strain relief boot onto the torch and connect the fitting
to the adapter. The rubber strain relief boot slips over
the connection and adapter block to provide shock pro-
tection.
To avoid receiving a high frequency shock, keep the
TIG torch and cables in good condition.

WORK CABLE CONNECTION
A work cable with attached work clamp is factory con-
nected to the Square Wave TIG 175. To minimize high
frequency interference, refer to
Machine Grounding
and High Frequency Interference Protection
section
of this manual for the proper procedure on grounding
the work clamp and work piece.
SHIELDING GAS CONNECTION
Obtain the necessary inert shielding gas (usually
argon). Connect a cylinder of gas with a pressure reg-
ulator and flow gage. Install a gas hose between the
regulator and gas inlet (located on the rear of the
welder). The gas inlet has a 5/8-18 right hand female
thread; CGA #032.
The optional undercarriage features a pivoting platform
that simplifies loading and unloading of gas cylinders.
A cylinder is loaded by leaning it slightly sideways and
rolling it toward the platform. The cylinder
’
s weight will
push the platform downward against the floor, forming
a ramp. At this point, the cylinder may be rolled up the
platform into its final position. Secure the cylinder in
place with the provided chain. Unload by following
these steps in reverse.
