FOCUS THE BASE MICROSCOPE
1. Move the microscope head up or down to a comfortable height.
2. Adjust the stylus rod so the stylus is at a 45-degree angle.
3. Adjust the stylus rod holder up and down to a height that gives the user room to position their
hands underneath the stylus and lift the work piece upward to the stylus.
4. Twist the Microscope Focus knob to focus the microscope.
When adjusting the microscope focus, place your finger at the tip of the
welding stylus to help judge the correct focus location. Focus the microscope
till the texture on the skin of your finger is clearly visible.
