NOTICE
• Instead of the electrode holder, you may also use a gas diffuser. Due to its design, it will
produce a laminar gas flow.

4.2 Shortening the tungsten electrode

The electrode type is set by EN ISO 6848. The maximum electrode length depends on the torch
type.
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.

4.3 Connecting the cable assembly

1 Plug the hose assembly connection into the power source and secure it with a connection nut.
2 Properly mount the connections for water supply/return, shielding gas and control line plug.
