Recommended combinations / Electrode grinding
0.3 - 3 mm
2.4 - 6 mm
4 - 8 mm
6.8 - 10 mm
To optimize the working, you have to use an electrode grinded as below:
L = 2,5 x d.

Remedies
Wait for the end of the cooling
time, around 2 minutes. The indi-
cator lamp (6) turns off.
Check the connections.
Check the plug and the earth of
your electrical network.
Check the connections.
Have the electrical installation
checked.
Use a tungsten electrode with the
adequate size
Use a well prepared tungsten
electrode
Reduce gas flow rate
Protect welding zone against air
flows
Check and tighten all gas connec-
tions. Wait until the electrode cools
down before stopping the gas.
Check that the earth clamp is
