Wz i244 Operating Manual TIG Torch Manual TG123V, TG153, TG153F, TG203, TG203V, TW253, TW403 This picture shows the full range of Murex TIG torches Please ensure that this Instruction Manual and Parts List is made available to the user of the equipment MUREX® OPERATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIG TORCHES Your attention is drawn to the European directives and new regulations in the areas of health and safety. Please refer to the following: 1) Health and Safety (General Provisions) Regulations 2) Provison and use of Work Equipment Regulations 3) Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 4) Personal Protective Equipment at work (PPE) Regulations IMPORTANT!! BEFORE USING TORCH - TIGHTEN REGULATOR AND HOSE FITTINGS WITH PROPER SPANNER, PURGE REGULATOR AND TIG TORCH WITH INERT GAS AT 20 CUBIC FEET PER. HOUR FOR 15 MINUTES BEFORE USING TORCH. THIS WILL USE 5 CUBIC FEET OF | GAS AND WILL INSURE CONTAMINATION FREE WELDS. | THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHENEVER TORCH OR REGULATOR FITTINGS ARE ATTACHED, Water Cooled TIG Torches When using a water cooled TIG torch, care must be taken to ensure adequate flow of cooling water is present, or itreparable damage to the torch will occur. It is recommended that a water flow switch is fitted to the equipment water circulating system, to prevent use if the cooling water flow is inadequate. oo CAUTION! High Frequency Care must be taken when using a TIG torch in conjunction with High Frequency. Never strike the HF on your finger or any other part of the body. When welding is not taking place, do not leave the torch or torch leads lying in contact with metal surfaces for prolonged periods whilst the high frequency switch is on, or the torch foot switch is left in the latched position. Failure to ‘comply with this instruction may result in a breakdown of torch and torch leads insulation. Shielding Gas ou — To prevent electrode oxidation, always purge the shielding gas hose before welding and maintain the flow until the electrode has cooled after welding has ceased. MUREXK® ‘The electrode must be ground as shown in Fig 1 and Fig 2. Do not use the grinding wheel used for electrode grinding for other purposes, as contamination with other metals may cause electrode deterioration and weld contamination, Cot = 20 For general use on de. For de below 208 to. fa 2D Fig. 1. Electrode Grinding ‘The way in which the electrode tip is ground is very important (see Fig 1 and Fig 2). If the tip is: not ground, $$ to the correct shape, the result will be instability in the Fiat FV we Xie When welding with A.C. current the end of the =) amporege: / ns dlectrode shoul be sighly rounded, the ectode wit | ( ( shape itself in use, and further grinding is not necessary. If the tip becomes spherical when welding with A.C. current, it indicates that the current is too high for the electrode diameter concerned. STABLE ARC Fig. 2, Electrode Grinding To adjust or renew the electrode, undo the electrode cap one turn to allow the electrode to be withdrawn from the collet. Ifthe collet does not release its grip, lightly tap the end of the electrode. The electrode cap should never i be tightened more than finger-tight. i j 6-9mm To prevent damaging the collet, always ensure that at least 9.0mm (3/8in) of wt the electrode is gripped by the collet i 3. Electrode Stick-out ‘The electrode should not protrude more than 9.0mm (1/3in) from the nozzle except when acute angle welding or using a gas lens - see Fig 3. Gas Lens Typical Gas Lens Used in place of a regular collet body and nozzle a gas lens collet body and nozzle will provide a linear gas flow with no turbulence and hence no atmospheric air entrainment. This provides the following overall benefits: 1) Retains the gas shield in a smooth column around the weld pool 2) Reduces risk of atmospheric gas entrainment 3) Reduces risk of weld defects due to poor shielding of the weld poo! 4) Enables the welder to position the torch further away from the weld to increase access and visibility 5) Reduces the level of gas flow required, which leads to reduction in cost.

Higher welding currents may be used by experienced welders. Although thoriated electrodes may be used for A.C. welding, zirconiated electrodes are preferred when welding ‘aluminium as the risk of tungsten contamination is reduced.
