Environmental Rating

The PRECISION TIG® 225 power source carries an
IP21S environmental rating. It may be used in normal
industrial and commercial environments. Avoid using it
in environments which have falling water such as rain.
Read and follow "Electric Shock Warnings" in the
Safety section if welding must be performed under
electrically hazardous conditions such as welding in
wet areas or on or in the workpiece.
• The PRECISION TIG® 225 must be located where
there is free circulation of clean air such that air
movement in and out the back air vents will not be
restricted.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the PRECISION
TIG® 225 should be kept to a minimum. Failure to
observe these precautions can result in excessive
operating temperatures and nuisance shutdown.

GRINDING

Do not direct grinding particles towards the welder. An
abundance of conductive material can cause mainte-
nance problems.

STACKING

PRECISION TIG® 225 cannot be stacked.
