6.6 Setting the shielding gas quantity
1
Connect shielding gas cylinder to the wire feeding system.
2
Set the gas quantity on the pressure reducer of the shielding gas cylinder.
7 Operation
NOTE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas quantity depends on the
welding task and the gas nozzle geometry.
• 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.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
DANGER
Shortness of breath and poisoning caused by inhaling
phosgene gas
During the welding of work-pieces that have been degreased with chlorine-
containing solvents phosgene gas is formed.
• Do not inhale fumes and vapours.
• Ensure sufficient supply of fresh air.
• Rinse work-pieces with clear water prior to welding.
• Do not place degreasing baths containing chlorine in the vicinity of the
welding area.
DANGER
Risk of burns
During welding work spraying sparks, glowing work-pieces or hot slag can
produce flames.
• Check work area for fire.
• Make suitable fire extinguishing materials available at the workplace.
• Allow work-pieces to cool down after welding.
• Prior to performing welding work, fasten the ground clamp properly to
the work-piece or the welding table.
