DO NOT allow the use of flammable gases! Use of other gases is allowed only in agreement

with the equipment manufacturer.

ATTENTION! TIG torch must be of the valve type, with bayonet connector Ø9mm for

StandardMIG-160 and Ø13mm for StandardMIG- 200/250 & 270/350-400V. The maximum

torch current must be selected according to the operating requirements.

WARNING! One common mistake is to sharpen the electrode on the 'needle', while the arc

may 'wander' from side to side. Correct sharpening is a slightly blunted tip, and the less

sharpened it can withstand the set current, the better. Note that at high welding currents, a

very sharpened electrode melts easily due to its low thermal conductivity. In addition, the

'stripes' created by sharpening should be along the axis of the electrode.

Procedure for preparing the device for operation:

insert the torch cable into the source B "-" socket;

insert the "ground" cable into the source A "+" socket;

connect the "ground" cable to the piece;

install the reducer on the gas cylinder;

connect the gas hose of the torch to the reducer of the gas cylinder;

open the valve of the gas cylinder, check the tightness;

connect the mains cable to the power supply;

turn the mains switch 14 on the rear panel to the "ON" position;

set the welding mode TIG with button 4. The modes are switched in a circle;

set the current main parameter (the welding current) with button 1;

If necessary, you can adjust additional functions of the welding process, see paragraph 6.1.
