For your safety Safety instructions CAUTION Smoke and gases! Smoke and gases may lead to shortness of breath and poisoning! The ultraviolet radia- tion of the arc may also convert solvent vapours (chlorinated hydrocarbon) into poiso- nous phosgene. • Ensure sufficient fresh air! •...
For your safety Transport and installation CAUTION Obligations of the operator! The respective national directives and laws must be complied with when operating the machine! • Implementation of national legislation relating to framework directive 89/391/EEC on the int- roduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work and associated individual guidelines.
Page 11
For your safety Transport and installation CAUTION Risk of accidents due to supply lines! During transport, attached supply lines (mains leads, control cables, etc.) can cause risks, e.g. by causing connected machines to tip over and injure persons! • Disconnect all supply lines before transport! Risk of tipping! There is a risk of the machine tipping over and injuring persons or being damaged itself during movement and set up.

XQ MIG/MAG device series and the Drive XQ wire feeder. The welding torch has the function of process switching instead of JOB switching. When the RD3 X function torch is connected to another EWM device series with multi-matrix, the welding torch switches to compatibility mode and the functions are restricted to RD2 X.

Design and function Function specification 5.2.4.1 Welding data display The display shows the currently selected welding parameter and the corresponding parameter value. When the welding machine is switched on, the display shows the nominal welding current set point set point set by the control unit. During the up/down operation, the corresponding parameter value is shown on the display when the para- meter is changed.
Design and function Function specification 5.2.5.1 Welding data display The display shows the currently selected welding parameter and the corresponding parameter value. When the welding machine is switched on, the display shows the nominal welding current set point set point set by the control unit. During the up/down operation, the corresponding parameter value is shown on the display when the para- meter is changed.
Design and function Function specification 5.2.5.2 Programs, setting operating points Distinction is made between main and program level during the parameter setting. After switching on the welding machine, you are always at the main level. Process switching, program number, wire feed speed, dynamics (hard to soft arc), welding current and welding voltage are specified here.
