Do not touch electrically hot parts.

Always connect the Square Wave TIG 275 grounding screw (located on the right rear corner of the base) to a good electrical earth ground.

Always connect the Square Wave TIG 275 to a power supply grounded per the National Electrical Code and any local codes.

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely cir- culate in through the rear louvers and out through the side louvers. Dirt, dust or any foreign material that can be drawn into the welder should be kept at a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance trips.

STACKING

Square Wave TIG 275’s cannot be stacked.

LIFTING AND MOVING

The Square Wave TIG 275 should be lifted with a hoist. (It weighs approximately 330 lbs./150 kg.) An optional undercarriage is available to easily move the unit. Refer to the Accessories section of this manual. The Square Wave TIG 275 is designed to be used with a K932-1 Undercarriage. Complete installation instruc- tions are included with the K932-1 Undercarriage. When the undercarriage is properly installed, the Square Wave TIG 275 lift bale is nonfunctional. Do not attempt to lift the power source with the undercar- riage attached. The undercarriage is designed for hand moving only; mechanized towing can lead to per- sonal injury and/or damage to the Square Wave TIG 275.

MACHINE GROUNDING AND HIGH FRE- QUENCY INTERFERENCE PROTECTION

The frame of the welder must be grounded. A

ground screw marked with the symbol is located at the right rear corner of the base for this purpose. See your local and national electrical codes for proper grounding methods.

The spark gap oscillator in the high frequency genera- tor, being similar to a radio transmitter, can be blamed for many radio, TV and electronic equipment interfer- ence problems. These problems may be the result of radiated interference. Proper grounding methods can reduce or eliminate radiated interference.

The Square Wave TIG 275 has been field tested under recommended installation conditions and has been found to comply with F.C.C. allowable radiation limits. A certificate (S14929) is being sent with each welder for customer convenience. If he desires or is required to obtain certification of compliance with F.C.C. RF Energy Radiation Limits, this certificate can be used. It is the customer's responsibility to obtain this certifica- tion. This welder has also been found to comply with NEMA standards for high frequency stabilized power sources.

Radiated interference can develop in the following four ways:

1.Direct interference radiated from the welder.

2.Direct interference radiated from the welding leads.

3.Direct interference radiated from feedback into the power lines.

4.Interference from re-radiation of “pickup” by ungrounded metallic objects.

Keeping these contributing factors in mind, installing equipment per the following instructions should mini- mize problems.
