Tips for using felts
Renew felts in good time, before the material thickness has decreased
too much, due to wear and tear, or holes arise.
Excessive wear and tear causes short circuits.
This results in damage to the surface of the material.
Short circuits present no danger to the user or the appliance, due to an
integrated thermal fuse which triggers in the event of overcurrents, as a
precaution.
Felts may be used only in conjunction with:
Rigid carbon electrodes 30°...,60°... or 90°
Red marking or cleaning handles
Thin 1.5mm² connecting cables.
Felts must be secured with an O-ring to the carbon electrode.
This prevents:
Current flowing between the carbon electrode and the work piece,
in the event of a short circuit.
Indirect current flow through the felt soaked in electrolyte.
Keep the felts wet at all times.
Dip the felt attached to the carbon electrode frequently enough into the
container with electrolyte.
The felt and the carbon electrode are cooled.
This significantly extends the service life.
