6.03 SETUP FOR TIG (GTAW) WELDING

A. Connect the TIG Torch to the negative welding terminal (-).
Welding current flows from the power source via
DINSE terminals. It is essential, however, that the male
plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound
electrical connection.
B. Connect the TIG torch trigger switch via the 8 pin socket
located on the front of the power source as shown below. The
TIG torch will require a trigger switch to operate in TIG Mode.
C. Switch the Power Source ON/OFF switch located on the
rear of the Power Source to the ON position and ensure the
Power indicator on the Front Panel is illuminated.
D. Select TIG mode with the process selection control
(refer to section 6.01 for further information).

CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause
overheating and result in the male plug being fused
in the terminal. Remove any packaging material
prior to use. Do not block the air vents at the front
or rear of the Welding Power Source.

OPERATING MANUAL
E. Connect the work lead to the positive welding terminal (+).
Welding current flows from the Power Source via DINSE
terminals. It is essential, however, that the male plug is
inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical
connection.
F. Fit the welding grade shielding gas regulator/flowmeter
to the shielding gas cylinder (refer to Section 6.02) then
connect the shielding gas hose from the TIG torch to
the regulator/flowmeter outlet. Note that the TIG torch
shielding gas hose is connected directly to the regulator/
flowmeter. Refer to Section 6.04 for recommended
Shielding Gas flow rates and other TIG Welding information.
WARNING
Before connecting the work clamp to the work
make sure the mains power supply is switched off.
CAUTION
Secure the welding grade shielding gas cylinder in an upright
position by chaining it to a suitable stationary support to
prevent falling or tipping.
