WARNING! The electrodes may be hot. Use caution when handling

PLT-51 Tip Sharpener
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 le 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.
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.
