Welding in TIG mode – No Pulse – No remote foot pedal
1. Connect the Tig Torch to machine, connect earth lead to machine & work piece.
2. Set the TIG/MMA switch to TIG
3. Set Pulse Switch to Off position
4. Select 2 or 4 way torch operation
5. Connect Argon gas and set flow to approx 8-12 LPM
6. Set Gas post flow to 3 x diameter of tungsten width
7. Adjust Base current to desired welding current
8. Press the Tig torch switch to start welding
Welding in TIG mode –with Pulse – No remote foot pedal
1. Connect the Tig Torch to machine, connect earth lead to machine & work piece.
2. Set the TIG/MMA switch to TIG
3. Select 2 or 4 way torch operation
4. Connect Argon gas and set flow to approx 8-12 LPM
5. Set Gas post flow to 3 x diameter of tungsten width
6. Set Pulse On/Off switch to ON
7. Adjust Pulse freq. to desired setting (how often pulse happens)
8. Press the Tig torch switch to start welding
The benefits of pulse welding is the ability to control the weld pool and amount of heat absorbed by
work resulting in a smaller heat affected zone which results in fewer deformations and reduced
chance of cracking. There are no set rules for pulse welding as this is down to personal choice by
the welder.
Welding in TIG mode – with Remote foot pedal
1. Connect the Tig Torch to machine, connect earth lead to machine & work piece.
2. Connect remote foot pedal to machine
3. Set the TIG/MMA switch to TIG
4. Select 2 way torch operation
5. Connect Argon gas and set flow to approx 8-12 LPM
6. Set Gas post flow to 3 x diameter of tungsten width
7. Adjust Base current knob on machine to desired maximum welding current.
8. Press the foot pedal to start welding. (on maximum depression it will go to maximum amps
set on machine)
Note: When welding with remote foot pedal
Upon pressing of foot pedal welding arc will start, if you find it hard to start arc push pedal down a
bit further to aid starting.
The benefits of welding with remote foot pedal is greater control of amount of heat going into work.
Press pedal fully to start weld, upon weld pool formation you can slightly release the pedal to
decrease amperage to sustain perfect weld pool and increase again as required to sustain weld
characteristics.
The foot pedal adjusts from Start (min) current to maximum current as set on main current knob on
front of machine.
