4.2 Shortening the tungsten electrode

The electrode type is set by EN ISO 6848. The max. length of electrode depends on the type
of torch.
NOTICE
• The welding performance is affected by the selection of the tungsten electrode and by
wear. A smooth, groove-free sharpened end of the tungsten electrode has a positive effect
on the welding result.

4.3 Connecting the cable assembly

1 Plug the cable assembly connection into the power supply and secure it with a connection
nut.
2 Properly mount the connections for coolant supply/return, shielding gas and control lead
plug. Applies only to liquid-cooled welding torches.

4.4 Connecting the coolant

WARNING

Risk of burns

The cable assembly overheats if the coolant level is too low.
• Wear the correct protective gloves.
• Check the coolant level at regular intervals.
NOTICE
• Make sure that the coolant supply and return have been installed properly. Coolant
supply = blue, Coolant return = red.
• Each time the device is commissioned or after each hose assembly change, the cooling
system must be ventilated as follows: Disconnect the coolant return hose from the re-
circulating cooling unit and hold it over a collecting device. Close opening at the coolant
return. Open it again by repeatedly and abruptly releasing it, until the coolant is flowing
continuously and without air bubbles.
• Do not use any deionized or demineralized water as coolant or for tightness or flow tests.
This may impair the service life of your welding torch.
• We recommend the use of ABICOR BINZEL series BTC coolant for liquid-cooled
welding torches.
