• Turn the machine on using the switch (F).
• Adjust the current based on the diameter of the electrode,
the welding position and the type of joint to be made. Always
remember to shut off the machine and remove the elec-
trode from the clamp after welding.
3.3 TIG WELDING
• This welding machine is suitable for welding the following
materials using the TIG procedure: stainless steel, iron, cop-
per.
• Make sure that the switch (F) is in position 0.
• Connect the mass cable connector to the positive pole (+)
of the welding machine, and the clamp to the workpiece as
close as possible to the welding point.
• Use the torch type T150 (art. 1567.01) and connect the
power connector to the negative pole (-) of the welding
machine.
• Connect the gas hose to the outlet of the pressure regula-
tor, connected to an ARGON cylinder.
. Press the torch trigger and adjust the gas flow.
• Inside the torch is a valve that blocks the gas flow when the
trigger is released.
. Use a 2% thorium-covered tungsten electrode (red strip),
diameter 1.6 (1/16").
• Do not touch the electrode and mass terminal simultaneou-
sly.
• Turn the machine on using the switch (F).
• Adjust the current, then press the torch trigger to allow gas
to escape.
• Strike the arc by contact using a firm, rapid stroke.
• Remember to shut off the machine and close the gas cylin-
der valve when you have finished welding.
