Instruction Manual
USER MANUAL * TIG 160P 3
Please read this instruction manual carefully before commencing operation.
INTRODUCTION
When working as TIG, the outer characteristic is constant current and the welding
current doesn’t change with the length of the arc, the current is very stable.
The TlG160P can be widely used in welding carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy
steel, copper and other non-ferrous metals. This machine is portable, highly
efficient, energy - saving and stable. The exchange cycle of the assembled
machinery can be as high as 85%.
SAFETY
Caution
•Operators should be qualified for welding.
•During welding, do not change the switch for function exchange.
•Turn off the air plug connected to the electrode holder to make sure that the
holder is separated from the main machine to avoid an electric shock.
•A certain switch is needed to protect the machine from electricity leaking.
•Please use welding tools of high quality.
Electric shock
•Do not touch live electrical parts
•Check and be sure that the input power cable earth wire is properly
connected to the earth in the mains input plug.
•Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers
big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work or ground.
Fumes
•Avoid a prolonged period in the fumes.
•When welding, make sure you are in a well-ventilated area to avoid
breathing in the fumes.
GUARANTEE
We give our unreserved guarantee that the Inverter Welding and Cutting Power
Source series comply with IEC60974 international safety standard.
Maintenance for one year since the date of purchase.

Arc-emission
•Wear suitable welding mask and clothing to protect your eyes and skin.
•Use a suitable screen or curtain to shield the arc.
•The welding splash may cause fire, so ensure that there are no flammable
things near to the work place.
Noise
•Use approved earplugs or earmuffs if noise level is high.
•Warn others nearby about noise hazard.

INSTALLATION
Connection of the input wire
1. The power wire at the back of the
welder is connected to the 220V AC
power supply.
2. Connect the case to earth, with cable
whose section is no less than 2.5mm
from the earth screw at the back of the
machine to earth from a cable.
Connection
Connect the gas hose to the back of the
machine.
Install the argon torch in compliance with the
sketch.
Connect the earth clamp to the ‘+’ terminal.
Operation
TIG FUNCTION
1. Turn the power switch on the panel boards to “ON ", and then the pilot light
is on, and the fan begins to work.
2. Turn on the argon gas switch, and set the flow volume to the rated value.
3. The electromagnetic valve works after you push down the button on the
torch, and then you can hear the sound of HF releasing, and meanwhile
there is gas flowing out of the torch mouth. Re: for the first welding, please
press the button on the torch for seconds, waiting for all the air to empty,
and then you can begin the welding; after you stop welding, there will still be
argon gas coming out, and this is specially designed for protecting the
welding point before cooling .So please keep the torch at the welding place
for a while even alter the work is finished.
4. Set the suitable welding current according to the thickness of the work piece
and the technology requirements.
5. Keep the tungsten and the work piece 1-4mm away from each other, push
the control button of the torch, there will be HF electricity-releasing between
the electrode and the work piece; and it will disappear soon after the arc
starts, then you can commence welding.

USER MANUAL * TIG 160P 7
CAUTION
Working environment
1. The machine should be used in a dust-free area.
2. The moisture level should be < 80%
3. Avoid using the welder in the sun and rain; room temperature under -10°C
to +40°C
4. Use welder 30cm away from the wall; There should be 30cm between each
machine if many machines are put together;
5. Work in a ventilated room to ensure constant air flow
SAFETY TIPS
1. Make sure the air is flowing.
This welder cannot run sufficiently on the natural air circulation alone,
therefore this machine is equipped with fans to achieve suitable cooling.
2. No over-loading
Over-loading is prohibited; otherwise the machine may stop suddenly during
the working course. In this circumstance, there is no need to cut off the
power switch, leave the fan to speed up cooling. Until the temperature drops
to the given range, work can recommence.
3. No over-voltage
For the power voltage range of the machine see the technical data table on
page 5.
4. Earth
Each machine has a screw for earth connecting, please choose a 10mm
cable to connect the case of the machine to the earth to avoid breakdown
caused by static electricity or electricity-leaking.
5. Electric Shock
Do not touch the output terminal when working or it may cause electric
shock.

USER MANUAL * TIG 160P 8
MAINTENANCE
1. Clear the dust at regular intervals with clean and dry compressed air; if the
working area has heavy smoke and pollution, the welding machine should
be cleaned once a month.
2. The compressed air should be reduced to the required pressure lest the
small parts in the welding machine be damaged.
3. Check whether the inner gas electricity connection is well (esp. the plugs)
and tighten the loose connection; if there is oxidization, remove it with sand
paper and then re-connect.
4. Avoid using this machine in rain or sun
5. If the machine is not going to be used for a long time, store in the original
packing in dry conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
