Is it possible to Welding machine break If I use lift arc TIG with home made foot pedal (like Jody), I own EWM Pico 162 who have TIG/ Stick button?

I think it would be fine, the only time the foot pedal would be used is to break the arc, that way you can maintain gas coverage
Welcome to the forum by the way.

Yes I know, foot pedal works like light switch, but I thought that creating a short circuit current, If it will not affect the appliance! Thanks

There is no problem with your pedal.
that ewm is a fantastic welder

[carbravar]

Thanks for information!
EWM are excellent machines!

That foot switch will be fine.

I think it's pretty cool that those welders can use an intake filter to keep junk out of the interior.

[carbravar]

Yea, but intake filter costs 65$!

I'm curious, how much is the welder?

65$ Croatian Kuna = about $11 U.S.

[wheresmejumper]

About the equivalent of US$800 to 900
ocv is 105 so will burn pretty much any rod

65$ = 400 Croatian Kuna
Orginal EWM Filter
