After opening the device, use a suitable measuring instrument to check that elec-
trically charged components (e.g. capacitors) have been discharged.
CAUTION! Risk of scalding by hot system components. Before starting work, al-
low all hot system components to cool down to room temperature (+25 °C, +77
°F). For example:
- coolant
- water-cooled system components
- wire-feed unit drive motor
NOTE! Risk of damage to electronic components. Do not bring the air nozzle too
close to electronic components.
