D Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,
or another electrode from a different machine.
D Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged
parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.
D Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
D Always verify the supply ground check and be sure that input
power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in
disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle outlet.
D When making input connections, attach proper grounding conductor first double-check connections.
D Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring
replace cord immediately if damaged bare wiring can kill.
D Turn off all equipment when not in use.
D Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
D 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.
D If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to remove
welding fumes and gases.
D If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
D Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the
manufacturers instructions for metals, consumables, coatings,
cleaners, and degreasers.
D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.

Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National
Research Council concluded that: The body of evidence, in the
committees judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to powerfrequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be
examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when
welding or cutting.

Application:
Final Slope Time should be used while GTAW
welding materials that are crack sensitive, and/
or the operator wants to eliminate the crater at
the end of the weld.
Note: This applies if the operator is using an
on/off only type control to start and stop the
welding process.
14 Final Amperage Control
Press switch pad and turn Encoder Control to
select 5300 amps of final amperage. Final
amperage is the amperage to which the weld
amperage has sloped up/down to.
15 Postflow Time Control
Press switch pad and turn Encoder Control to
set time, 050 seconds, gas flows after welding
stops.
Application:
Postflow is required to cool tungsten and weld,
and to prevent contamination of tungsten and
weld. Increase postflow time if tungsten or
welds are dark in appearance.
16 Pulser On/Off Control
Press switch pad to turn on light and enable
pulser function.
Application:
Pulsing refers to the alternating raising and
lowering of the weld output at a specific rate.
The raised portions of the weld output are controlled in width, height, and frequency, forming
pulses of weld output. These pulses and the
lower amperage level between them (called the
background amperage) alternately heat and
cool the molten weld puddle. The combined effect gives the operator better control of penetration, bead width, crowning, undercutting,
and heat input. Controls can be adjusted while
welding.
Pulsing can also be used for filler material addition technique training.
17 Pulse Frequency Control
Press switch pad and turn Encoder Control to
set pulse frequency, .1500 pps (pulses per
second).
18 Pulse Width Control
Press switch pad and turn Encoder Control to
set percentage of time, 595%, amperage is at
peak for each pulse.
19 Background Amperage Control
Press switch pad and turn Encoder Control to
set background amperage as a percentage,
595%, of peak amperage.
20 AC TIG Process Select Mode
Press switch pad to select AC TIG Process.
21 AC Frequency Control
Press switch pad and turn Encoder Control to
set AC frequency from 20250 Hz (cycles per
second). AC Frequency Control is enabled
only if AC TIG process is selected.
Application:
AC frequency controls bead width and directional control. As AC frequency decreases,
weld bead/puddle gets wider. As AC frequency
increases, weld bead/puddle becomes narrower and the arc becomes more focused.
Travel speed can increase as AC frequency increases.
22 AC Balance Control
Press switch pad and turn Encoder Control to
set percentage of time, 5090%, polarity is
electrode negative. AC Balance Control is enabled only if AC TIG process is selected.
Application:
When welding on oxide forming materials such
as aluminum or magnesium, excess cleaning
is not necessary. To produce a good weld, only
a minimal amount, approximately a 0.10 in
(2.5mm) of etched zone along the weld toes is
required.
Joint configuration, set-up, process variables,
and oxide thickness may affect setting.
Arc rectification can occur when welding above
200 amps and/or while welding with helium
gas. If this condition occurs, increasing the Balance control towards maximum penetration,
may help to restabilize the arc.
23 DC TIG Process Select Mode
Press switch pad to select DCEN (direct current electrode negative) TIG process.
24 14 Program Storage
Each program switch pad, 14, is capable of
storing four welding parameter programs. Four
for AC TIG, four for DCEN TIG, four for AC
Sick, and four for DCEP (direct current electrode positive) Stick. Depending on which process is selected, a total of 16 welding parameter programs can be recalled. The welding parameters are updated to the selected memory
position any time a parameter is changed. To
recall a program, press the desired process select switch pad, and program pad 14.
25 AC Stick Process Select Mode
Press switch pad to select AC Stick process.
AC frequency is fixed at 60 Hz, and AC balance
is fixed at 50% EN (electrode negative). When
the AC Stick Process is select, the DIG function is disabled.
26 DC Stick Process Select Mode
Press switch pad to select DCEP Stick process.
27 Output Contactor Control (Stick)
Press switch pad to enable/disable output.
28 Stick Amperage Control
Press switch pad and turn Encoder Control to
select 5300 amps for Stick welding.
29 DIG Control
Press switch pad and adjust Encoder Control
to set DIG (0100%).
When set lower, short-circuit amperage at low
arc voltage is the same as normal welding amperage.
When set higher, short-circuit amperage is increased at low arc voltage to help with arc starting and making overhead or vertical welds, as
well as to reduce sticking while welding.

Mini Logic
During Mini Logic welding operation, the weld current can be manually changed from the initial amps
level to the main weld amps level by
pressing and releasing the torch
trigger in less than 3/4 seconds.
Application: This ability to change
current levels without either initial
slope or final slope, gives the operator the opportunity to adjust filler
metal without breaking the arc.
NOTE: When a remote switch is
connected to the welding power
source, only trigger input is functional. Amperage is controlled by
the welding power source.

TIG Electrode
Workpiece
Touch tungsten electrode to workpiece at weld start point, enable output with torch trigger, foot control, or
hand control. Hold electrode to
workpiece for 1-2 seconds, and
slowly lift electrode. An arc will form
when electrode is lifted.
Normal open-circuit voltage is not
present before tungsten electrode
touches workpiece; only a low
sensing voltage is present between
electrode and workpiece. The
solid-state output contactor does
not energize until after electrode is
touching workpiece. This allows
electrode to touch workpiece without overheating, sticking, or getting
contaminated.

Y Grinding the tungsten electrode produces dust and flying sparks which can cause
injury and start fires. Use local exhaust (forced ventilation) at the grinder or wear an
approved respirator. Read
MSDS for safety information.
Consider using tungsten
containing ceria, lanthana,
or yttria instead of thoria.
Grinding dust from thoriated
electrodes contains low-level radioactive material.
Properly dispose of grinder
dust in an environmentally
safe way. Wear proper face,
hand, and body protection.
Keep flammables away.
