5 Design and function
5.1 General
Risk of burns and electric shock on the welding torch!
Welding torch (torch neck or torch head) and coolant (water-cooled version) heat up
strongly during the welding process. During assembly work, you may come into touch
with electrical voltage or hot components.
• Wear proper protective equipment!
• Switch off the power source or torch cooling and allow the welding torch to cool!
Risk of injury from electrical voltage!
Contact with live parts, e.g. power connections, can be fatal!
• Observe the safety information on the first pages of the operating instructions!
• Commissioning must be carried out by persons who are specifically trained in handling
power sources!
• Connect connection or power cables while the machine is switched off!
Accessory components and the power source itself can be damaged by incorrect connection!
• Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the
machine is switched off.
• Comprehensive descriptions can be found in the operating instructions for the relevant ac-
cessory components.
• Accessory components are detected automatically after the power source is switched on.
Protective dust caps protect the connection sockets and therefore the machine against dirt and
damage.
• The protective dust cap must be fitted if there is no accessory component being operated on
that connection.
• The cap must be replaced if faulty or if lost!
Machine damage due to incompletely assembled welding torch!
Incomplete assembly may destroy the welding torch.
• Always assemble the welding torch completely.
After each opening of the welding torch, using the "gas test" "gas flush" function and increased
flow rates, remove moisture, atmospheric oxygen and any impurities from the welding torch.
Read and observe the documentation to all system and accessory components!
