If electromagnetic interference still occurs, despite the fact that the mains connection in accordance with the regulations, take additional measures - Welding cables Keep these as short as possible. Connect the work cable to the work piece as close as possible to the area being welded. Lay them well away from other cables.

Cylinder can explode if damaged. Pressure gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to treat them carefully. Cylinders should be located away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage. Use proper equipment, procedures, and sufficient number of persons to lift and move cylinders.

1-GENERAL REMARKS 1-1 Power source features This series machines include ARC and TIG types, with different specifications of rated current: 315A, 400A, 500A, 630A, 1000A, 1250A etc., which are high-efficient and energy-saving DC Arc welding machine. Enjoy reasonable static characteristic and sound dynamic characteristic and HF arc starting function (this HF arc starting function is for TIG series only).
1-4 Duty cycle Duty cycle is percentage of 10 minutes that a machine can weld at rated load without overheating. If overheats, thermostat(s) will open, output stops, and cooling fan runs. Wait for fifteen minutes for the machine to cool down. Reduce amperage or duty cycle before welding.
Professional welding of special materials requires special welding parameters. Different models of the power sources are matched to different welding. ARC315/400/500/630 The power sources have logical arranged control panel for convenient operation, which can perform SMAW and Gouging (≥ 500A). Welding cable can be extended to 50m.
3-BEFORE COMMISSIONING Warning! Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and damage. Do not use the functions described here until you have read and completely understood the “Safety rules”. 3-1 Utilization for intended purpose only The power source may only be used for SMAW (ARC and TIG series) and TIG (only TIG series) welding. Utilisation for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be “not in accordance with the intended purpose”.

14-BASIC WELDING TECHNIQUE Note! This section being general welding technique guide is for reference only. Specific functions of your machine please refer to previous chapters. 14-1 TIG welding technique The DC power source uses what is known as DC (direct current) in which the main electrical component known as electrons flow in only one direction from the negative pole (terminal) to the positive pole (terminal).
Page 85
TIG Welding Fusion Technique Manual TIG welding is often considered the most difficult of all the welding processes. Because the welder must maintain a short arc length, great care and skill are required to prevent contact between the electrode and the workpiece. Similar to Oxygen Acetylene torch welding, TIG welding normally requires two hands and in most instances requires the welder to manually feed a filler wire into the weld pool with one hand while manipulating the welding torch in the other.
Tungsten Electrodes Tungsten is a rare metallic element used for manufacturing TIG welding electrodes. The TIG process relies on tungsten’s hardness and high-temperature resistance to carry the welding current to the arc. Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, 3,410 degrees Celsius. Tungsten electrodes are nonconsumable and come in a variety of sizes, they are made from pure tungsten or an alloy of tungsten and other rare earth elements.
