5 Commissioning 5.3 Connect eye protection Warning! Only suitable original eye protection systems from Lampert may be connected to the welding system! Other eye protection systems can lead to permanent health damage or damage to the welding device. The operat- ing instructions of the respective personal protective equipment (micro- scope) must be observed.
Now hand-tighten the nut and fit the argon nozzle. (See Fig. 5.2) If you do not have a Lampert welding microscope, clamp the tung- sten electrode in the handpiece so that it protrudes approx. 4 - 6 mm beyond the nozzle.
The optional accessories (e.g. grinding motor or foot switch) are connected via the M12 plug attached to the connection cable. The respective sockets on the back of the device are colour-coded for this. Always tighten the plugs only hand-tight. 32/56 Issue EN 2022/05 PUK 6 Operating manual...
