  • Page 7: Safety Instructions

    MACHINE CARE / SAFETY Keep the welding cables, earth clamp and electrode holder in good condition. Failure to do this can result in poor welding quality, which could be dangerous in structural situations. Prior to use, check for breakage of parts and any other conditions that may affect operation of the welder. Any part of the welder that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will perform its intended function whilst being safe for the operator.
  • Page 8 Where welding must be undertaken in environments with increased risk of electric shock, confined spaces or in the presence of flammable or explosive materials, it is important that the environment be evaluated in advance by an “expert supervisor”. It is also recommended that welding in these circumstances be carried out in the presence of persons trained to intervene in emergencies.

  • Page 13 AC / DC WELDING Alternating current (AC) is electricity that switches direction back and forth so the voltage also periodically reverses because the current changes direction. Typical AC currents are what you would expect to see from your electrical outlets in your home and often used in higher voltage devices such as household appliances. AC current changes its polarity 120 times per second with a 60-hertz current.
  • Page 14 PULSE TIG WELDING TIG welding with the pulse feature is most often done for thin metals such as aluminum and can also be used with copper and varieties of steel. Pulsing can be set up with a foot pedal or as a setting on your TIG welder, but when should you use pulsing? There are some very specific applications for pulsing with a TIG welder and then there are times when it can just come in handy to get a job done better.
  • Page 15 2T / 4T TRIGGER CONTROL 2T Trigger Control 1. Press the trigger and Hold 2. The set pre-gas flow starts and the arc starts and will upslope to the amperage selected on the amperage dial. 3. When you want to finish the weld, release the trigger and the amperage will begin to downslope at the rate you have selected on the downslope dial, If you selected zero the arc will stop as soon as you release the trigger.

  • Page 19 ELECTRODE SIZE SELECTION Electrode size selection will be determined by the thickness of the section being welded. A thicker section will need a larger diameter electrode. The table below shows the maximum size of electrodes for average thicknesses of section (based on General Purpose 6013 Electrode). Average Metal Thickness Electrode Size 1.0 - 2.0mm...
  • Page 20 MANUAL METAL ARC PROCESS (MMA WELDING) When an arc is struck between the metal rod (electrode) and the workpiece, both the rod and workpiece surface melt to form a weld pool. Simultaneous melting of the flux coating on the rod will form gas and slag which protects the weld pool from the surrounding atmosphere.

  • Page 26: Tig Welding

    TUNGSTEN SELECTION / PREPARATION & GRINDING ELECTRODES Electrodes for DC welding are normally pure tungsten with 1 to 4% thoria to improve arc ignition. Alternative additives are lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide which are claimed to give superior performance (arc starting and lower electrode consumption).
  • Page 27 WORK PIECE WORK PIECE TIG WELDING - CONTINUED This risk can be minimised using the ‘lift arc’ technique where the short-circuit is formed at a very low current level. The most common way of starting the TIG arc is to use HF (High Frequency). HF consists of FLUX COATING high voltage sparks of several thousand volts which last for a few microseconds.
