TIG TORCH CONNECTION
TIG welding torches come with 15 ft (4.6m) and 25 ft (7.6m) cables. Use the shorter length whenever pos- sible to minimize possible radio interference problems. With power source off, connect the torch cable to the “Electrode” terminal on the welder. Connect a sepa- rate work cable to the “Work” terminal of the welder. See Table A.3 for recommended work cable sizes. Both work and electrode cables should be routed through the cable strain relief holes provided in the base directly below the welding ouput terminals.
Connect the TIG torch gas and water fittings to the welder fittings. any torch with fittings that conform to Compressed Gas Association (CGA) standards can be used.
The welder fittings have the following threads: Gas
