Connecting the
welding torch
If the OPT/i WF TMC option is present on the wirefeeder, the welding torch can
be connected directly to the wirefeeder.
If the option is not present, the welding torch is connected to the power source.
WARNING!
Danger from electric current due to defective system components and incor-
rect operation.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
▶
All cables, leads, and hosepacks must always be securely connected, undam-
aged, and correctly insulated.
▶
Only use adequately dimensioned cables, leads, and hosepacks.
NOTE!
A damaged O-ring on the welding torch can lead to contamination of the shield-
ing gas, resulting in a defective weld.
▶
Before each start-up, ensure that the O-ring on the welding torch is undam-
aged.
