4. OPERATION

Before using the equipment, ensure that all the necessary installation actions have been completed according to
your equipment setup and instructions.
Welding is forbidden in places where there is an immediate fire or explosion hazard!
Welding fumes may cause injury. Take care to ensure sufficient ventilation during welding and wear respiratory pro-
tection!
Always check before use that interconnecting cable, shielding gas hose, earth return lead/clamp and mains cable are in
serviceable condition. Ensure that the connectors are correctly fastened. Loose connectors can impair welding per-
formance and damage connectors.
Many Flexlite TX torches are equipped with an ON/OFF switch. The exact operation and function of the switch may
vary depending on your welding machine settings (e.g. 2T, 4T or Minilog).
In K3 level DIX torches with a manually operated shielding gas valve to regulate the shielding gas flow, open and close
the gas valve in the torch body.
1. Ensure that the earth return cable is connected to the welding machine and piece to be welded.
2. To start welding, press the ON/OFF switch (1) on the welding torch handle.
3. With the roller and rocker switch versions: Adjust the welding current by rolling the roller switch (2/3) or by
pulling/pushing the rocker switch (2/3).
Welding current adjustment is available for K5 level torches only.
