EMF measures Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health: effects on the health of others in the vicinity, e.g. wearers of pacemakers and hear- ing aids wearers of pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before approaching the device or any welding that is in progress for safety reasons, keep distances between the welding cables and the welder's head/torso as large as possible...
Commissioning, It is impossible to guarantee that bought-in parts are designed and manufactured to meet maintenance and the demands made of them, or that they satisfy safety requirements. repair Use only original spare and wearing parts (also applies to standard parts). Do not carry out any modifications, alterations, etc.
General Principle The cleaning device is used to automatic- ally clean MIG/MAG welding torches. This cleaning device allows you to thoroughly clean the inside and front of the gas nozzle on a wide range of welding torch shapes. The result is a significant increase in the service life of wearing parts.
