NOTE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas quantity depends on the
welding task and the gas nozzle geometry.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by
impurities, the cylinder valve must be opened briefly, before connecting
the cylinder. This will blow out any impurities that may be present.
