♦ Free-handed welding leads to poorer results due to uncontrollable independent movements
ofthehands. The hand supports on the microscope are intended to prevent this.
♦ The pressure on the electrode tip should only be light.
♦ A gas flow rate of approx. 2-3 litres/minute is recommended. The gas flow should be regularly checked
at the flow regulator and adjusted if necessary.
♦ The angle with which the workpiece touches the electrode tip significantly influences the flow direction
of the welding point.
♦ For welding tasks on deeper lying points, the electrode can be clamped such that it protrudes somewhat
further out of the nozzle. The gas flow rate should be slightly increased here.
♦ In many cases it is helpful to work with welding wire as a welding supplement. The use of solder
isnotpermissible.
8.3 Abrading the electrodes
Switch off the machine prior to exchanging the electrode. This prevents uncontrolled triggering of the welding
process. The electrodes should be abraded with a diamond disk with a fine grain. The recommended angle
ofabrasion is approx. 15°. Abrading the electrodes should take place in an axial direction. The lower
theroughness depth of the tip surface, the calmer the arc burns and the higher the service life of the electrode.
