    Safety Instructions Explanation of DANGER! Indicates an immediate danger. Death or serious injury may result if Safety Instruc- appropriate precautions are not taken. tions WARNING! Indicates a possibly dangerous situation. Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur.
  • Page 10: Intended Use

    Intended Use The LaserHybrid head is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. The LaserHybrid head is intended exclusively for LaserHybrid welding of alu- minum, CrNi and steel materials. Any other use does not constitute proper use. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from improper use.
  • Page 11: Personal Protective Equipment

    Personal Protec- Please take the following precautions for your own personal safety: tive Equipment Persons present in the sealed cell for the LaserHybrid process must wear rigid, wet-insulating footwear protect hands with appropriate gloves (featuring electrical insulation and ther- mal protection) protect their eyes from laser beams by wearing regulation-compliant safety glasses for lasers.
  • Page 12: Danger Posed By Shielding Gas Leak

    The following components are factors that determine how toxic the welding fumes are: The metals used for the workpiece Electrodes Coatings Cleaning agents, degreasers, and the like Consult the corresponding material safety data sheets and manufacturer's in- structions for the components listed above. Keep flammable vapors (such as solvent vapors) out of the laser and arc ra- diation range.
  • Page 13: Vagrant Welding Currents

    Vagrant welding If the following instructions are ignored, vagrant welding currents may occur. currents These can destroy earthed conductor terminals, the power source being used, the LaserHybrid welding head and other electrical equipment. Ensure the workpiece clamp is connected tightly to the workpiece. On elec- trically conductive floors, the power source must be set up in such a way as to be insulated from the floor, wherever possible.
  • Page 14: Particular Hazard Areas

    Particular Hazard Laser beam poses a risk of injury to the eyes. In addition to using the protec- Areas tive shield with a regulation-compliant UV filter insert, eyes should be protect- ed from laser beams using regulation-compliant safety glasses for lasers. It must still be ensured, however, that no one can accidentally look into the laser beam.
  • Page 15: Informal Safety Measures

    Only use suitable load-carrying equipment from the manufacturer for trans- porting devices by crane. Attach chains or ropes to all designated suspension points on suitable load-carrying equipment. Chains or ropes must be as close to perpendicular as possible. Remove the gas cylinder and wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices). Always use a suitable wirefeeder hoisting attachment with insulation on the crane for hoisting the wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
  • Page 16: Safety Measures In Normal Operation

    Take care to ensure that the applicable national and regional guidelines and accident prevention regulations are observed when transporting the device, especially guidelines concerning hazards during transport and shipment. Before transporting the device, always completely drain the coolant and dis- mantle the following components: Wirefeeder Wirespool...
  • Page 17: Spare And Wearing Parts

    Spare and Wear- Use only original spare and wearing parts (also applies to standard parts). ing Parts It is impossible to guarantee that externally procured parts are designed and manufactured to meet the demands made on them, or that they satisfy safety requirements.

  • Page 24: Alignment

    Alignment Always align the laser welding head so that it is never at a 90° angle to the workpiece 5° surface. NOTE! If this is not observed, then serious damage will be caused to the optical fiber because the laser radiation will be reflected directly into the laser optics.
