INSTALLATION

EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN!
Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never strike an arc
or begin welding until you are adequately protected. Wear flame-proof welding gloves, a
heavy long sleeved shirt, trousers without cuffs, high topped shoes, and an ANSI approved
welding helmet.
1. INSTALLATION OF TIG TORCH
1.1 Remove the ground cable and the electrode holder from the weld output connections. Install the
ground cable to the Positive (+) weld output connection.
1.2 Secure the ground clamp to the work piece
1.3 Connect a regulator to a bottle of ARGON gas. Then connect the gas connection from the TIG
torch to the regulator.
1.4 Connect the TIG torch weld cable to the Negative (-) weld output connection.
1.5 Set desired amperage on the amperage control knob on the front panel of the welder.
1.6 Turn on the input power switch on the welder.
Be aware that the TIG torch will be electrically HOT when the Input Power Switch on the welder is
turned on.
1.7 Turn on the regulator on the bottle of shielding gas and adjust the regulator to approximately 20
CFH. Then open the shielding gas valve on the torch to start the flow of shielding gas.
1.8 Touch the tungsten that is installed in the TIG torch, to the work piece and quickly pull away
approximately 1/4" to create an arc.
