When no welding is taking place, close the valve of the shielding gas cylinder.
Leave the cap on the valve of the shielding gas cylinder when the cylinder is not connec-
ted.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable national and international provi-
sions for shielding gas cylinders and accessories.
Safety Measures
at the Setup Loc-
ation and During
Transport
A toppling device can be deadly! Set up the device securely on an even, solid surface
- The maximum permitted tilt angle is 10°.
Special regulations apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion
- Follow the appropriate national and international regulations.
Use instructions and checks within the company to ensure that the vicinity of the work-
place is always clean and organized.
Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the protection class shown on the
rating plate.
When setting up the device, ensure that there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft.
7.69 in.) to allow cooling air to circulate unhindered.
Take care to ensure that the applicable national and regional guidelines and accident
prevention regulations are observed when transporting the device, especially guidelines
concerning hazards during transport and shipment.
Do not lift or transport any active devices. Switch off devices before transport or lifting.
Before transporting the device, completely drain the coolant and dismantle the following
components:
- wirefeeder
- wirespool
- shielding gas cylinder
It is essential to conduct a visual inspection of the device to check for damage after it has
been transported but before commissioning. Have any damage repaired by trained ser-
vice technicians before commissioning the device.
Safety Measures
in Normal Opera-
tion
Only operate the device when all safety devices are fully functional. If the safety devices
are not fully functional, there is a danger of:
- Injury or death to the operator or a third party
- Damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operating company
- Inefficient operation of the device
Safety devices that are not fully functional must be repaired before the device is switched
on.
Never bypass or disable safety devices.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one can be put in danger.
The device must be examined at least once a week for externally detectable damage
and functionality of the safety devices.
Always secure the shielding gas cylinder well and remove before transporting by crane.
Only the original coolant from the manufacturer is suitable for use in our devices due to
its properties (electrical conductivity, anti-freeze, material compatibility, flammability, etc.)
Only use appropriate original coolant from the manufacturer.
