From Miller to You Thank you and congratulations on choosing Miller. Now you can get the job done and get it done right. We know you don’t have time to do it any other way. That’s why when Niels Miller first started building arc welders in 1929, he made sure his products offered long-lasting value and superior quality.
SECTION 1 −SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GTAW TORCHES − READ BEFORE USING SR6 (TIG) 2018-01 Protect yourself and others from injury — read, follow, and save these important safety precautions and operating instructions. 1-1. Symbol Usage DANGER! − Indicates a hazardous situation which, if Indicates special instructions.
D Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer. READ INSTRUCTIONS. D Perform installation, maintenance, and service according to the Owner’s Manuals, industry standards, and national, state, and loc- al codes. D Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s Manual carefully before installing, operating, or servicing unit.
SECTION 2 −DEFINITIONS Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards as shown by the symbols. Safe1 2012−05 Do not discard product (where applicable) with general waste. Reuse or recycle Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) by disposing at a designated collection facility.
3-2. Duty Cycle NOTICE − Do not exceed rated amperage or duty cycle (see Section 3-1). Ex- ceeding rated amperage or duty cycle can damage torch and void warranty. 100% Duty Cycle Examples: Definition: Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 minutes that torch can weld at rated load without overheating.

SECTION 5 − MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 5-1. Routine Maintenance Disconnect torch before maintaining. 40 Hours Repair or Clean and Replace replace tighten weld unreadable cracked terminals. labels. weld cable. Replace cracked parts Torch Body Torch Cable 5-2. Troubleshooting Before using troubleshooting table, check selection and preparation of tungsten electrode according to Section 7. Trouble Remedy Arc will not start.
Trouble Remedy Erratic arc When using DC, check polarity, and/or polarity of welding cables. When using AC, check welding power source High Frequency control setting, and be sure it is operating continuously. Select proper size and type tungsten. Properly prepare tungsten according to Section 7. Use proper arc length.
SECTION 7 − SELECTING AND PREPARING A TUNGSTEN FOR DC OR AC PHASE MACHINE WELDING Ref. gtaw_Phase_2018−01 Whenever possible and practical, use DC weld output instead of AC weld output. 7-1. Selecting Tungsten Electrode ( Wear Clean Gloves To Prevent Contamination Of Tungsten A.
SECTION 8 − GUIDELINES FOR TIG WELDING (GTAW) 8-1. Positioning The Torch Grinding the tungsten elec- trode produces dust and fly- ing sparks which can cause injury and start fires. Use lo- cal exhaust (forced ventila- tion) at the grinder or wear an approved respirator.
8-2. Torch Movement During Welding Tungsten Without Filler Rod ° Welding direction Form pool Tilt torch Move torch to front of pool. Repeat process. Tungsten With Filler Rod ° ° Welding direction Form pool Tilt torch Add filler metal Remove rod Move torch to front of pool.
