >> tech@eastwood.com...
IMPORTANT NOTE: These instructions are intended only to provide the user with some familiarity of the Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC. Electric Welding is a highly complex procedure with many variables. If you have no prior experience with Electric Welding, it is extremely important to seek the advice of someone experienced in Electric Welding for instruction, enroll in a local technical school welding course or study a comprehensive how-to DVD and obtain a good quality reference book on Electric Welding as there is a moderate learning curve necessary before achieving proficiency in Welding different metals such as steel, stainless steel and aluminum.
• Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in use. • Use proper equipment, procedures and have adequate help when moving or lifting cylinders. Eastwood Technical Assistance: 800.343.9353 >> tech@eastwood.com...
NEMA 6-50R receptacle. As an alternative, by using the included Adapter Cord, the TIG 200 AC/DC can be used with a 120 VAC, 20 AMP, 60HZ grounded NEMA 5-15R outlet protected by a circuit breaker.

FIG. 4 FIG. 4 The Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC is factory set-up for TIG Welding use with a 3/32” Tungsten (Included) and 100% Argon Shielding Gas (Not Included). The procedure for configuring to Stick welding use is covered further on in this Manual.
• Use proper equipment, procedures and have adequate help when moving or lifting cylinders. A Shielding Gas Bottle is NOT INCLUDED with the Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC but is necessary to weld using the TIG torch. It can be bought at most local Welding Supply Stores.
2-1/2 times the Tungsten rod diameter (FIG 12). • Replace the Tungsten in the Collet with the tip extending 1/8”-1/4” beyond the Gas Nozzle, then re-tighten the Back Cap. FIG. 12 FIG. 12 To order parts and supplies: 800.343.9353 >> eastwood.com...
OVERLOAD PROTECTION The Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC Welder is equipped with an overload protection. This device will protect the Welder if the duty cycle is exceeded. If the output is exceeded, the breaker will trip, the AMBER Overload Indicator will illuminate and cut off the power supply to the TIG Torch although the fan will still run to cool the unit.

• Electric welding heats metal and tools to temperatures that will cause severe burns! • Use protective, heat resistant gloves and clothing when using Eastwood or any other welding equipment. Never touch welded work surface, TIG Torch or nozzle until they have completely cooled.
• When done, shut off the Power Switch and close the Shielding Gas Tank valve completely. STICK WELDING With the optional #20517 Electrode Holder, the TIG 200 AC/DC can be used as a stick welding machine. • Connect the electrode holder and configure the TIG/Stick switch down for stick welding (Fig 14).
TORCH MAINTENANCE The Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC has several consumable parts that will need to be replaced over time. If wear or slag build up is noticed on any of the torch components, replace them immediately to avoid damage to the torch. Worn components will also contribute to poor performance. See the torch components (FIG 9) exploded view for a reference of all of the components and the assembly order.
Shift more negative clearance on the Clearance Effect knob so less heat is going Melting Incorrect Clearance Effect (AC) into the tungsten. Tungsten Wrong Size Tungsten Increase tungsten diameter. Refer to chart for proper sizing. Incorrect Shielding Gas Only use 100% Argon when TIG Welding. Eastwood Technical Assistance: 800.343.9353 >> tech@eastwood.com...

To reduce heat, it is best to spread the welding out around the area. This can be Too Much Heat in Material done by using stitch welding techniques, alternating sides, and/or taking your time and allowing the pieces to cool between passes. To order parts and supplies: 800.343.9353 >> eastwood.com...
