Only use suitable load-carrying equipment from the manufacturer when transporting
devices by crane.
- Attach chains or ropes to all designated attachments of the suitable load-carrying
equipment.
- Chains or ropes must be the smallest angle possible from vertical.
- Remove gas cylinder and wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
In the event of crane attachment of the wirefeeder during welding, always use a suitable,
insulating wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device is equipped with a carrier belt or handle, then this is used exclusively for
transport by hand. The carrier belt is not suitable for transport by crane, counterbalanced
lift truck or other mechanical lifting tools.
All lifting equipment (belts, buckles, chains, etc.), which is used in association with the
device or its components, must be checked regularly (e.g. for mechanical damage, cor-
rosion, or changes due to other environmental influences).
The test interval and scope must at least comply with the respective valid national stand-
ards and guidelines.
There is a risk of colorless, odorless shielding gas escaping without notice if an adapter
is used for the shielding gas connection. Use suitable Teflon tape to seal the thread of
the shielding gas connection adapter on the device side before installation.
Undesired weld-
ing results
The following specifications concerning shielding gas quality must be met in order to
ensure the safe and proper function of the welding system:
- Solid particle size <40μm
- Pressure dew point <-20 °C
- Max. oil content <25mg/m³
Use filters if necessary.
NOTE!
Ring lines in particular pose a risk of contamination
Danger from
Shielding Gas
Cylinders
Shielding gas cylinders contain compressed gas and may explode if damaged. Shielding
gas cylinders are an integral part of the welding equipment, so they must be handled
very carefully.
Protect shielding gas cylinders with compressed gas from excessive heat, mechanical
impact, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.
Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure them in accordance with instruc-
tions so they cannot fall over.
Keep shielding gas cylinders away from welding or other electrical circuits.
Never hang a welding torch on a shielding gas cylinder.
Never touch a shielding gas cylinder with an electrode.
Risk of explosion: Never weld on a compressed shielding gas cylinder.
Always use suitable shielding gas cylinders for the application in question and the correct
matching accessories (controller, hoses, and fittings, etc.) Only use shielding gas cylin-
ders and accessories that are in good condition.
If a valve on a shielding gas cylinder is open, turn your face away from the outlet.
