Important! The TransTig power source has no switchover facility between the rod
electrode DC- and rod electrode DC+ welding processes.
To change over from the rod electrode DC- welding process to the rod electrode DC+
welding process on the TransTig power source, reconnect the electrode holder and the
grounding (earthing) cable to the opposite welding sockets (i.e. swap them over).

Selecting the
operating mode
1.
Warning! Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and
damage. Do not use the functions described here until you have read and
completely understood all of the following documents:
- these Operating Instructions
- all "Operating Instructions" for the system components, especially the
"Safety rules"
Warning! An electric shock can be fatal. If the machine is plugged into the
mains electricity supply during installation, there is a high risk of very serious
injury and damage. Only carry out work on the machine when
- the mains switch is in the "OFF" position,
- the machine is unplugged from the mains.
Switch the mains switch "OFF"
Unplug the machine from the mains
Disconnect the TIG welding torch
Plug the grounding (earthing) cable into the "plus" current socket and twist it to
fasten it
Use the other end of the grounding (earthing) cable to establish a connection to the
workpiece
Plug the welding cable into the "minus" current socket and twist it clockwise to latch
it into place
Plug in the mains plug
Caution! Risk of injury and damage from electric shock. As soon as the mains
switch is in the "ON" position, the rod electrode in the electrode holder is LIVE.
Make sure that the rod electrode does not touch any persons or electrically
conducting or earthed parts (e.g. housing, etc.)
Switch the mains switch "ON" - all the indicators on the control panel will briefly light
up
