Material too thick, increase
the angle to avoid material
from being blown back into
the tip.
Do not control the arc for
more than 5 seconds. You can
also start with contact
between the burner sleeve
and metal or with a 3.2 mm
distance to the metal.
Check the air filter, increase
the air pressure.
Check the performance of the
air compressor and make sure
the inlet pressure is at least
100 PSI (6.8 bar).
ATTENTION!
fTo unscrew the electrode, do not apply
irregular pressure, gradually increase
pressure until the thread is released.
The new electrode must be screwed into
its bracket and blocked but not tightened
up to the stop.
