Electrode Guides:
Electrode guides are inserted into the Adapters installed on the E-Drill to steady and
center the Electrode during the cutting process. Each Guide is sized to a specific
electrode size and color coded for easy visual identification.
The same Electrode Guides are used in both the Flush Head Locator (FHL) and
Button Head Locator (BHL) systems. Electrode guides are used with their respective
Electrode applications as depicted in the chart below.
Note: Guides should be regularly inspected for damage or wear. Heavily used
Guides should be replaced every 5000 cuts (see Hand held terminal for cut counts).
Failure to replace worn guides may increase the potential for airframe damage.
This chart illustrates the Electrode Guide used with each size Electrode.
