The following checklist serves as a guide. CHECKLIST Contact tips and gas nozzle ✓ Remove spatter and replace worn or damaged contact tip. correct ✓ Grind the end of the liner conical for optimal fitting of the contact tip (ESAB M8). Contact tip size, liner size and wire diameter ✓ Ensure that the contact tip is the correct
