Insert the electrode (1) into the clam-

ping sleeve of the electrode holder
from the front
– Approx. 25 mm of the electrode
must still protrude at the front
Twist the front part (2) and back part
2
(3) of the electrode holder as shown
and lightly clamp the electrode
The electrode should then not be able

to slip by itself, but it must still be pos-
sible to move it by hand

de bushing (4) of the length stop as far
as the stop
– This accurately sets the length of
the electrode
Tighten the back part of the electrode

holder (3)
– This clamps the electrode in the
electrode holder
