4.4
Preparation and replacement of the electrode
A correct geometry of the electrode is very important in order to guarantee a good quality of the welding. This geometry
depends on the current you have chosen. For your reference see the enclosed table.
The electrode must be replaced every time you can see differences from the original geometry. In this case the welding
parameters will change and the reproducibility is no longer guaranteed.
For replacement move the rotor with the open weld head forwards until you can reach dowel.
NOTE: The distance electrode work piece influences the arc voltage.
We recommend to prepare a certain number of electrodes already cut and sharpened as soon as you have determined
the electrode size.

Adjustment and replacement of microswitch
Adjustment of replacement is necessary when we realize that the pulse counting is no longer regular.
Act as follows:
• Remove the screws and remove cover
• Loose screw from basis
In case of replacement:
• Remove screw and un-weld the two wires
• Remove microswitch and replace it
