• Unscrew the clamping cap
(27)
.
• Remove the existing tungsten electrode
(26)
from the collet
(28)
and insert the new electrode in.
• Insert the collet
(28)
into the torch.
• Scrrew the clamping cap
(27)
tightly.
• The ceramic gas nozzle
(30)
and the tungsten electrode
(26)
diameters should be selected according to the working current and the shape of the
work-piece. Therefore the collet
(28)
, the collet body
(29)
must be matched with the diameter of the tungsten electrode
(26)
.

2.4 Connections For MMA Welding
• Switch ON the machine by following the steps 2.3.1
• According to the polarity of the electrode to be used, insert the electrode holder cable
(20)
and the earth clamb cable
(18)
plugs into their approp-
riate sockets
(5-6)
and tighten them by turning clock-wise.
• Connect the earth clamp
(24)
tightly to the work-piece as close as possible to the welding area.
• Adjust the desired current and the machine is ready to weld.
• Below table is given as a reference for currrent adjustment of mild steel electrodes, please refer to the electrode manufacturer’s recommendations.
