Safety specifications for MIG/MAG welding machines
The power source must only be operated when the safety devices are fully
operative.
If the safety devices are not fully operative, this is dangerous for:
• the life and limb of the operator or third persons
• the power source or other property of the owner and operator.
Never evade safety devices or put them out of action.
• Please check the power source weekly for damages to be seen and check
the operativeness of the safety devices.
• Only use the original coolant of the manufacturer if liquid cooled power
sources are concerned.
• Only the original coolant is suitable for the CLOOS power sources because
of its properties such as electric conductivity, antifreeze compound, mate-
rial compatibility, protection against corrosion and inflammability.
• Do not mix the original coolant with other coolants to prevent a chemi-
cal reaction which could clog the cooling circuit and damage the coolant
pump. The manufacturer is not liable for such damages.
Pay attention to the following notes when opening the cooling circuit:
• Bring the welding torch and the torch bracket into a suitable position to
avoid an uncontrolled leakage of the coolant, particularly over electric or
electronic components.
• Provide a suitable collection tray to collect the coolant.
Hazard warning
Coolant may cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated
exposure.
• Do no eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• If swallowed, get immediate medical advice; rinse mouth.
Used coolant must be disposed of correctly as hazardous waste in accordance
with the official local regulations.
The coolant must not enter the normal waste water system!
• Use only original spare and wear parts. Foreign bought spare and wear
parts do not guarantee that they have been designed and manufactured
strain-proof and in compliance with safety.
• Parts which are not in perfect condition must be exchanged immediately.
