location (such as a sturdy table leg). If the pressurized gas cylinder were to tip and become damaged there is
possibility that the tank could become a projectile, expelling the high-pressure shielding gas as propellant.
This will help your shielding gas supply
last longer in case there is a small leak in the tubing. This is also a good safety practice. If the tube becomes

SHIELDING GAS TANK AND REGULATOR SETUP
The following instructions are specic for a Sunstone argon regulator. Other regulators may operate dierently.
Consult instructions that may have come with other regulators.
• Ensure that your shielding gas tank is securely fastened to a stationary point near the
welding area.
• Turn the argon regulator dial (not to be confused with the main argon tank valve) COUN-
TERCLOCKWISE (closed) until it is fully backed out, meaning the dial becomes loose, to
prevent over-pressurization of the line.
• Screw the gas regulator onto the shielding gas tank and tighten fully using a wrench.
• If not already done, insert one end of the included ¼” OD gas tubing into the gas port on
• Connect the other end of the gas tubing to the gas regulator.
• Open the gas tank at the main valve slowly. The dials attached to the regulator should
respond as the valve is opened. The primary dial measures and shows pressure inside
the tank; the secondary dial, which measures pressure in the hose, should remain at zero
(when the regulator dial is fully backed out).
• Slowly turn the regulator dial CLOCKWISE until the secondary dial on the left shows gas
pressure between 7-10 liters per second.
