Re TIG welding of Aluminium, you need an A.C. TIG welding machine with high frequency start. If you only have a D.C. inverter, you can only weld Stainless or Steel.
Looking closer at the machine, looks like an AC/DC machine. Make sure the leads are the right way round.

Mezo.

This is a good read that gives some of the background of the Rainbow Family as well as a best guess at its naming origins.
