SECTION 1 − SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - READ BEFORE USING

Tung_Grind 2010−03

Protect yourself and others from injury — read and follow these precautions.

1-1. Symbol Usage

DANGER! − Indicates a hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. The

possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols

or explained in the text.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury. The possible

hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or ex-

plainedin the text.

NOTICE − Indicates statements not related to personal injury.

Indicates special instructions.

This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! ELECTRIC

SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult sym-

bols and related instructions below for necessary actions to avoid the

hazards.

1-2. Tungsten Grinding Hazards

The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual

to call attention to and identify possible hazards. When you

see the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions

to avoid the hazard. The safety information given below is

only a summary of the more complete safety information

found in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-4. Read and

follow all Safety Standards.

Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and

repair this unit.

During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Touchinglive electrical parts can cause fatal shocks

or severe burns. The input power circuit and

machineinternal circuits are also live when power is

on. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded

equipmentis a hazard.

Do not touch live electrical parts.

Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.

Disconnect input power before installing or servicing this

equipment.

Properly install this equipment according to its Owner’s Manual

and national, state, and local codes.

Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring −

replace cord immediately if damaged − bare wiring can kill.

Turn off all equipment when not in use.

Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged

parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.

Keep all panels and covers securely in place.

Grinding produces dust. Breathing this dust can be

hazardous to your health.

GRINDING DUST can be hazardous.

Do not breathe the dust.

Use local exhaust (forced ventilation) to remove dust or wear an

approved respirator.

Grinding dust from thoriated electrodes contains low-level radio-

active material. Consider using tungsten containing ceria,

lanthana,or yttria instead of thoria.

Properly dispose of grinder dust in an environmentally safe way.

Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)

and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals and consumables.

GRINDINGcan cause FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

Do not grind where flying sparks can strike

flammablematerial.

Protect yourself and others from flying sparks

and hot metal.

Be alert that sparks and hot materials from grinding can easily go

throughsmall cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

FLYING SPARKS can injure.

Wear a face shield to protect eyes and face.

Shape tungsten electrode only on grinder with

properguards in a safe location wearing proper

face, hand, and body protection.

Sparks can cause fires — keep flammables away.

HOT PARTS can burn.

Do not touch hot parts bare handed.

Allow cooling period before working on equip-

ment.

To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or

wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and

clothingto prevent burns.

OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING

Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.

Keepair holes free of dust; clean if necessary.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s

Manualcarefully before installing, operating, or

servicing unit. Read the safety information at

the beginning of the manual and in each

section.

Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.

Perform maintenance and service according to the Owner’s

Manuals, industry standards, and national, state, and local

codes.

OM-230 915 Page 2

MOVING PARTS can injure.

Keep away from moving parts.

Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards

closed and securely in place.

Have only qualified persons remove doors, panels, covers, or

guards for maintenance and troubleshooting as necessary.

Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when maintenance is

finishedand before reconnecting input power.

1-3. California Proposition 65 Warnings

Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases

which contain chemicals known to the State of California to

cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California

Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)

This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to

the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other

reproductiveharm. Wash hands after use.

SECTION 3 − SPECIFICATIONS

3-1. Description

The TTG Plus cuts, grinds, and faces tungsten electrodes used in the TIG (GTAW) welding process. Additional fea-

tures and benefits of this unit are:

•Electrodes are sharpened to conform to recognized standards.

•The replaceable grinding wheel is diamond-coated on both sides.

•The grinding wheel has an offset edge for easy cutting − an industry exclusive!

•The head assembly allows for different electrode angles and diameters.

•The unit can be hand operated, or bench-mounted using the supplied mounting bracket.

Grinding the tungsten electrode produces dust and flying sparks which can cause injury and start fires. Use local exhaust (forced

ventilation) at the grinder or wear an approved respirator.

Read MSDS for safety information. Consider using tungsten containing ceria, lanthana, or yttria instead of thoria. Grinding dust from

thoriatedelectrodes contains low-level radioactive material. Properly dispose of grinder dust in an environmentally safe way. Wear

proper face, hand, and body protection. Keep flammables away.

!Grinding the tungsten electrode

producesdust and flying sparks

which can cause injury and start

fires. Use local exhaust (forced

an approved respirator.

Read MSDS for safety informa-

tion. Consider using tungsten

containingceria, lanthana, or yt-

tria instead of thoria. Grinding

dust from thoriated electrodes

contains low-level radioactive

material. Properly dispose of

grinder dust in an environmen-

tally safe way. Wear proper face,

hand, and body protection. Keep

flammablesaway.

Do not exert excessive pressure on

the grinding wheel or the life of the

wheel will be shortened.

Use a rough grinding wheel to

sharpenlarge electrodes.

Wait until grinding wheel stops be-

fore restarting grinder.

1 Tungsten Electrode

To Sharpen Electrode:

Determine diameter of electrode and

desiredsharpening angle.

Turn on grinder. Insert electrode in cor-

respondinghole in grinder.

Slowly turn the electrode until tip is

sharpenedevenly. If the electrode is not

turned the tip will be flat ground to the

selectedangle.

To Face Grind Electrode:

Determine diameter of electrode.

Turn on grinder. Insert electrode in cor-

responding hole at front of grinding

head. Grind the electrode tip until

square.

To Cut Electrode To Length:

(For Orbital Or Manual Welding):

2 Cutting Slot

Turn on grinder. Insert electrode in cut-

ting slot and turn electrode slowly until

cut.

An optional cutting device is avail-

ablefor larger electrodes. See Sec-

tion 7.

Turn grinder off.
