Electrode/Gas Output Receptacle on the front of the
welder and turn it clockwise until it is tight. This is a
quick connect terminal and also provides the gas con-
nection for the shielding gas to the torch.
WARNING
To avoid receiving a high frequency shock, keep the
TIG torch and cables in good condition.
__________________________________________

WORK CABLE CONNECTION

A work cable with attached work clamp is factory con-
nected to the Square Wave TIG 175 PRO. To minimize
high frequency interference, refer to Machine
Grounding and High Frequency Interference
Protection section of this manual for the proper pro-
cedure on grounding the work clamp and work piece.

SHIELDING GAS CONNECTION

Obtain the necessary inert shielding gas (usually
argon). Connect a cylinder of gas with a pressure reg-
ulator and flow gage. Install a gas hose between the
regulator and gas inlet (located on the rear of the
welder). The gas inlet has a 5/16-18 right hand female
thread; CGA #032.
WARNING
CYLINDER could explode
if damaged.
•Keep cylinder upright and chained
to a support.
•Keep cylinder away from areas where it could be
damaged.
•Never allow the torch to touch the cylinder.
•Keep cylinder away from live electrical circuits.
•Maximum inlet pressure 150 psi.
___________________________________________
The optional undercarriage features a pivoting platform
that simplifies loading and unloading of gas cylinders.
A cylinder is loaded by leaning it slightly sideways and
rolling it toward the platform. The cylinder's weight will
push the platform downward against the floor, forming
a ramp. At this point, the cylinder may be rolled up the
platform into its final position. Secure the cylinder in
place with the provided chain. Unload by following
these steps in reverse.
