TIG WELDING MODE (GTAW)
CONNECTIONS AND ADVICE
• DC TIG welding requires gas shielding (argon).
• Connect the earth clamp to the positive (+) connector. Connect the torch's power cable to the
negative (–) connection as well as to the torch and gas button(s) connections.
• Make sure that the torch is well fitted and that the consumables (vice grip, collar support, diffuser and nozzle) are not worn out.
• The choice of electrode depends on the TIG welding current.
SHARPENING THE ELECTRODE
For optimum performance, it is recommended to use an electrode sharpened in the following way:

HMI manual.
WELDING PROCESSES
• Synergy TIG
No longer based on the chosen DC current or the welding cycle's parameter settings but, instead, incorporates welding rules/synergies based on
experience. As a result, this mode restricts the number of settings to three basic ones: Material type, welding thickness and welding position.
• TIG DC
Suitable for welding ferrous metals such as steel and stainless steel as well as copper, its alloys and titanium.
