2.2 Installation and Operation Recommendations
· For a better performance, place the machine at least 30 cm away from the surrounding objects. Pay attention to overheating, dust and moisture near the machine.
· Do not operate the machine under direct sunlight. If the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C, operate the machine at a lower current or a lower duty cycle.
· Avoid welding outdoors in windy and rainy weather circumstances. If welding is necessary in such cases, protect the welding area and the welding machine with a curtain and canopy. If you weld indoors, use a suitable fume extraction system. Use breathing apparatus if there is a risk of inhaling welding fumes and gas in confined spaces.
· When positioning the machine, make sure that materials such as walls, curtains, panels, etc. do not impede easy access to the controls and connections of the machine.
· Observe the duty cycle rates specified on the product label. Exceeding duty cycle rates can damage the machine and this may invalidate the warranty.
· Use the fuse that is compliant with your system. · Secure the ground cable as close as possible to the welding area. · Do not allow the welding current to pass through equipment other than the welding cables. · The welding cables and the mains cable must not be wrapped in the machine housing during operation. · When the gas cylinder is placed on the machine, immediately fasten the chain to secure the gas cylinder.

Release Trigger

2 Stroke TIG Trigger

· Push the torch trigger and do not release your finger. Current starts with start current after pre gas-flow period and increases according to the up- slope time adjustment and reaches to value of the main current.
· Welding goes on with the main current as long as the torch trigger is kept pushed. After releasing the trigger, current decreases according to down-slope time adjustment and reaches to final current, after post gas-flow period the operation ends.

PrG : Initial Gas Time I : Welding Current PoG : Final Gas Time

4 Stroke TIG Trigger
· When torch trigger is pushed, following the pre-gas flow, initial current starts and when the trigger is released the currrent ramp leads to the welding current. If DC PULSE mode is selected, according to the adjusted frequency, welding current oscillates between this reached welding current and the base current. If the trigger will be pushed and released more than 1 second, current decreases according to down-ramp adjustment, reaches to the final current, after post gas, welding ends.
· Base current is generally used for repairing and cooling during welding and crater filling at the finishing of the welding beads. Either during DC or during Pulsed DC welding if the trigger is pushed and released less than 1 second, DC base current will be on. If the trigger will be pushed less than 1 second, welder will go back to the existing welding mode and parameters, but if the trigger will be pushed and released more than 1 second, welding will be finished by following the down-ramp, final current and post-gas.
