NOTICE
• It is also possible to use a gas diffuser instead of the electrode collet. Owing 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.
