cleaning tips
B) Instructions
1. Place the unit on a flat stable surface, in a well
ventilated area where you will be working.
2. Connect ground cable to ground connector and attach
grounding clamp to work piece.
3. Connect power cable to power connector.
4. Mount the insert and cleaning pad or the brush.
SURFOX cleaning pads are made from highly heat
resistant polymers for extra long service life. The cleaning
pad must be replaced regularly.
Note: Never use the wand insert without a mounted
cleaning pad. If the pad must be replaced while working,
please observe the following:
• During the cleaning process, the wand tip and work
piece can reach very high temperatures.
Before replacing a worn cleaning pad or a brush, switch
the unit OFF and disconnect from power supply, allow
the wand tip to cool. The use of protective gloves is
recommended.
5. Screw on disposable SURFOX electrolyte solution
cartridge to wand. Press the top of the wand with your
finger to pump solution to the pad.
6. With switch in the OFF position, connect the unit to a
proper power supply as described under AMPERAGE.
7. Flip switch to the ON position.
8. Selecting the proper setting.
Select low or high depending on the amount of heat
tint to remove and the type of material that is being
cleaned. Brush option and large insert can also
be selected.
9. Make sure the cleaning pad or brush is saturated with
SURFOX electrolyte solution before starting to work. If
the cleaning pad or brush is too dry, it will wear prema-
turely. Start working when solution drips from the
cleaning pad or brush.
Do not press hard, let the electrochemical process do
the work. The cleaning pad is a bridge between the
machine and the weld. Do not use the cleaning pad like
an abrasive pad and scrub. Doing this will shorten the
life of the pad.
10. When done, place wand in holder and switch unit off.
