NOTICE
• Instead of the electrode holder, you may also use a gas diffuser. Due to
its design, it will produce a laminar gas flow.
NOTICE
• The welding performance is affected by the selection of the tungsten
electrode and by wear. A smooth, groove-free sharpened end of the
tungsten electrode has a positive effect on the welding result.
