Always make sure that the two small screws for the heating filament are well tightened. Otherwise the bad contact causes sparks that will corrode the filament as well as the heating clamps. First, tighten the screws slightly to adjust the filament and then tighten them up by a final turn of about 30 to 60 degrees. For the knurled screw use the Allen key as a lever.
