setting screw (see chap. 8.3, p. 90).
X Contact Service.
X Clean the workpiece and contact clamp.
X Remove isolating intermediate layers.
X Clean the workpiece.
X Check the forming gas supply and forming
gas quantity.
X Set the electrode distance.
X Regrind the electrode (see chap. 10.5, p.
108).
X Replace the hose package.
X Use only Orbitalum cooling liquid OCL-30.
X Regrind the electrode (see chap. 10.5, p.
108).
X Regrind the electrode (see chap. 10.5, p.
108).
X Use Orbitalum electrodes.
X Insert a new fuse and, if the fault occurs
several times, contact the Orbitalum Service
X If possible, remove the foreign matter by
means of a vacuum unit. Otherwise send
the welding tongs to the Service. Under no
