at the Installation
Location
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).
If the device is fitted with a carrier belt or handle, this should be used exclu-
sively for transportation by hand. The carrier belt is not suitable for transporta-
tion by crane, counterbalanced lift truck or other mechanical chain hoists.
All lifting equipment (belts, straps, chains, etc.) used in connection with the de-
vice or its components must be checked regularly (e.g., for mechanical dam-
age, corrosion, or changes due to other environmental influences).
The test interval and scope must, as a minimum, comply with the respective
valid national standards and guidelines.
There is a risk of colorless, odorless shielding gas escaping without notice if
an adapter is used for the shielding gas connection. Use suitable Teflon tape
to seal the thread of the shielding gas connection adapter on the device side
before installation.
The Operating Instructions must always be at hand wherever the LaserHybrid
head is being used.
In addition to the Operating Instructions, all applicable local rules and regula-
tions regarding accident prevention and environmental protection must also
be made available and be followed.
All safety and danger notices on the LaserHybrid head must be kept in a leg-
ible state.
The cell for the LaserHybrid welding process must meet the following require-
ments:
-
be light-proof in relation to surrounding rooms
-
is shielded with at least 1 mm steel plate and/or approved laser protective
glass to protect against UV and laser beams
-
The laser welding process and the arc welding process must be stopped
automatically and immediately as soon as the cell is opened.
A toppling device can be deadly! Set up the device securely on an even, solid
surface
-
A tilt angle of no more than 10° is permitted
Special regulations apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion
-
Follow the appropriate national and international regulations.
Use instructions and checks within the company to ensure that the vicinity of
the workplace is always clean and organized.
Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the degree of protec-
tion shown on the rating plate.
When setting up the device, ensure an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69
in.) so that the cooling air can enter and leave unhindered.
