E. Fit the welding grade shielding gas regulator/flowmeter to the shielding gas cylinder (refer to Section 3.06) then
connect the shielding gas hose from the TIG torch to the regulator/flowmeter outlet. Note that the TIG torch shield-
ing gas hose is connected directly to the regulator/flowmeter. The power source is not fitted with a shielding gas
solenoid to control the gas flow in LIFT TIG mode therefore the TIG torch will require a gas valve.
!
WARNING
Before connecting the work clamp to the work and inserting the electrode in the TIG Torch make sure the
Electricity Supply is switched OFF.
Secure the welding grade shielding gas cylinder in an upright position by chaining it to a stationary support
to prevent falling or tipping.
CAUTION
Remove any packaging material prior to use. Do not block the air vents at the front or rear of the Welding
Power Source.
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the
terminal.
F. Switch the LOCAL/REMOTE switch inside the
wire feed compartment to LOCAL to use the
Power Sources Amperage control or REMOTE
for remote amperage using a Foot Control.

Connect to shielding gas
regulator/flow gauge.
Secure the gas cylinder
in an upright position by
chaining it to a stationary
support to prevent falling
or tipping.
Note: A Tweco 26V TIG torch with
an 8 pin plug must be used to turn the
weld current on/off via the TIG torch trigger
switch to TIG weld OR a Tweco Foot
Control with an 8 pin plug must be used to
turn the weld current on/off as well as
providing remote control of the weld current.
