Cod.006.0001.1841 GLW 302 01/09/2014 v2.0 ENGLISH Cooler activation ON= The cooler is always running when the power source is switched on. This mode is preferable for heavy duty and automatic welding procedures. OFF= The cooler is always disabled because an air-cooled torch is in use.
Cod.006.0001.1841 01/09/2014 v2.0 GLW 302 ENGLISH TORCH LOADING WARNING! Make sure the torch in use is correctly sized in relation to the welding current required and for the available and selected cooling type. This prevents the risk of burns to which the operator is potentially exposed, potential faults, and irreversible damage to the torch and the system.
