SAFETY INSTRUCTION These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cutting machines unless otherwise noted. It is important that users of this equipment protect yourselves and others from harm or even death. 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Welding arc rays from all welding processes produce intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. • Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with an appropriate shade of filter lens to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION Safety against fumes and welding gases The HSE have identified welders as being an ‘at risk’ group for occupational diseases arising from exposure to dusts, gases, vapours and welding fumes. The main identified health effects are pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung and kidney cancer, metal fume fever (MFF) and lung function changes.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION The Working environment Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable position allowing for cooling air circulation. Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down operating parameters. The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow. Always store the machine in a clean, dry space.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION RF Declaration Equipment that complies with directive 2014/30/EU concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and the technical requirements of EN60974-10 is designed for use in industrial buildings and not those for domestic use where electricity is provided via the low voltage public distribution system. Difficulties may arise in assuring class A electromagnetic compatibility for systems installed in domestic locations due to conducted and radiated emissions.

GUIDE TO TIG WELDING Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and protective clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding area. TIG welding electrodes TIG welding electrodes are a ‘non consumable’ as it is not melted into the weld pool and great care should be taken not to let the electrode contact the welding pool to avoid weld contamination.
Page 37
The TIG process can use both non contact and contact methods to provide arc starting. Depending on the Jasic model, the options are indicated on a selector switch on the front control panel of the power source. The most common method of arc starting is ‘HF’ start. This term is often used for a variety of starting methods and covers many different types of start.

GUIDE TO TIG WELDING Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and protective clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding area. Arc starting - lift TIG (lift arc) Not to be confused with scratch start, this arc starting method allows the tungsten to be in direct contact with the work piece first but with minimal current so as not to leave a tungsten deposit when the tungsten is lifted and an arc is established.
