Danger From Escaping Shielding Gas; Safety Measures At The Installation Location And During Transport; Safety Measures In Normal Operation - Fronius TransTig 1750 Puls Operating Instructions Manual

Danger from es-
Risk of suffocation from the uncontrolled escape of shielding gas
caping shielding
Shielding gas is colourless and odourless and, in the event of a leak, can displace the ox-
gas
ygen in the ambient air.

Safety measures
A device toppling over could easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid, level surface
at the installation such that it remains stable
location and dur- -
ing transport
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
-
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment is always
clean and clearly laid out.
Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the degree of protection shown on
the rating plate.
When setting up the device, ensure there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.)
to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines and ac-
cident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regarding the risks aris-
ing during transport.
Do not lift or transport operational devices. Switch off devices before transport or lifting.
Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the following
components:

After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for damage before
commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service technicians before com-
missioning the device.
Safety measures Only operate the device when all safety devices are fully functional. If the safety devices
in normal opera-
are not fully functional, there is a risk of

Any safety devices that are not functioning properly must be repaired before switching on
the device.
Never bypass or disable safety devices.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered.
Check the device at least once a week for obvious damage and proper functioning of safety
devices.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air with a ventilation rate of at least 20 m³/hour.
Observe safety and maintenance instructions on the shielding gas cylinder or the main
gas supply.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is taking place.
Check the shielding gas cylinder or main gas supply for uncontrolled gas leakage be-
fore every start-up.
The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
Observe relevant national and international regulations.
