SAFETY §1 SAFETY §1.1 Signal Explanation The above signals mean warning! Notice! Running parts and getting an electric shock or thermal parts will take damage for your body or others. The corresponding notices are as follows. It is quite a safe operation after taking several necessary protection measures. §1.2 Arc Welding Damage The following signals and word explanations are to some damages for your body or others happening on the welding operation.

SAFETY insulate hands. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition.

SAFETY Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and /or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal. SELF-PROTECTION Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
SAFETY Rotating parts may be dangerous. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, ttings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or xed support.
SUMMARY §2 SUMMARY This operation manual is suitable for the models of SKYTIG 2030. § 2.1 Brief Introduction TP- series welding machine is an excellent DC pulsed TIG arc welder which adopts the latest pulse width modulation (PWM) technology and insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) inverter technology, which can realize TIG operation and change work frequency to medium frequency so as to replace the traditional hulking work frequency transformer with the cabinet medium frequency transformer.
SUMMARY Wider voltage exibility (220V±10%). TIG——Tungsten Inert Gas welding; MMA——Manual Metal Arc welding; PWM——Pulse Width Modulation; IGBT——Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor; §2.2 Working Principle The working principle of SKYTIG welding machines is shown as the following gure. Single phase work frequency AC 220V or 230V (50 Hz) is recti ed into DC (about 300V), then is converted to medium frequency AC (about 20KHz) by inverter device (IGBT), after reducing voltage by medium transformer (the main transformer) and rectifying by medium frequency recti er (fast recovery diode), and is outputted by inductance ltering.

OPERATION The letter “X” stands for duty cycle, which is de ned as the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within a certain time (10 minutes). The rated duty cycle means the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within 10 minutes when it outputs the rated welding current.
