What is the first step before TIG welding?

Explanation:
Before TIG welding, you verify that the equipment is in good condition and ready to use. Inspecting cables, the TIG torch, gas lines, and the tungsten electrode ensures there are no leaks, worn or damaged parts, or an improperly prepared electrode that could contaminate the weld or cause an arc to fail. This safety and readiness check prevents problems once you strike an arc and helps you start with a clean, stable weld. The other steps—turning on the machine, setting amperage, and selecting filler rod—come after you’ve confirmed the equipment is safe and ready.
