SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read and understand this entire section before operat- ing the machine.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet cloth- ing.

Insulate yourself from work and ground.

Always wear dry insulating gloves.

Read and follow “Electric Shock Warnings” in the Safety section if weld- ing must be performed under electrical- ly hazardous conditions such as weld- ing in wet areas or on or in the work- piece.

FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.

• Keep your head out of fumes.

• Use ventilation or exhaust to remove fumes from breathing zone.

WELDING SPARKS

can cause fire or explosion

Keep flammable material away.

Do not weld on containers that have held combustibles.

ARC RAYS can burn.

• Wear eye, ear and body protection.

Observe additional Safety Guidelines detailed in the beginning of this manual.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The SQUARE WAVE™ TIG 175 is a constant current, single range AC/DC TIG (GTAW) arc welding power source with built-in arc starter / stabilizer. It also has stick welding (SMAW) capability.

The SQUARE WAVE™ TIG 175 is recommended for the TIG (GTAW) and stick (SMAW) welding processes within its output capacity of 10 to 175 amps, on both AC and DC polarity.
