5.
Loosen the electrode clamping screw holding the micro
weld head as shown in Figure 4-8(A).
This orientation helps to prevent the electrode from
falling out during installation.
6.
Install a new electrode with the tweezers to avoid
contamination. Insert the electrode through the ceramic
insulator and into the rotor to its full insertion depth.
Make sure the sharp tip of the electrode is pointing out.
See Figure 4-8(B).
7.
Tighten the clamping screw sufficiently to prevent the
electrode from falling out of the rotor. Do not
overtighten the clamping screw.
8.
Clean the electrode with the provided electrode
cleaning tool.
Push the electrode into the electrode cleaning tool and
rotate back and forth two to three times.
