Environmental Rating
The Precision TIG 225 power source carries an IP21S
environmental rating. It may be used in normal indus-
trial and commercial environments. Avoid using it in
environments which have falling water such as rain.
Read and follow "Electric Shock Warnings" in the
Safety section if welding must be performed under
electrically hazardous conditions such as welding in
wet areas or on or in the workpiece.
• The Precision TIG 225 must be located where there
is free circulation of clean air such that air move-
ment in and out the back air vents will not be
restricted.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the Precision
TIG 225 should be kept to a minimum. Failure to
observe these precautions can result in excessive
operating temperatures and nuisance shutdown.
GRINDING
Do not direct grinding particles towards the welder. An
abundance of conductive material can cause mainte-
nance problems.
STACKING
Precision TIG 225 cannot
be stacked.
