Connecting the shielding gas supply

Risk of injury due to improper handling of shielding gas cylinders!
Improper handling and insufficient securing of shielding gas cylinders
can cause serious injuries!
•
Place shielding gas cylinder into the designated holder and secure with
fastening elements (chain/belt)!
•
Attach the fastening elements within the upper half of the shielding gas
cylinder!
•
The fastening elements must tightly enclose the shielding gas cylinder!
An unhindered shielding gas supply from the shielding gas cylinder to the welding torch is a
fundamental requirement for optimum welding results. In addition, a blocked shielding gas
supply may result in the welding torch being destroyed.
•
Always re-fit the yellow protective cap when not using the shielding gas connection.
•
All shielding gas connections must be gas tight.
5.2.5

Welding torch connection

Equipment damage due to improperly connected coolant pipes!
If the coolant pipes are not properly connected or a gas-cooled welding torch is used, the coolant
circuit is interrupted and equipment damage can occur.
•
Connect all coolant pipes correctly!
•
Completely unroll the hose package and the torch hose package!
•
Observe maximal hose package length > see 5.2.2.2 chapter.
•
When using a gas-cooled welding torch, use a hose bridge to establish the coolant
circuit > see 9 chapter.
