Starting up the cleaning device
General
NOTE!
Not coating the interior of the welding torch may result in permanent soiling of the
torch when welding begins.
Always wet the inside of the welding torch with the manufacturer's "Robacta Reamer" part-
ing agent before starting automatic operation.
To achieve the best cleaning results, please note the following:
- Apply an even layer of parting agent to the inside of the torch
- Follow the cleaning sequences as described below
- Keep to the specified cleaning positions
- Blow out the welding torch with compressed air during the cleaning operation (howev-
er not when parting agent is being actively sprayed into the torch interior)
NOTE!
Single, small bits of welding spatter cannot be removed by the cleaning device.
However, these small pieces do not influence the welding process.
