When using the AL 1500 welding torch (TP 1500 TIG only):
for setting the shielding-gas flow rate:

Important! The test gas-flow lasts for a maximum of 15 seconds, unless it is interrup-
ted before this by pressing the process button (6).

Important! With AL 1500 torch (only with TP 1500 TIG): As long as the torch is touching
the workpiece, automatic gas pre-flow takes place.
If the torch is left in contact with the workpiece for more than 3 seconds, the welding
current is automatically switched off. If this happens, place the gas nozzle on the igniti-
on location again (as described above).

Caution! Risk of injury and damage from electrical shock. As soon as the
mains switch is in the „I" position, the tungsten electrode of the welding torch is
LIVE. Make sure that the tungsten electrode does not touch any persons or
electrically conducting or earthed parts (e.g. housing etc.)
Shift the mains switch (1) into the "I" position
Open the gas cut-off valve on the torch and/or press the torch trigger and set the
desired gas flow rate on the pressure regulator
Shift the mains switch (1) into the "O" position
Press the process button (6) and shift the mains switch into the "I" position at the
same time.
- All the indicators on the operating panel flash
- The fan starts
Set the desired shielding-gas flow rate on the pressure regulator
Press the process button (6)
- The indicators on the control panel stop flashing
- The fan cuts out (if the temperature permits)
Press the process button (6) to select one of the following processes:
- TIG welding process (8)
- The following indicator lights up:
- TIG pulsed-arc welding process (7)
- The following indicator lights up:
Select the amperage with the welding-current dial (11)
Place the gas nozzle on the ignition location so that there is a gap of 2 - 3 mm (.08
- .12 in.) between the tungsten tip and the workpiece (see Fig. 8a)
Gradually tilt up the welding torch until the tungsten tip touches the workpiece (see
Fig. 8b)
Raise the torch and pivot it into the normal position - the arc ignites (see Fig. 8c)
Start welding
