• Make adjustments for the angle of the point (in degrees)
and the electrode diameter;
- Loosen the central screw on the head
- Set the degree and the electrode
diameter by turning the grinder head
- Tighten the central screw
The number of degrees equals the angle
of the point on the sharpened electrode
• Turn on the TURBO-SHARP®X
• Guide the tungsten electrode through the opening that
coincides with its diameter
• Carefully press the tungsten electrode onto the revolving
disc, while at the same time rotating it with light pressure
(the harder the tungsten is pressed against the disc, the
shorter the lifespan of the disc is)
• Continue to rotate the electrode as it is removed from the
disc until there is no longer any contact
• Inspect the results and, if necessary, repeat the process
• The multi-functional cover with integrated opening slide
makes it possible to surface grind electrodes that have
welding deposits due to the welding process. In addition,
ground electrodes can be given a truncated cone.
6. Optional Grinding Head :
• A second head (colored red) is available for the
TURBO-SHARP®X for electrodes with diameters of
.040“(1.0mm) - 5/32“(4.0mm) - 3/16“(4.8mm) - 1/4“(6.4mm)
ORDER NUMBER: TS3-HR
7. How to Use :
4. Vacuum Removal of Dust :
We recommend this procedure as a safety measure to
minimize contact with tungsten dust that results from
the grinding process.
Multi-functional Cover
Opening Slide
Scale to adjust the grinding angle
Tungsten Electrode
Central screw to adjust electrode diameter and angle
2. Motor unit :
Changes :
Text, illustrations and data correspond with the state of
technology at the time of printing. We reserve the right
to make changes that will further the development of our
product.
3. Power On/Off :

- can be fastened in a vice
- can be fastened by means
of a screw clamp

• Loosen and then completely remove the three hexagonal
countersunk screws with a 4mm hexagonal key
• Remove the cover
• Use the supplied
rotating socket and connect
to the vacuum system.
Electrical Connection :
Connect only to single-phase alternating current and only to the
voltage stated on the specication label. The TURBO-SHARP®X
is insulated according to DIN 57 740/ VDE 0740 (EEC 20) and
can be connected to ungrounded electrical sockets. Radio
interference complies with European Norm EN 55014.

8. Grinding Disc Adjustment :
• To obtain a different grinding area on the disc, loosen
the 3 set screws on the base of the head-cover and
rotate the collar to 1,2 or 3. This will allow 3 different
grinding locations on the disc for one particular angle.
