ive just had the ok from the other half to spend £250.00 on a tig. i went to have a look at a migatronic lte 200. but when i got there only his son was in
it. had a switch on the front to select 240 or 440 so i selected 240. and pluged it in it was working i put the earth in the negative and the torch in the positive. there was a switch that said hf or lift so i selected hf. the tungstone tig looked dirty but i put it close to some steel plate that had the earth on it and pressed the trigger there was a click and a sourge type sound but no arc. it did arc up when i toched the steel tried it about four or five times but you had to touch it to light it up.you had to wait a bit before the switch and sourge sound would work again maybe 5 seconds lots of knobs on the front which i did not understand hot start arc power 2t 4t one knob that said 0 to 10 seconds and amp switch
did i have some setting wrong or is the hf not working or would a dirty tungstone cause it to not light up how close should you hold it i have got some learning to do before parting with my hard earned money i think any help on this would help cheers ocean
