GEN ER A L IN TR ODU C T I ON RIRCHMOND CT312, CT416 and CT520 are multi-functional welders made with state-of-art inverter technology. They have three functions: TIG, MMA, and CUT. The advanced inverter technology used in our welders and cutters allows for converting 50/60Hz working frequency to high frequency of up to 100Hz, with high power factor V-MOS, and then reducing and rectifying the voltage, and producing a high power output with PWM for welding and cutting, thus greatly reducing the weight and size of the main components (transistors), and, at the same time, raising the efficiency by 30%.

(2) Install the meter to the regulator. (3) Fasten the regulator support rack to the back of the machine as shown in the figure. (4) Fasten the air regulator to the support rack as shown in the figure. (5) Air pressure is displayed in the dial. (6) Lift the pressure adjustment knob to adjust the pressure as desired, and, when done, push the pressure adjustment knob down.

III. OPERATION 3-1 TIG (1) Turn the power switch on the panel to “ON”, and the pilot light and the fan will come on. (2) Set the operation mode switch to the TIG position. (3) Turn on the argon gas switch, and set gas flow/pressure at desired level. Push down the button on the torch, and the electromagnetic valve will begin to work.
IV. CAUTIONS 4-1 Working Environment (1) The location where this machine is placed should be of little dust and no corrosive chemical gases or flammable gases and materials, with maximum moisture of no more than 80%; (2) Do not operate this machine in the open air unless the working area is sheltered from the sunshine, rain, water, snow, etc.
V. MAINTENANCE Clear the dust at regular intervals with clean and dry compressed air. Set the air flow at a reasonable pressure to avoid damaging small parts in the machine. If the working area is dusty, damp and heavy in smoke or corrosive gases, this machine should be cleaned at least once a month.
VI. TROUBLE SHOOTING Caution: For safety reasons, only qualified technicians are allowed to work on this unit if there’s an electrical failure. It is strongly recommended that, under all circumstances, you should contact the manufacturer, your authorized dealer or take this manual and your unit (if out of warranty) to a certified professional for diagnoses. 6-1 CT312 Trouble-Shooting Problems Possible Causes...
