4.Hold the TIG adapter, with cables and hoses installed, firmly in place by securing it into the Twist- Mate receptacle on the power source or into a padded vise. Apply a thin film of lubricant to the boot’s lead in chamfer area. Also apply lubricant to the lead in chamfer and 2" diameter on the TIG adapter. Next align the strain relief boot keys with the TIG adapter slots. Now firmly push the boot onto the adapter, rocking the boot to assist installa- tion.

COMPLETED ASSEMBLY

5.Examine the strain relief boot and TIG adapter for correct assembly. The boot should nest into the Twist-Mate receptacle on the power source. The boot face will be 1/8 inch away from the machine front. All electrical surfaces should be completely covered when in the Twist-Mate receptacle on the power source. For more details see M19116PRINT included with the machine.

STICK ELECTRODE CABLE CONNECTION

The Twist-Mate connection allows fast and reliable stick electrode attachment to the electrode terminal of the Square Wave TIG 275 welding power supply.

Assemble the stick electrode cable by attaching the correct Twist-Mate adapter and electrode holder to an adequately-sized welding cable. The Twist-Mate cable plug is NOT provided with the machine for the stick electrode connection. See Table A.1 and A.2 for rec- ommended sizes and corresponding hardware.

Assemble the correct Twist-Mate adapter plug to the stick electrode cable as detailed in “Work Cable Connection”.

WARNING

DO NOT CONNECT A TIG TORCH AND STICK ELECTRODE CABLE AT THE SAME TIME. THEY WILL BOTH BE ELECTRICALLY HOT WHENEVER THE OUTPUT CONTACTOR IS ENERGIZED.
