Safety measures
at the installation
location
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).
If the wirefeeder is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use a
suitable, insulated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devic-
es).
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, coun-
terbalanced lift truck or other mechanical hoist.
All lifting accessories (straps, handles, chains, etc.) used in connection with
the device or its components must be tested regularly (e.g. for mechanical
damage, corrosion or changes caused by other environmental factors).
The testing interval and scope of testing must comply with applicable national
standards and directives as a minimum.
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 Tef-
lon tape.
The operating instructions must always be at hand wherever the LaserHybrid
head is being used.
In addition to the operating instructions, any generally applicable and local
regulations regarding accident prevention and environmental protection must
be provided and followed.
All safety and danger notices on the LaserHybrid head must be kept in a leg-
ible condition.
The cell for the LaserHybrid welding process must meet the following require-
ments:
-
be sealed off from adjoining rooms to make it lightproof
-
be screened with min. 1 mm thick steel plate and/or approved laser pro-
tective glass to prevent any UV or laser radiation escaping
-
both the laser welding process and the arc welding process must stop au-
tomatically as soon as the cell is opened
A device that topples over can easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid,
level surface.
-
The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
-
Observe relevant national and international regulations.
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment
is always clean and clearly laid out.
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 there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1
ft. 7.69 in.) to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.
