Cod.006.0001.1401 GL 222 DC 03/06/2015 v2.3 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. If a torch is installed or replaced while the unit is running, the circuit of the newly installed must be filled with coolant to avoid the risk of damage to the torch in the case of high voltage arc strikes without any liquid in the circuit.
Cod.006.0001.1401 GL 222 DC 03/06/2015 v2.3 ENGLISH WELDING PARAMETERS For a better understanding of the parameter functions described in the table, refer to the following diagram.
