Fronius TransSynergic 5000 Operating Instructions & Spare Parts page 19

The welding wire emerging from the welding torch poses a high risk of injury
(piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.).
Always keep the welding torch away from the body (devices with wire-feed
unit) and wear suitable protective goggles.
Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns.
Slag can jump off cooling workpieces. The specified protective equipment
must therefore also be worn when reworking workpieces, and steps must be
taken to ensure that other people are also adequately protected.
Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be al-
lowed to cool down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion - observe relevant
national and international regulations.
Power sources that are to be used in areas with increased electric risk (e.g.
near boilers) must carry the "Safety" sign. However, the power source must
not be located in such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before discon-
necting coolant flow or return lines.
Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when
transporting devices by crane.
- Hook chains and/or ropes onto the suspension points provided on the
load-carrying equipment.
- Chains/ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
- Remove gas cylinder and wire-feed unit (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the wire-feed unit is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use
a suitable, insulated wire-feed unit holder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device has a carrying strap or handle, this is intended solely for carrying
by hand. The carrying strap is not to be used if transporting with a crane, forklift
truck or other mechanical hoist.
Odourless and colourless shielding gas may escape unnoticed if an adapter
is used for the shielding gas connection. Prior to assembly, seal the device-
side thread of the adapter for the shielding gas connection using suitable Te-
flon tape.
