NOTE
• It is also possible to use a gas diffuser instead of the electrode collet.
Owing to its design, it will produce a laminar gas flow.
The electrode type is set by EN ISO 6848. The max. length of electrode
depends on the type of torch.
NOTE
• The welding performance is affected by the selection of the tungsten
electrode and by wear. A smooth, groove-free sharpened end of the
tungsten electrode has a positive effect on the welding result.

1 Plug the cable assembly connection into the power source and lock it.
2 Properly mount the connection for shielding gas.
NOTE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas depends on the welding task
and the gas nozzle geometry.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by
impurities, the cylinder valve must be opened briefly, before connecting
the cylinder. This will blow out any impurities that may be present.
1 Open the shielding gas cylinder.
2 Set the gas quantity on the pressure reducer of the shielding gas cylinder.
NOTE
• As the TIG welding torches are integrated into a welding system, the
operating instructions of the welding components, such as the welding
power source, must be observed during operation.
