What could be the reason for the arc not initiating when attempting to weld, especially if no gas is connected to the device?
For TIG welding, if the arc does not initiate, it is crucial to ensure that the TIG torch and gas hose are properly connected. Confirm that a correctly sharpened thoriated tungsten electrode is mounted in the torch, and that the gas flow rate is adjusted between 5 and 10 l/min. The arc cannot initiate correctly without gas.
