Cleaning the Cleaning Head Installing the Cleaning Head NOTE! Producing the compressed air supply will move the cleaning motor into its top position. This will make it easier to install the clean- ing head. CAUTION! Risk of crushing. Only open the motor cover when the cleaning motor is in its top position (when 6 bar the cleaning motor is no longer moving).

NOTE! Always screw the Teach-gauge tightly up to the torch body. NOTE! The diagram opposite shows the end position with Teach-gauge. Use this position as the starting point for the program sequence when cleaning the welding torch. NOTE! Ensure that the torch body including the Teach-gauge is positioned correctly on the cleaning head—observe the fol- lowing information for this purpose.

NOTE! Ensure that the Teach-gauge ▶ is positioned entirely on the cleaning head ▶ is positioned precisely in the center of the cleaning head NOTE! The machine zero position, which is determined using the Teach-gauge, should also be used as the machine zero position with installed gas nozzle when pro- graming the robot.
