In TIG welding, manipulate the gas bottle carefully. Indeed, there are risks if the bottle or the bottle
TROUBLESHOOTING
Anomalies
The device does not deliver any current
and the yellow indicator lamp of thermal
defect lights up.
The display is on but the device does not
deliver any current.
If, when the unit is on and you put your
hand on the welding unit's body, you feel
tingling sensation.
Your unit does not weld correctly.
When starting up, the display indicates
during one second and turns off.
Instable arc
The tungsten electrode gets oxidised and
tern at the end of welding.
The electrode melts
Suppress all flammable products from the working area. Do not works near flammable gas.
Do not inhale gas or welding smokes. If indoors ventilate the area well and/or use local
extraction ventilation equipment to remove fumes and gases.
Any welding operation :
- in environments with increased risk of electric shock,
- in confined spaces,
- in the presence of flammable or explosive materials
must be evaluated in advance by an "Expert supervisor" and must always be carried out in
the presence of other people trained to intervene in case of emergency.
Technical protection measures MUST BE taken as described in the TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION "IEC 62081".
Welding in raised positions is forbidden unless safety platforms are used.
Do not use the unit to thaw tubing.
valve are damaged.
Causes
The welder thermal
protection has turned on.
The cable of the earth
clamp or electrode holder
is not connected to the
welder.
The welding unit is not
correctly connected to
the earth.
Polarity error.
The voltage is not
included in the range
230V +/- 15%
Default coming from the
tungsten electrode
Too important gas flow
rate
Welding zone
Default
coming
from
post-gas or the gas has
been
stopped
prematurely.
Polarity error
Remedies
Wait for the end of the cooling
time, around 2 minutes. The
indicator lamp turns off.
Check the connections.
Check the plug and the earth of
your electrical network.
Check the polarity advised on the
electrode packaging.
Have the electrical installation
checked.
Use a tungsten electrode with the
adequate size
Use a well prepared tungsten
electrode
Reduce gas flow rate
Protect welding zone against air
flows
Increase post-gas duration
