to prevent damage such as fire and electric shock from occurring.
Please keep this manual for your future reference!
INTRO
TIG Welding is the most controllable, efficient and most versatile method of welding many metals
including steel, stainless steel, aluminum and more. Your Eastwood Model 12746 TIG Welding System
with High-Frequency Inverter Technology is capable of welding heavy-gauge steel and aluminum with
precision and ease. The voltage self-sensing circuitry automatically detects a power source range of
110 to 240 volts and delivers from 10 up to 200 Amps of AC or DC current at super-high frequency with the
added advantage of a light weight unit. The included foot pedal provides the operator with the precise
amperage control required when welding. A built-in piloting arc system guarantees an instant arc strike
and voltage sensing circuitry allows 110 or 240 volt operation with no adjustments required.

SAFETY INFORMATION
FLAMMABILITY HAZARD
Before beginning, make sure the work surface is cleaned of any oils, coatings or other materials which
can ignite and or emit dangerous fumes or vapors.
Molten metal can be ejected away from the welding area with significant force and speed. Make sure
the entire work area is clear from flammable or easily damaged materials or objects.
REQUIRED ITEMS
Before you begin using the Eastwood TIG Welding System, make sure you have the following:
A properly grounded 110-120 VAC 50/60 hz. 15 amp Circuit or a 220-240 VAC 50/60 hz. 30 amp Circuit.
NOTE: Unit must be grounded to work properly and safely!
A clean, safe, well-lit, dry and well-ventilated work area.
A non-flammable, long sleeve shirt or jacket (Eastwood #12762L, XL, XXL).
Heavy Duty Welding Gloves (#12590)
An Auto Darkening Welding Mask (Eastwood #12099 or equivalent) to provide eye protection during
welding operations. Note: MUST be a #11 lens or darker.
A compressed gas cylinder containing 100% Argon (must be used when TIG welding and is available
at any welding supply facility).
Dedicated stainless steel wire welding brushes for each material to be welded.
A dedicated fine grit synthetic stone grinding wheel or a Tungsten Sharpener.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Eastwood Model 12746 TIG Welding System is voltage sensing; it will automatically operate on
110-120 VAC, 60/50 hz., 15 Amps or 220-240 VAC, 50/60 hz., 30 Amps.
SET-UP
Power Cord Rear Panel The attached 6 power cord
has a NEMA 50P 220 volt plug attached for 220 volt use.
For 110 volt use, attach the included 220 volt to 110 volt
1 adapter cord. The unit is automatically voltage sensing,
no settings are necessary.
Shielding Gas Regulator to Tank Attach the large fitting
of the Regulator Assembly to the female fitting of the tank
valve (Fig A). Thread the brass hose connection onto the
Regulator fitting and tighten snugly with a wrench. (do not
over tighten). Also, ensure that the tank is securely retained
by a chain or other means to a welding cart, bench or wall
to avoid injury from a falling tank.
Shielding Gas Regulator - The Shielding Gas hose
connection is located on the Regulator Assembly (Fig A).
Thread the brass hose connection onto the Regulator fitting
and tighten snugly (do not over tighten).
Shielding Gas Rear Panel - The Shielding Gas hose
connection is located at the lower left corner of the rear
panel (Fig B). Thread the brass hose connection onto the
panel fitting and tighten snugly (do not over tighten).
Shielding Gas Front Panel - The Shielding Gas hose
connection is located at the far left of the lower front panel
(Fig C). Thread the brass hose connection onto the panel
fitting and tighten snugly (do not over tighten).
Foot Pedal The Foot Pedal cable connection is located at
the second from left on the lower front panel (Fig C). Push
the 3 pin, keyed connector into the receptacle then thread
on the retaining ring to finger tight.
Torch The torch cable connection is third from left on
the lower front panel (Fig C). Push the 2 pin, keyed
connector into the receptacle then thread on the retaining
ring to finger tight.
Ground Clamp The ground clamp connection is located
at the far right of the lower front panel (Fig C). With the key
in the 12:00 position, insert the connector and turn 180
clockwise to lock in.

CONTROLS
Gas Flow - Set the Gas Flow Rate to the appropriate value
with the Knob located at the left side of the regulator.
FIG. D
The Gas Flow Indicating Gauge is located on the left side
and is generally set between 12 to 21 scfh. (Refer to Data
Chart for actual settings).
Output Amperage (A) - Set the Output Amperage Knob
marked A (Fig. D) located at upper left of the top panel to
an appropriate setting based on the thickness and type of
the metal being welded. (Refer to Data Chart for actual
settings). Keep in mind that more is not always better as
too high of an amperage setting will result in overheating of
the torch unit, excessive burning of the tungsten tip and welded material.
Clearance Effect - The Clearance Effect Knob is located at the upper right of the top panel.
Clearance Effect will shift the heat either to the workpiece or to the Tungsten tip.
NOTE: Turning the knob toward will induce more heat resulting in greater penetration to the
material being welded while rotating toward the + will induce more heat to the torch and less
penetration to the material. (Refer to Data Chart for actual settings).
Pre Flow - The Pre Flow knob located at the lower left of the top panel starts the flow of shielding
gas a fraction of a second before the arc ignites. (Refer to Data Chart for actual settings).
Post Flow - The Post Flow Knob located at the lower right of the top panel controls the time
(in seconds) that the shielding gas continues to flow after the trigger or foot pedal is released.
(Refer to Data Chart for actual settings).

OPERATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
These instructions are intended only to provide the user with some familiarity of the Eastwood unit.
TIG welding is a highly complex procedure with many variables. If you have no experience with TIG
welding; it is extremely important to seek the advice of someone experienced in TIG welding for
instruction, enroll in a local technical school welding course or study a comprehensive how-to DVD and
obtain a good quality reference book on TIG welding as there is a moderate learning curve necessary
before achieving proficiency in TIG Welding.
Before attempting to use this unit on an actual project or object of value, practice on a similar material as
there are many variables present and settings required when TIG welding different metals such as steel
or aluminum. It is also strongly recommended that the user adhere to the American Welding Society
guidelines, codes and applications prior to producing welds where safety is affected.
1. Turn the Power Switch/Circuit Breaker to the on position.
2. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve. NOTE: Always open valve fully to avoid shielding gas leakage.
3. Depress gun trigger switch or foot pedal and adjust the flow regulator. (Refer to Data Chart for
actual settings).
4. NOTE: Grounding is very important! Place the Ground Cable Clamp on a clean, bare area of your
workpiece as close to the welding area as possible to minimize the chance of shock. Scrape, wire
brush, file or grind a bare area to achieve a good ground to assure safety.
5. Use a dedicated stainless steel brush or flap-disc to clean the areas to be welded. This is particularly
critical on aluminum as a microscopic layer of oxidation can prevent an arc and actually produce a
poor-quality, contaminated weld. Do not use the brush or flap-disc for any other purpose and keep one
for steel and one for aluminum.
