Tig Process:

In TIG welding process, gas usage depends on cross-sectional area of the nozzle. For commonly used torches:

Helium: 14-24 l/min

Argon: 7-16 l/min

Notice: Excessive flow rates causes turbulence in the gas stream which may aspirate atmospheric contamination into the
welding pool.

Notice: A cross wind or draft moving can disrupt the shielding gas coverage, in the interest of saving of protective gas use
screen to block air flow.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
11/04
This machine has been designed in accordance with all relevant directives and standards. However, it may still generate
electromagnetic disturbances that can affect other systems like telecommunications (telephone, radio, and television) or
other safety systems. These disturbances can cause safety problems in the affected systems. Read and understand this
section to eliminate or reduce the amount of electromagnetic disturbance generated by this machine.

This machine has been designed to operate in an industrial area. To operate in a domestic area it is necessary
to observe particular precautions to eliminate possible electromagnetic disturbances. The operator must install
and operate this equipment as described in this manual. If any electromagnetic disturbances are detected the
operator must put in place corrective actions to eliminate these disturbances with, if necessary, assistance from
Lincoln Electric.

Before installing the machine, the operator must check the work area for any devices that may malfunction because of
electromagnetic disturbances. Consider the following.
 Input and output cables, control cables, and telephone cables that are in or adjacent to the work area and the machine.
 Radio and/or television transmitters and receivers. Computers or computer controlled equipment.
 Safety and control equipment for industrial processes. Equipment for calibration and measurement.
 Personal medical devices like pacemakers and hearing aids.
 Check the electromagnetic immunity for equipment operating in or near the work area. The operator must be sure that
all equipment in the area is compatible. This may require additional protection measures.
 The dimensions of the work area to consider will depend on the construction of the area and other activities that are
taking place.

Consider the following guidelines to reduce electromagnetic emissions from the machine.
 Connect the machine to the input supply according to this manual. If disturbances occur if may be necessary to take
additional precautions such as filtering the input supply.
 The output cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned together. If possible connect the work
piece to ground in order to reduce the electromagnetic emissions. The operator must check that connecting the work
piece to ground does not cause problems or unsafe operating conditions for personnel and equipment.
 Shielding of cables in the work area can reduce electromagnetic emissions. This may be necessary for special
applications.

WARNING
The Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public
low-voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those locations,
due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.

WARNING
This equipment does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12. If it is connected to a public low-voltage system, it is responsibility of
the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if necessary, that the
equipment may be connected.

Safety
11/04

WARNING
This equipment must be used by qualified personnel. Be sure that all installation, operation, maintenance and repair
procedures are performed only by qualified person. Read and understand this manual before operating this equipment.
Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could cause serious personal injury, loss of life, or damage to this equipment.
Read and understand the following explanations of the warning symbols. Lincoln Electric is not responsible for damages
caused by improper installation, improper care or abnormal operation.

WARNING: This symbol indicates that instructions must be followed to avoid serious personal injury, loss of
life, or damage to this equipment. Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or death.

READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand this manual before operating this
equipment. Arc welding can be hazardous. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could cause
serious personal injury, loss of life, or damage to this equipment.

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL: Welding equipment generates high voltages. Do not touch the electrode,
work clamp, or connected work pieces when this equipment is on. Insulate yourself from the electrode, work
clamp and connected work pieces.

ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse
box before working on this equipment. Ground this equipment in accordance with local electrical
regulations.

ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Regularly inspect the input, electrode, and work clamp cables.
If any insulation damage exists replace the cable immediately. Do not place the electrode holder directly on
the welding table or any other surface in contact with the work clamp to avoid the risk of accidental arc
ignition.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS: Electric current flowing through any
conductor creates electric and magnetic fields (EMF). EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers and
welders having a pacemaker shall consult their physician before operating this equipment.

CE COMPLIANCE: This equipment complies with the European Community Directives.

ARTIFICIAL OPTICAL RADIATION: According with the requirements in 2006/25/EC Directive and EN
12198 Standard, the equipment is a category 2. It makes mandatory the adoption of Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) having filter with a protection degree up to a maximum of 15, as required by EN169
Standard.

FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS: Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to
health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. To avoid these dangers the operator must use enough
ventilation or exhaust to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.

ARC RAYS CAN BURN: Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from
sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-
resistant material to protect you skin and that of your helpers. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable,
non-flammable screening and warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc.

English 5 English
 WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding area and
have a fire extinguisher readily available. Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding process can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any tanks, drums,
containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to insure that no flammable or toxic vapors
will be present. Never operate this equipment when flammable gases, vapors or liquid combustibles are
present.

WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and materials
in work area can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving materials in the work
area.

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. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do not move or
transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not allow the electrode, electrode holder, work
clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders must be located away from
areas where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding process including sparks and heat
sources.

MOVING PARTS ARE DANGEROUS: There are moving mechanical parts in this machine, which can
cause serious injury. Keep your hands, body and clothing away from those parts during machine starting,
operating and servicing.

SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in an
environment with increased hazard of electric shock.

The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements in design without upgrade at the same time the
