TIG200 TIG/STICK WELDER Save This Manual You will need the manual for safety warnings and precautions, assembly instructions, operating and maintenance procedures, parts list and diagram. Keep your invoice with this manual. Write invoice number and date of purchase on the inside of the manual.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING SAFETY HIGHLIGHTS. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS. ARC AND TIG WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handl;es must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grase at all times. Disconnect power. Unplug tool when not in use. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjustment wrenches are removed from the welder and work area before plugging in. Avoid starting unintentionally.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous The EMF field that is generated during arc welding may interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers. Anyone using such devices should consult with their physician prior to performing any electric welding operations. Exposure to EMF fields while welding may have other health effects, which are not known.
ARC RAYS can be dangerous Use a shield with the proper filter (a minimum of #11) to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
CYLINDER may explode if damaged Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION This compact, dual-voltage, versatile TIG200 offers user a simple array of controls to accurately set the welder to perform under a wide variety of situations. Its square-wave inverter enables accurate welding of fine aluminum. It allows user to easily switch from 220v to 110v with the included plug adapter, and produces AC/DC 200 amps for TIG and STICK welding.

TROUBLESHOOTING PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE SECTION. SERVICE AND REPAIR SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED PERSONNEL FOR YOUR SAFE, PLEASE OBSERVE ALL SAFETY INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THIS MANUAL. ELECTRIC SHOCK can be fatal Service and Repair should only be performed by a Trained Personnel. Have a qualified electrician install and service this equipment. HOW TO USE THE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE This Troubleshooting Guide is provided to help you locate and repair possible machine malfunctions.
OUTPUT CURRENT CANNOT REACH RATED VALUE Deviation of power voltage from the rated value will lead to unconformity of output current value with the set value. When power voltage is lower than the rated value, maximum output current of the welder may also be lower than the rated value. TUNGSTEN TIP GETS BURNT TOO FAST Reduce the heat of the tungsten tip by twisting knob 6 towards “-“.
Arc Cannot Start Arc Runs Around and Heat Cannot be Concentrated in a Specific Area Make sure the machine is securely grounded. Use the right type of Tungsten. Make sure there is enough gas flow. Make sure the settings is on “DC” for non-aluminum and “AC” for aluminum. Make sure the setting for the foot pedal switch is correct. Check Tungsten type and tip size. Adjust the rate of gas flow. Make sure the Tungsten is not contaminated.
