MACHINE CARE / SAFETY Keep the welding cables, earth clamp and electrode holder in good condition. Failure to do this can result in poor welding quality, which could be dangerous in structural situations. Prior to use, check for breakage of parts and any other conditions that may affect operation of the welder. Any part of the welder that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will perform its intended function whilst being safe for the operator.
WORK AREA Ensure a clear, well lit work area with unrestricted movement for the operator. The work area should be well ventilated, as welding emits fumes which can be dangerous. Always maintain easy access to the ON/OFF switch of the welder, and the electrical mains supply. Do not expose the welder to rain and do not operate in damp or wet locations Where welding must be undertaken in environments with increased risk of electric shock, confined spaces or in the presence of flammable or explosive materials, it is important that the environment be evaluated in advance...
IMPORTANT! - We strongly recommend that you check for gas leakage prior to operation of your machine. We recommend that you close the cylinder valve when the machine is not in use. BOSSWELD, authorised representatives or agents of BOSSWELD will not be liable or responsible for the loss of any gas.

DUTY CYCLE Special note: If this welders duty cycle is exceeded the welder will enter “thermal overload” which will automatically stop the welding output in order to protect, both the user and the welder. You will know the welder has gone into thermal overload when the overload error indicator light is illuminated.

MANUAL METAL ARC PROCESS (MMA WELDING) When an arc is struck between the metal rod (electrode) and the workpiece, both the rod and workpiece surface melt to form a weld pool. Simultaneous melting of the flux coating on the rod will form gas and slag which protects the weld pool from the surrounding atmosphere.

BASIC TIG WELDING GUIDE FLUX COATING PROCESS CHARACTERISTICS In the TIG process the arc is formed between a pointed tungsten electrode and the workpiece in an inert atmosphere of argon. The small intense arc provided by the pointed electrode is ideal for high quality and precision welding.

AC / DC WELDING - CONTINUE AC welding is also the preferred method for: • TIG welding aluminum, because the current supports welding at a higher temperature. • Making repairs on machinery because the machinery usually has a magnetized field and is older and may have rusty areas where there is concern about the higher heat penetration that can occur with DC welding.
PULSE TIG WELDING TIG welding with the pulse feature is most often done for thin metals such as aluminum and can also be used with copper and varieties of steel. Pulsing can be set up with a foot pedal or as a setting on your TIG welder, but when should you use pulsing? There are some very specific applications for pulsing with a TIG welder and then there are times when it can just come in handy to get a job done better.
