Slag may fly off from workpieces that are cooling down. For this reason, be sure to wear
regulation-compliant protective equipment and ensure that other people are sufficiently
protected even when reworking workpieces.
Leave the welding torch and other parts with a high operating temperature to cool before
working on them.
Special regulations apply in areas where there is a risk of fire or explosion
– observe relevant national and international regulations.
Power sources for work in spaces where electrical hazards pose a greater risk (e.g. the
boiler room) must be marked with a (Safety) sign. The power source should not be located
in these types of spaces, however.
Risk of scalding due to coolant leakage. Before disconnecting connections for the coolant
supply hose or return connection, switch off the cooling unit.
When handling coolants, observe the specifications on the safety data sheet. The coolant
safety data sheet is available from your service center or from the manufacturer's homep-
age.
Only use suitable load-carrying equipment from the manufacturer for transporting devices
by crane.

Always use a suitable wirefeeder hoisting attachment with insulation on the crane for hoist-
ing the wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device is fitted with a carrier belt or handle, this should be used exclusively for trans-
portation by hand. The carrier belt is not suitable for transportation by crane, counterbal-
anced lift truck or other mechanical chain hoists.
All lifting equipment (belts, straps, chains, etc.) used in connection with the device or its
components must be checked regularly (e.g., for mechanical damage, corrosion, or chang-
es 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.
Informal Safety
The Operating Instructions must always be at hand wherever the LaserHybrid head is be-
Measures
ing used.
In addition to the Operating Instructions, all applicable local rules and regulations regarding
accident prevention and environmental protection must also be made available and be fol-
lowed.
All safety and danger notices on the LaserHybrid head must be kept in a legible state.

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).
