6. Operating Instructions
This section outlines the general operation of the VEVOR ACDC TIG-200 welder. Refer to the detailed manual for specific parameter settings for each welding mode.
- Power On: Turn on the main power switch located on the rear or front panel of the welder. The LED display will illuminate.
- Mode Selection: Use the control knob or buttons on the front panel to select the desired welding mode (AC TIG, DC TIG, AC Pulse TIG, DC Pulse TIG, Spot TIG, or MMA/Stick). The selected mode will be displayed on the LED screen.
- Parameter Adjustment: Adjust welding parameters such as welding current, pulse frequency, balance, pre-flow, and post-flow according to the material type and thickness. The smart LED display provides real-time feedback on settings.
- TIG Welding (AC/DC/Pulse/Spot):
- Ensure gas flow is established.
- Position the TIG torch over the workpiece.
- Initiate the arc using the torch switch or foot pedal.
- Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
- Feed filler rod into the weld puddle as needed.
