Metabo TIG 170 AC-DC User Manual
TIG WELDING SYSTEMS
SOME LIKE IT HOT.
The centrepiece of a TIG welding device is the optimum
ignition and control. That makes welding devices real
perfectionists: they can handle all metals from 0.3 mm
on with direct or alternating current, depending on the
material. Your advantage: They are so good at handling
the concentrated splash-free electric arc, that bother-
e.g. TIG 170 AC/DC
some reworking is now a thing of the past. Metabo wel-
ding systems are produced as highly dependable tools:
Only after successfully passing all air condition, dust
chamber and vibration tests and then being checked
again thoroughly, do they leave our factory.
Digital welding current indicator
with automatic nominal and
actual value changeover.
“HF ignition”
for contact-free ignition
of the TIG electric arc.
2/4-cycle control for
comfortable working.
Electrode function
with switch and automatic hot start, arc
force control and antistick regulation for
perfect, even welding
results without
sticking.
Infinitely adjustable second current
for protecting the material from
overheating.
Automatic finishing
device
Infinitely adjustable
welding current reduction
for a clean welded end.
Continuously
adjustable gas
post flow time
