5.5 Welding Electrode Maintenance

CLEAN TIPS
WARNING! The electrodes may be hot. Use caution when handling
them.
ATTENTION! Les électrodes peuvent être chauds. Soyez prudent
lors de leur manipulation.
To maintain structurally-sound welds it is important to keep your welding
electrodes and weld caps from build-up. It is also important to maintain a
6mm weld nugget diameter. Clean electrodes with a file and periodically
replace weld caps.

Note:
The PLT-51 (meant for the OEM weld caps) is distinguishable from the
PLT-50 by the green mark on the neck of the grinding head.

DIRTY TIPS
Cap cleaning:
After the i5 has been turned off,
connect the PLT-51 tip sharpener
to a compressed air hose and set
the sharpening blade on the weld
cap to be cleaned. Hold down the
paddle switch while applying a
slight pressure against the weld
cap for about 10-15 seconds. Re-
peat these steps until all debris
is cleared from the weld cap and
there is a clear connection path
between both tips.
