The parts of TIG welding torches listed below are subject to wear and soiling.
This is why these parts must be subjected to regular maintenance and cleaning.
1 Remove welding spatter.
2 Check all screw joints for tight fit.
BINZEL offers repair services at the factory.
Sharpening the tungsten electrode depends on wear and must therefore be
carried out when required.
NOTE
• The length of the electrode tip should be about 1-1.5 times the electrode
diameter.
