9.1 Sharpening the tungsten electrode
Sharpening the tungsten electrode depends on wear and must therefore be carried out when
required.
NOTE
• Only qualified personnel are permitted to perform work on the device or system.
• Check the coolant hoses, seals, and connectors for damage or leaks and replace if
necessary.
• Check and wear your personal protective equipment.
NOTE
• The length of the electrode tip should be about 1-1.5 times the electrode diameter.
