Care, maintenance and disposal
General remarks Regular preventive maintenance of the welding torch is essential for problem-
free operation. The welding torch is subjected to high temperatures. It therefore
requires more frequent maintenance than other components in the welding sys-
tem.
WARNING!

Before carrying out any work on the welding torch:
▶
Switch the power source mains switch to the „O“ position
▶
Unplug power source from the mains
▶
Put up an easy-to-understand warning sign to stop anybody inadvertently
switching it back on again
At every start-
up

Check that the cooling unit is working properly, monitor the water return le-
vel in the coolant container, vent the cooling unit if necessary
