Design and function MMA welding MMA welding CAUTION Risk of crushing and burns! When changing stick electrodes there is a risk of crushing and burns! • Wear appropriate and dry protective gloves. • Use an insulated pair of tongs to remove the used stick electrode or to move welded work- pieces.
Design and function Air arc gouging Air arc gouging During gouging, an arc burns between a carbon electrode and the workpiece, heating the workpiece until it is molten. At the same time, the molten metal is blown out with compressed air. Special electrode hol- ders with a compressed-air connection and carbon electrodes are required for gouging.
Maintenance, care and disposal General Maintenance, care and disposal General DANGER Risk of injury due to electrical voltage after switching off! Working on an open machine can lead to fatal injuries! Capacitors are loaded with electrical voltage during operation. Voltage remains present for up to four minutes after the mains plug is removed.
A periodic test according to IEC 60974-4 "Periodic inspection and test" has to be carried out. In addition to the regulations on testing given here, the relevant local laws and regulations must also be observed.
