Using the Lincoln Precision TIG 225 is quite straightforward. First, make sure to connect it to the right power source according to the model's voltage requirements. The 208/230 volt models have a standard NEMA 6 - 50 plug on the 9 ft. input power cord. Once connected, you can start setting up your welding parameters.
For aluminum welding, use the AC Auto - Balance feature. It will automatically set the best levels for cleaning and penetration, so you get nice - looking welds. If you need to control the heat input, turn on the built - in TIG pulser.
When welding, remember that this machine has a wide operating range from 5 to 230 amps. Choose the appropriate amperage based on your project. And with the patented Micro - Start II Technology, starting the weld, especially at low amperages, is very stable.
The 115V receptacles can be used to power a water cooler or other tools. Just check the amp service of your model (20 amp for 208/230 volt models and 6 amp for other models).
Now, for the maintenance part. Thanks to the Fan - As - Needed (F.A.N.) system, the machine is less likely to overheat. But still, keep it in a clean and dry place. Check the cables and connections regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Also, don't forget to store your torch parts in the storage compartment and hang the cable on the hanger to keep things organized.
Finally, note that this machine is CSA C/US certified and comes with a three - year Lincoln warranty on parts and labor. If you have any problems during use, you can refer to the TIG Procedure Guide and GTAW (TIG) Handbook that come with the product.
