Page 7: Machine Care / Safety Instructions
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. -
Page 8: Work Area Safety
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... -

TIG WELDING - CONTINUED This risk can be minimised using the ‘lift arc’ technique where the short-circuit is formed at a very low current level. The most common way of starting the TIG arc is to use HF (High Frequency). HF consists of FLUX COATING high voltage sparks of several thousand volts which last for a few microseconds. -
Page 18: Tig Welding Setup
TUNGSTEN SELECTION / PREPARATION & GRINDING ELECTRODES Electrodes for DC welding are normally pure tungsten with 1 to 4% thoria to improve arc ignition. Alternative additives are lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide which are claimed to give superior performance (arc starting and lower electrode consumption). -
