STICK WELDING

1.Turn the welder “ON”. The digital ammeter/voltmeter will illuminate when the power is on.

2.Set the Mode Switch to “STICK”. Set the output cur- rent displayed on the digital ammeter with the Output Control Knob. No other functions or adjust- ments operate in the Stick Mode.

3.Select the desired DC+/AC/DC- electrode polarity.

4.Clamp the electrode in the electrode holder, start the weld by lightly touching the electrode to the work. Stop the weld by pulling the electrode away from the work piece.

AUXILIARY POWER

60 HERTZ DOMESTIC MACHINES

The Square Wave TIG 275 machines rated for 60 Hz operation provides 10 amps of 115 volt AC power at a standard NEMA 5-15R receptacle, located on the lower case back of the machine. This circuit is protect- ed from shorts and overloading by a 10 amp circuit breaker, located next to the receptacle. The auxiliary circuit is intended for running water coolers and small power tools, whose current draw is within the 10 amp rating. Note that some types of equipment, especially pumps and large motors, have starting currents which are significantly higher than their running current. These higher starting currents may cause the circuit breaker to open. If this situation occurs, the user should refrain from using the Square Wave TIG 275 auxiliary for that equipment.

50/60 HERTZ EUROPEAN MACHINES

The Square Wave TIG 275 machines rated for 50/60Hz operation provides 2 amps of 220 volt AC power at a continental European (Schuko) type receptacle, locat- ed on the lower case back of the machine. This circuit is protected from shorts and overloading by a 2 amp circuit breaker, located above the receptacle. The aux- iliary circuit is intended for running water coolers whose current draw is within the 2 amp rating of the receptacle. Note that some types of equipment, espe- cially pumps and motors, have starting currents which are significantly higher than their running currents. These higher starting currents may cause the circuit breaker to open. If this situation occurs, the user should refrain from using the Square Wave TIG 275 auxiliary for that equipment.
