The safe handling of gas cylinders Pay attention to fire and safety regulations in force at the welding site. The R7000 uses argon gas when TIG welding with the external TIG300 TIG unit. • Remove all flammable or combustible materials from the welding area Argon is an inert gas and can displace oxygen in the atmosphere leading to and the immediate vicinity.
Due to the high efficiency and power factor these units provide energy and cost saving solu- tions. The R7000 is capable of TIG welding with the addition of an external TIG unit from the Newarc range. 2.2 - Technical Specification...

Note! All Electric shocks are potentially fatal, switch off the machine and unplug from the mains supply be- fore carrying out any maintenance work. It is very important that the R7000 is regularly maintained. The amount of use and the working environment must be taken into account when scheduling the maintenance periods.
