4. Insert the cylinder gas pipe into this fitting (Rif.12 - Fig. 2 page 4) and
secure with a hose clamp.
5. Connect the torch gas pipe to the gas outlet fitting (Rif.9 - Fig. 1 page 3)
(Front panel).
6. Press the illuminated switch to turn on the power source (Rif.1 - Fig. 1 page
3) .
7. Select the wants modality (Rif.5 - Fig. 1 page 3) .
8. Check that there are no gas leaks.
9. Adjust welding current with amperes selector (Rif.3 - Fig. 1 page 3) .
3.5 MANUAL GTAW (TIG) WELDING.
For manual TIG welding, set the welding mode selector (Rif.5 - Fig. 1 page
3) to position:
Adjust the slope down duration with the time/slope down potentiometer
(Rif.6 - Fig. 1 page 3)
3.6 AUTOMATIC GTAW (TIG) WELDING.
For automatic TIG welding, set the welding mode selector (Rif.5 - Fig. 1
page 3) to position:
Adjust the slope down duration by means of the time/slope down potenti-
ometer (Rif.6 - Fig. 1 page 3) .

FUNCTIONS
1 - ON - OFF SWITCH this switch (Rif.1 - Fig. 1 page 3) has two
positions: : I = ON - O = OFF.
2 - POST GAS REGULATION Regulation (Rif.2 - Fig. 1 page 3)
of the delay time of the extinction gas with screw-driver as
regards the extinction of the welding arc. Regulation time from
2 to 20 seconds.
3 - AMPERAGE SELECTOR Use control knob (Rif.3 - Fig. 1 page
3) to regulate welding current.
4 - OVERHEATING WARNING LIGHT The yellow LED (Rif.4 - Fig.
1 page 3) on the front panel indicates overheating due to an
excessive duty cycle. Interrupt welding operation; leave the
power source on until the lamp goes out, thereby signalling that
temperature has returned to normal.
5 - WELDING MODE SELECTOR Select with the switch (Rif.5 -
Fig. 1 page 3) the wished welding modality .
Manual GTAW (TIG) welding
Appliance preset for GTAW (TIG) welding with slope down.
Press the torch push button to switch the welding current on.
When the pushbutton is released the current will gradually
diminish until it switches off.
Automatic GTAW (TIG) welding.
torch push button provides four functions.
The first time it is pressed, the gas flow is enabled and when
released the welding current comes on.
The second time the torch push button is pressed, the slope
down is enabled (welding current gradually diminishes until it
switches off) and when released the welding current is cut off.
Appliànce preset for coated electrode welding.
6 - SLOPE DOWN REGULATION
The regulation of (Rif.6 - Fig. 1 page 3) slope down time can be
set continuosly from 0.2 to 10 seconds and works after the
release of push-botton torch.
7 - PRE GAS REGULATION
Regulation (Rif.7 - Fig. 1 page 3) of the delay time of the arc
primer with screw-driver as regards the gas that has to arrive to
the torch to protect the welding bath. Regulation time from 0,1
to 1 second.
9 - GAS OUTLET FITTING
Connect the gas pipe leading (Rif.9 - Fig. 1 page 3) to the elec-
trode torch to this fitting and fully tighten.
10 - SOCKET TORCH PUSHBUTTON (Rif.10 - Fig. 1 page 3) .
