Safety rules General The device is manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and according to recognised safety standards. If used incorrectly or misused, however, it can cause: injury or death to the operator or a third party, damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operating company, inefficient operation of the device.
Ambient temperature range: during operation: -10 °C to + 40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F) during transport and storage: -20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to 131 °F) Relative humidity: up to 50% at 40 °C (104 °F) up to 90% at 20 °C (68 °F) The surrounding air must be free from dust, acids, corrosive gases or substances, etc.
Suitable protective clothing must be worn when working with the device. The protective clothing must have the following properties: Flame-resistant Insulating and dry Covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition Safety helmet Trousers with no turn-ups Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should: Protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective visor and reg- ulation filter Wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protective visor...
The following components are responsible, amongst other things, for the degree of toxicity of welding fumes: Metals used for the workpiece Electrodes Coatings Cleaners, degreasers, etc. Welding process used The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for the listed components should therefore be studied carefully.
The electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, etc.) must never be immersed in liquid for cooling Never touch the electrode when the power source is switched on. Double the open circuit voltage of a power source can occur between the welding elec- trodes of two power sources.
EMC Device Clas- Devices in emission class A: sifications Are only designed for use in industrial settings Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas Devices in emission class B: Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This is also true for residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-voltage mains.
Specific hazards Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts. For example: Fans Cogs Rollers Shafts Wirespools and welding wires Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive components. Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
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 Teflon tape. Requirement for Especially with ring lines, contaminated shielding gas can cause damage to equipment and the shielding gas reduce welding quality.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines and ac- cident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regarding the risks aris- ing during transport. Do not lift or transport operational devices. Switch off devices before transport or lifting. Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the following components: Wirefeeder...

Welding is dangerous. The following basic requirements must be met to en- sure the equipment is used properly: Welders must be sufficiently qualified Suitable protective equipment must be used All persons not involved must be kept at a safe distance from the wire- feed unit and the welding process Do not use the functions described here until you have fully read and under- stood the following documents:...
Do not use the functions described until you have thoroughly read and understood the fol- lowing documents: ► these operating instructions ► all the operating instructions for the system components, especially the safety rules KD 7000 D-11 (10) (11) (13)

IMPORTANT! For more information about the Fdi parameter, refer to the power source operating instructions. If the welder releases the wire threading button (16) before 1 second has elapsed and then presses it again, the sequence starts again from the beginning. This makes it possible to position the wire continuously at the low wire feed speed of 1 m/min or 39.37 ipm when necessary.
Placing the cold wire feeder on the power source General If the TransTig 4000/5000 and MagicWave 4000/5000 power sources have been fixed onto a trolley with cooling unit, the cold wire feeder can be placed on the optional wirefeeder holder on the trolley. Placing the cold wire feeder on the CAUTION!
Connect the cold wire feeder to the power source General The cold wire feeder is connected to the power source using the interconnecting hosepack. Connect the cold WARNING! wire feeder to the power source Fitting the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and damage. Do not carry out the steps described here until you have read and completely understood all the operating instructions.

Inserting/replacing feed rollers General In order to achieve the best welding wire feed, the feed rollers must be suitable for the di- ameter and alloy of the wire being welded. IMPORTANT! Use only feed rollers that are suitable for the welding wire in question. An overview of the feed rollers available and their potential application areas can be found in the spare parts lists.
Inserting the wirespool, inserting the basket-type spool Safety CAUTION! Risk of injury from springiness of spooled welding wire. While inserting the wirespool/basket-type spool, hold the end of the welding wire firmly to avoid injuries caused by the wire springing back. CAUTION! Risk of injury from falling wirespool/basket-type spool.
Feeding in the welding wire Feeding in the CAUTION! welding wire Risk of injury from springiness of spooled welding wire. While inserting the welding wire into the 4 roller drive, hold the end of the wire firmly to avoid injuries caused by the wire springing back. CAUTION!
