  • Page 9: Safety Rules

    Safety rules Explanation of DANGER! Indicates immediate and real danger. If it is not avoided, death or se- safety symbols rious injury will result. WARNING! Indicates a potentially 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: Proper Use

    Proper use The LaserHybrid head is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. The LaserHybrid head is intended solely for use in LaserHybrid welding of al- uminium, CrNi and steel materials. Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
  • Page 11: Obligations Of Personnel

    Obligations of Before starting work, all persons using the LaserHybrid head undertake: personnel to observe the basic instructions regarding safety at work and accident prevention to read these operating instructions, especially the "Safety rules" section and sign to confirm that they have understood them and will follow them. Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in your absence.
  • Page 12: Danger From Escaping Shielding Gas

    Otherwise, a protective mask with an air supply must be worn. Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is tak- ing place. If there is any doubt about whether the extraction capacity is sufficient, the measured toxic emission values should be compared with the permissible limit values.
  • 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 electrically conductive floors, the power source must be set up in such a way as to be insulated from the floor, wherever possible.
  • Page 14: Specific Hazards

    Specific hazards Risk of injury to the eyes from the laser beam. In addition to the protective visor with regulation UV filter element, ensure that all persons wear regulation laser safety goggles to protect their eyes from laser beams. You should still ensure that nobody can accidentally look into the laser beam.
  • Page 15: Informal Safety Measures

    Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when transporting devices by crane. Hook chains or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the load-car- rying equipment. Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical. Remove gas cylinder and wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
  • Page 16: Safety Measures In Normal Operation

    When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guide- lines and accident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regarding the risks arising during transport. Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the following components: Wire feed speed Wirespool Shielding gas cylinder...
