1. The green wire inside the cord is connected to

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.

• DC TIG Welding is used to weld mild steel and stainless steel using a TIG Rod and shielding gas. (To weld aluminum, an AC TIG Welder must be used.)

• Stick Welding is used to weld mild steel and stainless steel using a Stick Electrode without shielding gas.

Good welding takes a degree of skill and experience. Practice a few sample welds on scrap before welding your first project. Additional practice periods are recommended whenever you weld:

• a different thickness of material

• a different type of material

• a different type of connection

• using a different process

1. Clean the weld surfaces thoroughly with a wire brush or angle grinder; there must be no rust, paint, oil, or other materials on the weld surfaces, only bare metal.

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.

Cycle defines the number of minutes, within a 10 minute period, during which a given welding process can produce a particular welding current without overheating.

For example, a 30% duty cycle at 165 A welding current must be allowed to rest for at least 7 minutes after every 3 minutes of continuous welding.

Failure to carefully observe duty cycle limitations can easily over-stress a welder’s power generation system contributing to premature welder failure.

This welder has an internal thermal protection system to help prevent this sort of over-stress. When the Welder overheats, it automatically shuts down and the Overload Indicator lights. The welder automatically returns to service after cooling off. Rest the Tig Torch or Electrode Holder on an electrically non-conductive, heat-proof surface, such as a concrete slab, well clear of the ground clamp.

EVACP6-% 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.

EVA6- Settings are approximate. Adjust as necessary.

CDUV;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.

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.

EVA6- 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.

13. Set TIG Torch down on nonconductive, nonflammable surface away from any grounded objects.

14. Turn the Amperage Knob to the lowest setting, then turn the Power Switch off.

15. To prevent accidents, after use:

• Allow Welder to cool down.

• Unplug Welder’s power cord from outlet.

• Remove Ground Clamp from workpiece or table.

• Disconnect TIG Torch, Ground and Food Pedal Cables.

• Close gas cylinder’s valve securely, remove regulator and replace cap.

• Disconnect Gas Hose from Welder.

• Store and secure gas cylinder.

• Clean, then store Welder and its accessories indoors out of children’s reach.

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 R*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.

• Unplug Welder’s power cord from outlet.

• Remove Ground Clamp.

• Disconnect TIG Torch and Ground Cables.

• Close gas cylinder’s valve securely and replace cap.

• Disconnect Gas Hose from Welder. Store and secure gas cylinder.

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 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.

Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and durability standards, and warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the period of one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly, to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation charges prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise. If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or we may elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We will return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
