How to clean the Electrodes by using the electrode sharpener
a) Firmly stick the tip of an electrode (approx. 0.5~1.0mm) into the
electrode sharpener and turn/twist the electrode 3~4 times.
Attention: Don’t grasp the electrode knob (if possible, grasp a section of
the electrode rod).
b) In an effort to clean the electrode tip, wipe it softly with BEMCOT
dipping ethyl alcohol.
< Attention >
You can use all faces of the electrode sharpener.
Extreme treatment distorts the electrode tip and can possibly move the
knob position.
4.
When loading the electrodes into the splicer, push the electrode knob
flush with the holding plate to ensure correct position.
5.
Tighten the screws of the Holding Plates uniformly. Do not over tighten
the screws.
6.
Lower the wind shield, and press ARC at least five (5) times to burn off
any residue remaining on the electrodes.
