STICK WELDING
1. Turn the welder "ON". The digital ammeter/voltmeter
will illuminate when the power is on.
2. Set the Mode Switch to "STICK". Set the output cur-
rent displayed on the digital ammeter with the
Output Control Knob. No other functions or adjust-
ments operate in the Stick Mode.
3. Select the desired DC+/AC/DC- electrode polarity.
4. Clamp the electrode in the electrode holder, start
the weld by lightly touching the electrode to the
work. Stop the weld by pulling the electrode away
from the work piece.

AUXILIARY POWER

60 HERTZ DOMESTIC MACHINES
The Square Wave TIG 275 machines rated for 60 Hz
operation provides 10 amps of 115 volt AC power at a
standard NEMA 5-15R receptacle, located on the
lower case back of the machine. This circuit is protect-
ed from shorts and overloading by a 10 amp circuit
breaker, located next to the receptacle. The auxiliary
circuit is intended for running water coolers and small
power tools, whose current draw is within the 10 amp
rating. Note that some types of equipment, especially
pumps and large motors, have starting currents which
are significantly higher than their running current.
These higher starting currents may cause the circuit
breaker to open. If this situation occurs, the user
should refrain from using the Square Wave TIG 275
auxiliary for that equipment.
50/60 HERTZ EUROPEAN MACHINES
The Square Wave TIG 275 machines rated for 50/60Hz
operation provides 2 amps of 220 volt AC power at a
continental European (Schuko) type receptacle, locat-
ed on the lower case back of the machine. This circuit
is protected from shorts and overloading by a 2 amp
circuit breaker, located above the receptacle. The aux-
iliary circuit is intended for running water coolers
whose current draw is within the 2 amp rating of the
receptacle. Note that some types of equipment, espe-
cially pumps and motors, have starting currents which
are significantly higher than their running currents.
These higher starting currents may cause the circuit
breaker to open. If this situation occurs, the user
should refrain from using the Square Wave TIG 275
auxiliary for that equipment.
