automatically adjust the filter darkness according to weld intensity to provide a comfortable and safe view of the
welding process. e operator can then see the molten weld puddle flow as the welding process takes place. is visibility
allows the user to adjust electrode position during the welding process to perform the best weld seam every time.
Become Familiar with the Microscope
e Orion Microscope has been designed to provide maximum visual clarity, eye protection and ease of use. One challenge
using the microscope is getting used to bringing the work-piece to the welding electrode while looking through the
microscope. is is an easy challenge to overcome. To begin, follow these steps with the welder on pause. *While the welder
is on pause it will not weld when the work-piece touches the electrode.
1. Rest your hands on the table and position the work-piece close to the welding
electrode before looking into the microscope.
2. Make sure your focus is at the tip of the electrode.
3. Use slow, controlled movements.
4. It is helpful to have your hands resting and to only use your fingers to move the
work-piece up to the electrode.
5. Place the work-piece surface perpendicular to the point of the electrode. *As will
be discussed, the angle of the electrode tip relative to the work-piece surface is
very important and will take practice.
6. Now practice making light contact with the work-piece to the electrode.
*Remember to follow these steps once the welder is completely set up ready to begin welding.
Electrode Setup
e Orion welder comes standard with a 0.5mm electrode collet and (5) 0.5mm electrodes; and a 1.0mm
electrode collet and (5) 1.0mm electrodes. e 1.0mm electrodes are a good all around electrode while
the 0.5mm electrode is excellent for very small projects (less than 5ws of energy).
STYLUS COMPONENTS:
1. Stylus Shaft 2. Collet 3. Collet Cap 4. Electrode 5. Stylus Hull
INSTALL THE TUNGSTEN ELECTRODE ONTO THE WELDING STYLUS
1. Remove the stylus hull by pulling it away from the stylus.
2. Loosen the collet cap by twisting it counter-clockwise.
3. e welder comes with 2 electrode collets. One that fits 0.5mm electrodes and
one that fits 1.0mm electrodes. e electrode stylus will be shipped with the
1.0mm electrode collet installed.
4. Insert the 1.0mm electrode into the collet.
a. ere is a groove around the Stylus Hull that will help measure the electrode
length.
b. Place the end of the stylus hull up against the collet cap
c. Make sure the electrode tip falls between groove. (ere should be between
