Safety Guidelines These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cutting machines unless otherwise noted. The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for. Using it in any other way could result in damage or injury and in breach of the safety rules. Only suitably trained and competent persons should use the equipment.

Wear suitable protective flame resistant clothing. The sparks and spatter from welding, hot work pieces, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause arcs, explosion, overheating, or fire.

LF Declaration Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements. Due to the elevated absorbency of the primary current from the power supply network, high power systems affect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connection restrictions or maximum impedance requirements permitted by the network at the public network connection point must be applied to these systems.
For your own safety and that of your working environment, pay particular attention to the safety instructions in the manual.

4T Mode This is known as ’latching’ mode. The trigger is pulled once and released to activate the welding circuit, pulled and released again to stops the welding circuit. This function is useful to longer welds as the trigger is not required to be held on continuously. TIG series of welding machines also has more current control options that can be used in 4T mode.
Post current setting Available in 4T trigger mode only, sets a welding current 5~100% of the peak welding current activated when the trigger is held on to ‘unlatch’ the trigger before the weld is finished. If downslope is set, the current will go through the downslope period before going to the end current set.
