Check the torch is firmly connected to welding machine.
•
Check the torch is fitted with the correct parts for task.
•
Check the parameters in the welding machine.

TIG operations
Set the tig torch to the required start position.
•
Ignite the arc with the on/off button (when torch is fitted with a gas valve (V-torch), open the
•
gas valve and assure the gas coverage is available. After this, start the ignition by contacting
work piece).
After ignition keep the torch at the start point until establish a weld pool.
•
Guide the torch constant during the whole seam length following the instructions.
•
Press the stop button at the end of the welding job (when torch is fitted with a gas valve (V-
•
torch), lift the torch until the arc tears off. Then close the gas valve).
Continue to hold torch at final position for a few seconds to allow molten pool to solidify without
