SAFETY INFORMATION
Welding and cutting equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and people
in or near the surrounding working area, if the equipment is not correctly
operated. Equipment must only be used under the strict and comprehensive
observance of all relevant safety regulations. Read and understand this
instruction manual carefully before the installation and operation of this
equipment.
ELECTRIC SHOCK: It can kill
FUMES AND GASES ARE DANGEROUS
ARC RAYS: Harmful to people’s eyes and skin
ELECTRIC SHOCK: It can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal
shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically live
whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and internal machine
circuits are also live when power is on. Incorrectly installed or improperly
grounded equipment is dangerous.
· Connect the primary input cable according to American standards and
regulations. ANSI Z49.1.
· Avoid all contact with live electrical parts of the welding circuit,
electrodes and wires with bare hands. The operator must wear dry welding
gloves while he/she performs the welding task.
· The operator should keep the work piece insulated from himself/herself.
· Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and
sparks.
· Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear, replace the cable
immediately if damaged, bare wiring is dangerous and can kill.
· Do not use damaged, under-sized, or badly joined cables.
· Do not drape cables over your body.
FUMES AND GASES ARE DANGEROUS: Smoke and gas generated while welding or
cutting can be harmful to people’s health. Welding produces fumes and gases.
Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
· Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated while welding or cutting, keep
your head out of the fumes.
· Keep the working area well ventilated, use fume extraction or ventilation to
remove welding fumes and gases.
· In confined or heavy fume environments always wear an approved air-supplied
respirator. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen
level causing injury or death. Be certain the air in your work environment is
safe to breathe.
· Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and
irritating gases.
· Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, contain
elements that can give off toxic fumes when welded. Do not weld these
materials unless the area is very well ventilated, and or wearing an air
supplied respirator.
ARC RAYS: Harmful to people’s eyes and skin. Arc rays from the welding process
produce intense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can
burn eyes and skin.
· Always wear a welding helmet with correct shade of filter lens and suitable
protective clothing including welding gloves while the welding operation is
performed.
· Measures should be taken to protect people in or near the surrounding
working area. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
HOT PARTS: Items being welded generate and hold high heat and can cause severe burns. Do not touch hot parts with bare hands. Allow a cooling period before working on the welding gun. Use insulated welding gloves and clothing to handle hot parts and prevent burns.

FIRE HAZARD: Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can
cause them to explode. Flying sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and
hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to
metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be
sure the area is safe before doing any welding. · Welding sparks may cause
fire, therefore remove any flammable materials away from the working
area, at least 40 feet (12m) from the welding arc. Cover flammable materials
and containers with approved covers if unable to be moved from the welding
area. · Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes,
unless they are properly prepared according to the required Safety Standards
to insure that flammable or toxic vapors and substances are totally removed,
these can cause an explosion even though the vessel has been “cleaned”. Vent
hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may
explode. · Do not weld where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas,
or liquid vapors such as gasoline. · Have a fire extinguisher nearby and know
how to use it. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Be aware that
welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on the
hidden side.
GAS CYLINDERS: Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If
damaged, a cylinder can explode. Because gas cylinders are normally part of
the welding process, be sure to treat them carefully. CYLINDERS can explode if
damaged. · Protect gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks,
physical damage, slag,
open flames, sparks, and arcs. · Insure cylinders are held secure and upright
to prevent tipping or falling over. · Never allow the welding electrode or
earth clamp to touch the gas cylinder, do not drape welding
cables over the cylinder. · Never weld on a pressurized gas cylinder, it will
explode and kill you. · Open the cylinder valve slowly and turn your face away
from the cylinder outlet valve
and gas regulator.
GAS BUILD UP: The build up of gas can cause a toxic environment by depleting
the air’s oxygen content and potentially resulting in injury or death. · Shut
off shielding gas supply when not in use. · Always ventilate confined spaces
or use approved air-supplied respirator.
ELECTRONIC MAGNETIC FIELDS: MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect implanted medical
devices. · Wearers of pacemakers and other implanted medical devices should
keep away. · Implanted medical device wearers should consult their doctor and
the device manufacturer before
going near any electric welding, cutting or heating operation.
NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEARING: Noise from some processes or equipment can damage
hearing. Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
Excessive Electrode Consumption
Erratic Arc
Inclusion of Tungsten
or Oxides in Weld
Porosity in Weld Deposit
Cracking in Welds
Inadequate Shielding Arc Blow
Short Parts Life
CAUSE
Inadequate gas flow Improper size electrode for current required Operating of
reverse polarity Electrode contamination Excessive heating inside torch
Electrode oxidizing during cooling Shield gas incorrect Incorrect voltage (arc
too long) Current too low for electrode size Electrode contaminated Joint too
narrow Contaminated shield gas, dark stains on the electrode or weld bead
indicate contamination Base metal is oxidized, dirty or oily Poor scratch
starting technique Excessive current for tungsten size used Accidental contact
of electrode with puddle Accidental contact of electrode to filler rod Using
excessive electrode extension Inadequate shielding or excessive drafts Wrong
gas
Heavy surface oxides not being removed
Entrapped impurities, hydrogen, air, nitrogen, water vapor Defective gas hose
or loose connection Filler material is damp (particularly aluminum) Filler
material is oily or dusty Alloy impurities in the base metal such as sulphur,
phosphorus, lead and zinc Excessive travel speed with rapid freezing of weld
trapping gases before they escape Contaminated gas shield Hot cracking in
heavy section or with metals which are hot shorts Crater cracks due to
improperly breaking the arc or terminating the weld at the joint edge Post
weld cold cracking, due to excessive joint restraint, rapid cooling, or
hydrogen embrittlement Centerline cracks in single pass welds Underbead
cracking from brittle microstructure Gas flow blockage or leak in hoses or
torch Excessive travel speed exposes molten weld to atmospheric contamination
Wind or drafts Excessive electrode stickout Excessive turbulence in gas stream
Induced magnetic field from DC weld current Arc is unstable due to magnetic
influences Short water cooled leads life
Cup shattering or breaking in use
Short collet life Short torch head life
Gas hoses ballooning, bursting or blowing off while hot
SOLUTION
Increase gas flow Use larger electrode Use larger electrode or change polarity
Remove contaminated portion, then prepare again Replace collect, try wedge
collet or reverse collet Increase gas post flow time to 1 sec. per 10 amps
Change to proper gas (no oxygen or Co2) Maintain short arc length Use smaller
electrode or increase current Remove contaminated portion, then prepare again
Open joint groove Most common cause is moisture or aspirated air in gas
stream. Use welding grade gas only. Find the source of the contamination and
eliminate it promptly. Use appropriate chemical cleaners, wire brush or
abrasives prior to welding. Many codes do not allow scratch starts. Use copper
strike plate. Use high-frequency arc starter. Reduce current or use larger
electrode Maintain proper arc length Maintain a distance between electrode and
filler metal Reduce electrode extension to recommended limits Increase gas
flow, shield arc from wind, or use gas lens Do not use Ar-02 or Ar-Co2 GMA
(MIG) gases for TIG welding Use ACHF, adjust balance control for maximum
cleaning, or wire brush and clean the weld joint prior to welding. Do not weld
on wet material. Remove condensation from line Check hoses and connections for
leaks Dry filler metal in oven prior to welding Replace filler metal Change to
a different alloy composition which is weldable. These impurities can cause a
tendency to crack when hot.
Lower the travel speed
Replace the shielding gas Preheat, increase weld bead cross-section size,
change weld bead contour. Reverse direction and weld back into previous weld
at edge. Use remote or foot control to manually down slope current. Preheat
prior to welding, use pure to non-contaminated gas. Increase the bead size.
Prevent craters or notches. Change the weld joint design. Increase bead size.
Decrease root opening, use preheat, prevent craters. Eliminate sources of
hydrogen, joint restraint, and use preheat. Locate and eliminate blockage or
leak. Use slower travel speed or carefully increase the flow rate to a safe
level below creating excessive turbulence. Use trailing shield cup. Set up
screens around the weld area Reduce electrode stickout. Use a larger size cup.
Change to gas saver parts or gas lens parts. Change to ACHF current. Rearrange
the split ground connection. Reduce weld current and use arc length as short
as possible. Verify coolant flow direction, return flow must be on the power
cable lead. Change cup size or type, change tungsten position, refer to CK
Worldwide technical specifications available at www.CKWorldwide.com Ordinary
style is split and twists or jams, change to wedge style. Do not operate
beyond rated capacity, use water cooled model, do not bend rigid torches.
Incorrect flowmeter, TIG flowmeters operate at 35 psi with low flows. MIG
flowmeters operate with high flows at 65 psi or more.
