Technical Data - Castolin Eutectic POWERmax2 Operating Manual And Spare Parts List

Commissioning
Follow safety instructions.
Connect mains plug.
Connect TIG welding torch cable to adapter cable,
attach the cable to the minus terminal
equipment and lock by turning to the right.
Insert earth cable in plus terminal
turning to the right.
Attach gas tube to argon welding regulator.
The required rate of flow is 3 - 10 l/min.
Turn on main switch.
Tilt selector switch
Adjust welding current (the standard value may be
found in the table) on the welding current poten-
tiometer .
Open gas valve on torch.
Place torch with gas nozzle on the workpiece so that
a distance of 2 - 3 mm is maintained between the
electrode end and the workpiece.
Tilt the torch with the gas nozzle slowly until the
tungsten needle touches the workpiece.
Ignite the arc by carefully lifting the torch.
Start welding.
Stop welding by increasing the distance between
the torch and the workpiece, thereby breaking the
arc.
