Risk of injury due to improper handling of shielding gas cylinders!
Improper handling and insufficient securing of shielding gas cylinders
can cause serious injuries!
•
Secure shielding gas cylinders using the standard fastening elements on
the unit (chain/belt)!
•
The fastening elements must tightly enclose the shielding gas cylinder!
•
Attach the fastening elements within the upper half of the shielding gas
cylinder!
•

Observe the instructions from the gas manufacturer and any relevant
regulations concerning the use of compressed air!
•
Avoid heating the shielding gas cylinder!
Faults in the shielding gas supply.
An unhindered shielding gas supply from the shielding gas cylinder to the welding
torch is a fundamental requirement for optimum welding results. In addition, a blocked
shielding gas supply may result in the welding torch being destroyed.
•
Always re-fit the yellow protective cap when not using the shielding gas connection.
•
All shielding gas connections must be gas tight.
Before connecting the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder, open the cylinder valve
briefly to expel any dirt.
