Main Menu
1
TIG Welding Mode
EASY AC & EASY DC TIG - Ease of setup with
optimum settings and the ability to change the
trigger mode (2T or 4T) set pulse up to 2Hz and
adjust welding amps.
PRO AC & PRO DC TIG - Control all TIG AC or
DC welding parameters when a setting is
modified it saves automatically in the current
program selection. eg PROAC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
2 Stick Welding Mode
MMA AUTO - Ease of setup with automatic
settings with the ability to choose the electrode
diameter then fine tune with the Amps Fine
mode to increase or decrease amperage while
the machine takes care of the rest.
MMA PRO - Control all stick welding parameters.
3
Settings
Reset - Reset all welding parameters to defaults and reset welding timer.
Timer - Displays current total welding time for all welding modes.
Firmware Version - Displays the current version.

TIG Modes - Torch Switch
Input Power
15 A Outlet - Use a suitable 15 amp power outlet or lead.
10 A Outlet - Use a suitable 15 amp to 10 amp converter with 10 A
breaker.
Generator - 10 KVA minimum.
2
Polarity
DCEN - Connect the TIG torch into the socket with the (-)
symbol for direct current electrode negative. Connect the
ground cable into the (+) symbol.
3
Shielding Gas
Bottle Type - Side outlet bottle is needed for included gas regulator.
Gas Type - 100% Argon
Flow Rate - 8 Litres per minute (Flow rate is approximate do a test weld
to determine optimal gas coverage)
4 TIG Torch Amp Control
Torch Push Botton Switch - Controls the TIG welding arc and works di erently
depending on the mode see functions on back for operation.
Finger/Thumb Wheel - Controls the welding amps and can only be adjusted
when welding. 0 is the minimum welding amps (10A) 10 is machine setting amps.
The amp value displays when welding and holds for 5 seconds a er the arc
finishes.
TIG Modes - Foot Pedal
Foot Pedal
Pedal Mode - Plug in the foot pedal then turn the machine
on to detect. (Pedal can also be used as ON/OFF switch in
2T/4T mode by not detecting the pedal)
Operation - The foot pedal can be used to precisely
manipulate the welding amps, which is highly beneficial
when welding aluminium. When the pedal is fully
depressed the output will ma the set weld amps.
PRO TIP - When using the foot pedal set the machine just
above the desired amps for the material being welded.
2 TIG Torch
Torch Selection - Both the 4-meter torch and 6-meter
torch can be used with the foot pedal. If using the 6
meter torch leave the plug to the side.
Stick Welding Mode
Polarity
Connect the stick lead into the socket with the (+) symbol
for direct current electrode positiv and connect the ground
In most MMA welding applica-
cable into the (-) symbol.
tions DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive) is used.
In some cases when welding very thin material
reversing the polarity to DCEN can be an advantage.
