NOTICE
• It is also possible to use a gas diffuser instead of the electrode collet. Owing to its design,
it will produce a laminar gas flow.

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.
