OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING YOUR WORK AREA
1. You must have a sturdy work table that is
open below the area you are cutting. Molten
slag will be blown through the work metal,
and must be able to fall away freely
2. Your work table must allow the work metal
to be firmly clamped to prevent it accidentally
falling or moving.
3. The floor and surrounding area of your work
site must not be flammable. A clean cement
floor is recommended. The cutting process will
eject molten metal slag onto the floor, and it
will scatter for 8-10 feet or more in any direc-
tion. Have an adequate fire extinguisher avail-
able if needed.
ASSEMBLY
Grounding the tool and attach air supply:
1. Attach a ground wire (not supplied)
to the screw in the lower the back of
the machine. Connect the other end
of the wire to an appropriate ground,
such as a steel workbench, steel biding mem-
ber or grounding electrode.
2. Connect the gas air inlet to your
supply Argon by one air hose (not
supplied). And remember to fasten
it with coupling.
WARNING: Only use dry Argon as the gas in
this tool. Use of any other gas, such as oxygen,
acetylene, etc. may cause explosion.
OPERATION
NOTE: Before beginning, please read and
understand all the safety precautions staring
on page 1 and especially the section "Specific
Safety Rules".
1. Mount the metal to be cut to the metal
weeding-cutting table. It should be mounted
so that the cutting debris falls to the cement
floor.
2. Place the welder unit no closer than six feet
from the workpiece to be cut.
3. Connect the TIG torch control, cable plug,
and gas outlet hose. Twist to lock in place.

4. Plug in the Grounding Cable into the Ground
Connector on the lower left of the unit front.
Twist to lock.
5. Securely place the clamping end of the
Grounding Cable Clamp to a part of the work-
piece or metal table that is clean of paint,
oil, or dirt. Clamp as close as possible to the
workpiece without damaging the cable during
welding.
6. Assemble the desired accessories and rod
inside the tip of the TIG Torch handle.
a. Unscrew the Ceramic Nozzle on the Torch
Handle.
b. Unscrew the Collect Housing.
c. Place a 5/32" prepared tungsten welding
rod (not included) into the torch.
d. Screw the Collect Housing and Ceramic
Nozzle back onto the Torch.
7. Connect a hose and coupling from the gas
regulator on an Argon gas tank (none includ-
ed) to the Argon Gas Inlet on the back of the
unit. Follow the gas cylinder manufacturer's
instructions for set-up and use.
8. Verify that the Power Switch is in the off
position, then plug the 220 V~ line cord plug
into an appropriate 220 V~ outlet.
9. When everything is in place for welding,
press the Power Switch UP to the ON position.
The Power will be on, but the Torch is not yet
energized.
10. Press the torch and orient yourself to one
side of the area to be welded, and move the
Welding Helmet Face Shield (not included)
over your eyes.
CAUTION: The Torch handle is now ener-
gized. Be careful not touch anything else with
the Torch except the workpiece to be welded.
DANGER! To prevent serious injury and death:
The TIG Welder will immediately turn on when
the trigger is held down.
11. Direct torch away from people and flam-
mables, while you press (and hold) the Torch
Handle Trigger to energize the Torch Electrode.
12. Hold the Trigger down and tilt the torch
forward. Keep a constant distance between
the torch and the workpiece but do not con-
tact it.
13. Stroke the workpiece lightly to ignite the
arc. Do not strike like a match. Never tap the
electrode wire to ignite the arc; it will damage
the electrode.
