is no need to ground the Welder.
2. The metal work bench must be properly grounded
in accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation. Have the work bench grounded by a qualified electrician if you are not qualified to do so.
2. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
3. To ground the work bench, connect a #12 AWG grounding wire (not included) from the work bench to a grounding rod (not included). The grounding rod must be an earth-driven copper or brass rod (electrode) which can adequately ground the work bench.
4. Refer to local regulations for ground source information.

Attach Ground Clamp to bare metal on the workpiece near the weld area, or to metal work bench where the workpiece is clamped.
%
2. Use clamps (not included) to hold the workpieces in position so that you can concentrate on proper welding technique. The distance (if any) between the two workpieces must be controlled properly to allow the weld to hold both sides securely while allowing the weld to penetrate fully into the joint. The edges of thicker workpieces may need to be chamfered (or beveled) to allow proper weld penetration.
NOTICE: When welding equipment on a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle battery power from both the positive connection and the ground before welding. This prevents damage to some vehicle electrical systems and electronics due to the high voltage and high frequency bursts common in welding.

EXACR6-% TIG welding is a complicated process,
requiring experience and skill to achieve successful results. Training beyond the scope of this manual is required to TIG weld properly.
1. Open gas cylinder’s valve all the way.
2. Set Flow Gauge to SCFH value indicated on Settings Chart on top of Welder.
3. Turn the Power Switch to the OFF position, then plug the Welder into a properly grounded, GFCI
protected, 120 VAC (20 amp rated) outlet or 240V
outlet. The circuit must be equipped with delayed action-type circuit breaker or fuses.
4. Set TIG Torch down on nonconductive, nonflammable surface away from any grounded objects.
5. Turn the Power Switch ON.
6. Set amperage according to Settings Chart on top of Welder. Set to high end of amperage range. For example: Range is 80-100A, set amperage to 100A.
EXA6- Settings are approximate. Adjust as necessary.
CDWX;A@EA- If Welder is plugged into 120V outlet, set
amperage according to settings on white band. If Welder is plugged into 240V outlet, set amperage according to settings on orange band.

EXA6- Maintain a constant distance between the Tungsten Electrode and the workpiece: between 1 and 1.5 times the diameter of the Electrode.
10. When welding puddle is hot enough, tilt torch backward about 10-15 degrees from vertical and move it back slightly. Add TIG Rod material as needed to the front end of the weld puddle.
11. Alternate between pushing the torch/weld puddle and adding the TIG Rod material.
EXA6- Back the TIG Rod off each time the Electrode is advanced, but do not remove it from the gas shield. This prevents oxidation from contaminating the weld.
12. When finished welding, release the Foot Pedal, but keep Torch on weld puddle until gas flow ends.

After practice welding on scrap, stop,
and check your progress. Perform
Strike Test, then clean and compare your
weld’s appearance with the diagrams and
descriptions in the T*79"83%A"/# section
starting on the next page. After making any
necessary adjustments, continue to weld
while carefully following the DUTY CYCLE
guidelines as explained on page 14.
6. Place the bare metal end of the Stick Electrode (sold separately) inside the jaws of the Electrode Holder.
7. Stroke the workpiece lightly to initiate the arc. Tips for igniting the arc:
a. Tap the surface with the Electrode.
b. Stroke the surface with the Electrode.
c. Strike the surface like a match with the Electrode.
8. After the arc initiates:
a. Lift the Electrode off workpiece the same
distance as the diameter of the bare metal end.
b. Tilt Electrode back 10 to 20 degrees.
c. Drag Electrode to the back end of the weld
puddle to deposit material as needed.
9. When finished welding; lift the Electrode from the workpiece, then set Electrode Holder down on nonconductive, nonflammable surface away from any grounded objects.
10. Turn the Power Switch off.
11. To prevent accidents, after use:
• Allow Welder to cool down.

A good way to test welding technique is to examine a weld’s appearance after it has cooled and the slag has been removed (for Stick welds). Then, better welding can be
?@<6AQ D@CEA6E@ER6S@?CR%T6GUCEV T6GUCEV%ACW?SETUP
learned by adjusting your weld technique to remedy any problems found.
NOTICE: TIG welding is a complicated process, requiring experience and skill to achieve successful results. Training beyond the scope of this manual is required to TIG weld properly.
