8. Electrode cutting

Turn off the machine
after grinding the
electrode.
Loosen the electrode
in the stick-out (1) on
the cutting console, pull
out the electrode and
tighten the electrode
clamp, using your
fingers.
Set the cutting length,
using the screw (2) for
length stop (4). The
cutting length is the
same as the distance
between the cutter
console (3) and the
length stop (4). Measure
the cutting length,
using a caliper (not included). The cutting length can
be also adjusted by turning the Brass pin (5) on the
length stop.
Place the electrode holder in the stick-out on the
cutting console and tighten the electrode by turning
the electrode holder.
Mount the clamp for
the correct electrode
diameter in the Pickup
(6) by pushing in the
back part of the Pickup
and using your fingers
to screw the clamp in.
Please note that the
clamps for the Pickup
are different (flat) from the clamps for the electrode
holder.
Warning: If the clamps for the electrode holder are
used in the Pickup, the clamps will be
damaged by the cutting disc.
Mount the Pickup in
the hole on the back
of the cutting console
(7). Make sure the
Catch for Pickup (8) is
holding the Pickup in
place.

and push it in, while
releasing the Pickup
with your fingers (for
short electrodes),
or with the Pickup
release (10) (for long
electrodes) where the
electrode pass through
the Pickup, ensuring
that the electrode
tip is secured in the
Pickup.
After the electrode
holder is in place,
tighten the clamp
for the Pickup to
ensure that the
Pickup is kept in place
during cutting. To
avoid grinding liquid
splashing out of the electrode guide on the grinding
part, the Pickup release (10) can be placed in the
electrode guide.
Turn on the machine
Push in the handle
(11) and slowly turn
it clockwise until the
electrode is completely
cut through and the
handle reaches the
stop. Turn the handle
back slowly until it
comes back out. To minimize burrs on the electrode
tip, hold the electrode holder tight during cutting,
using the other hand.
Important: Turn the handle all the way to the right
to make sure that the electrode is cut
through.
Turn off the machine.
Loosen the screw for the Clamp, release the clamp
and remove the Pickup
Remove the burrs
