(5) on the front of the device.
3. Connect the TIG equipment to the gas connector
(10). The gas supply connector (12) must be
connected to the shielding gas bottle via the
pressure reducer. The gas delivery rate can be
set on the pressure reducer and on the handle of
the TIG hose package. A gas delivery rate of
approx. 5 – 15 l/min should be set depending on
the welding current and the material to be
welded.
4. Before you start welding, the tungsten needle
must be sharpened. Which tungsten needle
should be used with which welding current is
shown in the table below:
Electrode (tungsten needle)
diameter (mm)
1.6
2.0
2.4
5. When you insert the tungsten needle, please
note that it should project around 5 mm out of the
ceramic nozzle.
6. Now open the gas valve on the burner.
7. Switch on the device and set the welding current
using the potentiometer (1).
8. To ignite the torch now place the ceramic nozzle
at an angle to the material you wish to weld and
guide the tungsten needle over the material
using even, rocking movements until an arc is
generated. Maintain a constant distance to the
workpiece for welding (approx. 1 to 1.5 times the
electrode diameter). Put the welding torch and
the ground terminal on an insulated surface
when you have finished the welding.
9. Overheating guard and fuse
The welding set is fitted with an overheating guard
that protects the welding transformer from
overheating. If the overheating guard trips, the
control lamp (4) on your set will be lit. Allow the
welding set to cool for a time.
There is an equipment fuse (14) on the rear of the
equipment. If the equipment no longer works, pull the
mains plug out of the socket and open the cover on
the fuse (14) using a screwdriver. If the thread in the
fusible insert has burned out, replace it by a fuse with
the same nominal rating (250 mA, characteristic M).
10. Maintenance
Remove dust and dirt from the machine at regular
intervals. Cleaning is best carried out with a fine
brush or a cloth.
