Operating Instructions Model WT6100
TIG Torch
BUILT TO LAST
Description
The WT6100 TIG torch allows you to
convert your Arcitech 110 inverter
technology welder to a TIG (GTAW)
welder. TIG stands for Tungsten Inert
Gas. GTAW is Gas Tungsten Arc
Welding. TIG is also commonly call
Heliarc
®
welding, but Heliarc
®
is a brand
name of the Linde Company, not a
process. Heliarc
®
comes from Helium
Arc Welding, as helium is an inert gas
used to keep impurities from the weld.
Today most TIG welding is done with
100% Argon shielding gas.
TIG welding gives the most beautiful
and clean welds with the most
precision and control. It is the best
process for welding dissimilar size items
together. The drawback to TIG welding
is that it takes a high skill level, and it is
slow.
TIG welding is often used in welding
Aluminum, however welding
Aluminum with TIG requires an AC
high frequency power source. The
Campbell Hausfeld Arcitech 110 has DC
only output, so it can not weld
Aluminum with the TIG process.
Unpacking
When unpacking, inspect carefully for
any damage that may have occurred
during transit. Make sure any loose
fittings and screws, etc. are tightened
before putting unit into service.
The electrode
holder is "live"
(has current potential) when machine is
turned on.
