Safety
General Commissioning of the power source is described using a standard configuration for the
main TIG welding application.
The standard configuration consists of the following system components:
- Power source
- TIG manual welding torch
- Pressure regulator
- Gas cylinder
Connecting the
gas cylinder
Secure the gas cylinder
Take the protective cap off the gas cylinder
Briefly open the gas cylinder valve to remove any dust or dirt
Check the seal on the pressure regulator
Screw the pressure regulator onto the gas cylinder and tighten it
When using a TIG welding torch with an integral gas connector:
Use the gas hose to connect the pressure regulator to the shielding gas connection on
the rear of the power source
Tighten the union nut on the gas hose
When using a TIG welding torch with no integral gas connector:
Connect the TIG welding torch gas hose to the pressure regulator
Establishing a
ground (earth)
connection to the
workpiece
Move the mains switch to the "O" position
Plug the grounding (earthing) cable into the (+) current socket and latch it in place
Use the other end of the grounding (earthing) cable to establish a connection to the
workpiece
WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. If the machine is plugged into the
mains electricity supply during installation, there is a high risk of very serious in-
jury and damage. Do not carry out any work on the device unless
- the mains switch is in the "O" position,
- the device is unplugged from the mains.
WARNING! If gas cylinders topple over, there is a risk of very serious injury and
damage.
- Place gas cylinders on a solid, level surface in such a way that they remain
stable
- Secure gas cylinders to prevent them from toppling over: fix the safety strap
at the same height as the top part of the cylinder
- Never fix the safety strap around the neck of the cylinder
Follow the gas cylinder manufacturer's safety instructions.
