Adjust the gas fl ow using a fl ow meter.
- Clean and degrease the pieces that are to be welded; protect the tungsten
point from contamination, avoid touching weld puddle or material.
- Adjust the welding parameters, do not exceed the recommended duty cycles
for each of Sumig's torch models mentioned in the replacement parts brochure
attached.

- Be sure there is adequate water fl ow before using the
water-cooled torches.
- Tungsten will become contaminated if it comes in contact
with air while hot.
- Place the earth clamp on the part to be welded or the
gauge, while ensuring there are good conditions for
electrical contact.
Maintenance
- Do not tap the torch to remove spatter. You may
risk damaging the tungsten or the torch.
- Avoid excessive bending to the input and output
water hoses. Never use a water-cooled torch with the
water cooler off . Check the level of liquid in the water
cooler and fi ll with proper mixture periodically.
- Avoid pulling, bending, cutting, and dropping heavy
items on the electrical cable. This will avoid damaging
the electrical insulation causing arc-outs ad the fl ow of
shielding gas as well as water leaking in water-cooled
torches.
- When using water-cooled torches with long cables, fi ll
up the water level in the water cooler at the time of
the installation. Run recirculator and then check water
level again.
