- Page 5 Safety Information General Safety Precautions Electric Shock: Can be fatal. Ensure proper grounding and avoid touching live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves, or wet clothing. Insulate yourself from the workpiece and maintain a safe stance. Fumes and Gases: Hazardous to health. Ensure good ventilation and use fume extraction systems to keep fumes and gases away from your breathing zone.
- Page 6 2. Safety Information Avoid Live Electrical Parts: Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit are electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on. Proper Connection: Connect the primary input cable according to local standards and regulations.
- Page 7 3. Safety Information Gas Cylinders: Gas cylinders contain high-pressure gas and can explode if damaged. Protect cylinders from heat, physical damage, and ensure they are secured upright. Do not allow the welding electrode or earth clamp to touch the cylinder. Gas Build-Up: Accumulation of gas can create a toxic environment.
- Page 8 Additional Safety Info Emergency Procedures In case of fire: Know the location of fire extinguishers and how to use them. Be aware that sparks can travel through small cracks and openings, causing fires in adjacent areas. First Aid: Familiarize yourself with first aid procedures for electric shock, burns, and inhalation of fumes.

Main Menu rotate and select to return Main Menu LIFT TIG: This mode requires the tungsten to touch the metal, then press the button and lift to start the arc.
- Page 17 TIG Welding Functions Main Menu Function: PRE FLOW (1-10 Seconds) Provides gas to the weld zone prior to striking the arc, reducing weld porosity at the start of a weld. Function: START AMPS Sets the start current for TIG. In 4T mode, the Initial Current remains on until the torch trigger switch is released.
- Page 18 TIG Welding Functions Function: BUTTON CONTROL (2T, 4T, TACK CONTROL 0.1 - 10 Seconds) 2T MODE: Press and hold the switch. The program will cycle automatically. Release to terminate with post gas flow. 4T MODE: Press and hold to start the pre-flow, then start amps part of the cycle.
- Page 19 Maintenance General Maintenance Regular maintenance of the FEROTIG 200 is essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Follow these guidelines for proper maintenance: Exterior Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the power source regularly using a dry brush or compressed air.
- Page 20 Troubleshooting Tungsten Corrodes Quickly: Incorrect gas: Check that 100% Argon is being used. No gas: Check the gas cylinder contains gas and is connected. Inadequate gas flow: Check the gas is connected, check hoses, gas valve, and torch are not restricted. Set the gas flow between 15–25 CFH (7–12 LMN) flow rate.
- Page 21 Troubleshooting Incorrect tungsten size and or tungsten being used: Grind marks should run lengthwise with tungsten, not circular. Use proper grinding method and wheel. Contaminated base metal: Remove all grease, oil, or moisture from filler metal. Incorrect filler wire: Remove contaminating materials like paint, grease, oil, and dirt, including mill scale from base metal.
