-
Hook chains or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the load-carry-
ing equipment.
-
Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
-
Remove gas cylinder and wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the wirefeeder is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use a suita-
ble, insulated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device has a carrying strap or handle, this is intended solely for carrying by
hand. The carrying strap is not to be used if transporting with a crane, counterba-
lanced lift truck or other mechanical hoist.
All lifting tackle (straps, handles, chains, etc.) used in connection with the device
or its components must be tested regularly (e.g. for mechanical damage, corrosi-
on or changes caused by other environmental factors).
The testing interval and scope of testing must comply with applicable national
standards and directives as a minimum.
Odourless and colourless shielding gas may escape unnoticed if an adapter is
used for the shielding gas connection. Prior to assembly, seal the device-side
thread of the adapter for the shielding gas connection using suitable Teflon tape.
Safety measures
at the installati-
on location and
during transport
A device toppling over could easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid, level
surface such that it remains stable
-
The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
-
Observe relevant national and international regulations.
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment is
always clean and clearly laid out.
Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the degree of protection
shown on the rating plate.
When setting up the device, ensure there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft.
7.69 in.) to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines
and accident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regar-
ding the risks arising during transport.
Do not lift or transport operational devices. Switch off devices before transport
or lifting.
Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the
following components:
-
Wirefeeder
-
Wirespool
-
Shielding gas cylinder
After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for damage
before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service technici-
ans 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 risk of
-
injury or death to the operator or a third party
-
damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator
-
inefficient operation of the device
