Tool Set Up To prevent serious injury from accidental operation: Turn the Power Switch of the tool to its “OFF” position and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. Connection of a 230V UL listed plug rated to at least 20 Amps to this unit must only be performed by a certified electrician. The plug installed for the Welder must match the receptacle. Work Piece and Work Area Set Up Designate a work area that is clean 1. and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury and distraction. Route the power cord along a safe 2. route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working. Secure loose work pieces using a 3. vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working. For greater safety; ground the workpiece. There must not be hazardous ob4. jects, such as utility lines or foreign objects, nearby that will present a hazard while working.

Light from the arc can cause permanent damage to the eyes and skin. Do not breathe arc fumes. Place the Welder on a level surface 1. that can bear its weight near the work area. Connect a 12 AWG ground wire (not 2. included) to the Ground Post on the rear of the Welder (see page 12) and route it to ground. If possible, ground the workpiece independent of the welder. TIG Connection TIG Torch ControlCable PlugGas Outlet Hose 1. Connect the TIG torch control, cable plug, and gas outlet hose as shown on page 12. Twist to lock in place. Plug the cable of the Grounding 2. Clamp (34) into the welder and secure the clamp to a clean, exposed metal part of the workpiece. Assemble the desired accessories 3. and rod inside the tip of the TIG Torch handle. Unscrew the Ceramic Nozzle (6A) a. on the Torch Handle (4A). Unscrew the Collet Housing (5A).b. Place a 5/32” prepared tungsten c. welding rod (not included) into the torch. Screw the Collet Housing and Ced. ramic Nozzle back onto the Torch. Connect a hose and coupling from 4. the gas regulator on an Argon gas tank (none included) to the Argon Gas Inlet on the back of the unit. Follow the gas cylinder manufacturer’s instructions for set-up and use. The Gas Flow Delay Switch allows 5. control of how long the shielding gas flows. To conserve shielding gas switch it to “short”. If the welded surface is being tarnished, change the switch to “long”. TIG Welding Turn the Current Adjustment Knob to 6. meet the needs of the job. Move the Stick or TIG Switch to “TIG” 7. (bottom position). Plug the power cord into a grounded 8. 230V electric socket and turn the Welder on. DANGER! To prevent serious injury and death: The TIG Welder will immediately turn on when the trigger is held down. When the operator is not holding the Torch, it must be sitting on a nonconductive, nonflammable surface. Hold the Trigger down and tilt the 9. torch forward. Keep a constant distance between the torch and the workpiece but do not contact it. DANGER! To prevent serious injury and death: Feed the filler metal being used into the arc with a properly insulated holder (not included). If too much current is drawn from the 10. welder; the Thermal Overload protector will activate, the Overload indicator will light, and the welder will turn off until it cools down. It will automatically reset. Arc (stick) Connection Connect the Electrode Clamp and 1. Cable (33) to the Arc Welder, as shown on page 12 and twist to lock in place. Plug the cable of the Grounding 2. Clamp (34) into the welder and secure the clamp to a clean, exposed metal part of the workpiece. Place the metal portion of the welding 3. rod inside the jaws of the Electrode Clamp. Welding rod types vary for welding different metals. Arc Welding Move the Stick or TIG Switch to “Arc” 4. (top position). Turn the Current Adjustment Knob to 5. meet the needs of the job. Plug the power cord into a grounded 6. 230V electric socket and turn the Welder on. DANGER!
