The parts of TIG welding torches listed below are subject to wear and soiling. This is why these
parts must be subjected to regular maintenance and cleaning.
• Torch body
• Gas nozzle
• Tungsten electrodes
• Back cap
• Electrode holder
Sharpening the tungsten electrode
Sharpening the tungsten electrode depends on wear and must therefore be carried out when
required.
To sharpen the tungsten electrode, use a sharpening device with a diamond plate. In doing so,
observe the following:
• The point is sharpened longitudinally through the center axis.
• Automatic regulation of the tungsten electrode drive by gravity.
• Can be set for all electrode diameters.
• Continuous adjustment of the angle.
NOTICE
• The length of the electrode tip should be about 1-1.5 times the electrode diameter.
