Torch Cable
The 9ft long torch cable delivers the welding current and shielding gas to the arc.
Gas Flow Valve
This torch gas connection goes directly to the inert regulator/flowgauge connected to your bottle of
shielding gas. This valve controls the flow of shielding gas for welding.
Nozzle
Three nozzles are supplied with this TIG torch. These nozzles direct the flow of the shielding gas
from the TIG torch to the arc
Collet
Three collets are supplied with the TIG Torch. They are sized to the size of the tungsten you will be
using. They hold the tungsten into the TIG Torch.
Inert Gas Connection
This connection is used to connect your source of shielding gas to the TIG torch. Connect this
connection to your shielding gas regulator.
INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION OF TIG TORCH
1.1 Remove the ground cable and the electrode holder from the weld output connections. Install the
ground cable to the Positive (+) weld output connection.
1.2 Secure the ground clamp to the work piece
1.3 Connect a regulator to a bottle of ARGON gas. Then connect the gas connection from the TIG
torch to the regulator.
1.4 Connect the TIG torch weld cable to the Negative (-) weld output connection.
1.5 Set desired amperage on the amperage control knob on the front panel of the welder.
1.6 Turn on the input power switch on the welder.
Be aware that the TIG torch will be electrically HOT when the Input Power Switch on the welder is
turned on.
1.7 Turn on the regulator on the bottle of shielding gas and adjust the regulator to approximately 20
CFH. Then open the shielding gas valve on the torch to start the flow of shielding gas.
EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN!
Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never strike an arc
or begin welding until you are adequately protected. Wear flame-proof welding gloves, a
heavy long sleeved shirt, trousers without cuffs, high topped shoes, and an ANSI approved
welding helmet.
1.8 Touch the tungsten that is installed in the TIG torch, to the work piece and quickly pull away
approximately 1/4" to create an arc.
