Design and function Configure welding torch 5.1.9 LED lighting Integrated LED lighting makes welding in corners and dark areas of the working area easier. The lighting switches on independently of the burner button when the burner is moved. After approx. 10 seconds wit- hout movement, the light switches off automatically.
Design and function Configure welding torch Equipment damage and impurities of the welding result due to worn O-rings. Worn O-rings have a negative impact on the torch cooling. Insufficient cooling causes damage to the welding torch. Gas losses and the penetration of atmospheric oxygen can also occur and can adversely affect the welding result.
