MADE IN FRANCE
its protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current required by the machine. The user has to make
sure that the plug can be reached.
The device switches to protection mode if the power supply voltage is below or above the required voltage by 15% (the
screen displays an error code).
USE ON EXTENSION LEADS
All extension leads must have appropriate size and thickness for the machine voltage.
Use an extension that complies with national safety regulations.

TUNGSTEN ELECTRODE WELDING WITH INERT GAS (TIG MODE)
CONNECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Connect the earth clamp to the positive connector (+).
Connect the torch earth cable to the negative plug (–).
Ensure that the torch is equipped and ready to weld, and that the consumables (Vise grip, ceramic gas nozzle, collet and
collet body) are not damaged.
TIG WELDING PROCESSES
• TIG DC
This welding mode in direct current (DC) is designed for ferrous metal such as steel, stainless steel or even copper and its
alloys.
• TIG DC Pulsed
This pulse welding mode chains high current pulses (I, welding pulse) then low current pulses (I_cold, pulses to cool the
piece). This pulse mode allows to assemble pieces while while keeping the machine cooler.
SELECT IGNITION MODE
The arc initiating and stabilizing device is designed for manual and mechanically guided operation.
HF TIG: High Frequency start without contact.
Warning: Increasing the length of the torch or earth return cables beyond the maximum length specified by the manu-
facturer will increase the risk of electric shock.
TIG LIFT : Contact start (for environments sensitive to HF disturbances).
