Safety measures 
in normal opera-
tion
If the shielding gas cylinder is not connected, leave the valve cap in place on 
the cylinder.
The manufacturer's instructions must be observed as well as applicable na-
tional and international regulations for shielding gas cylinders and accesso-
ries.
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 protec-
tion 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 escape unhindered.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guide-
lines and accident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines 
regarding the risks arising during transport.
Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach 
the following components:
- Wire-feed unit
- Wirespool
- Shielding gas cylinder
After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for dam-
age before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service 
technicians before commissioning the device.
Only operate the device if 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.
Any safety devices that are not functioning properly must be repaired before 
switching on the device.
Never bypass or disable safety devices.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered.
Check the device at least once a week for obvious damage and proper func-
tioning of safety devices.
Always fasten the shielding gas cylinder securely and remove it beforehand if 
the device is to be transported by crane.
Only the manufacturer's original coolant is suitable for use with our devices 
due to its properties (electrical conductibility, anti-freeze agent, material com-
patibility, flammability, etc.).
Only use suitable original coolant from the manufacturer.
Do not mix the manufacturer's original coolant with other coolants.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from use of a dif-
ferent coolant. In addition, all warranty claims will be forfeited.
