NOTICE
• The type and amount of shielding gas used depend on the welding task
and the gas nozzle geometry.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by
impurities, briefly open the cylinder valve before connecting the cylinder.
This will expel any impurities that may be present.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
NOTICE
• Each time the wire is changed, make sure that the start of the wire is free
of burrs.
DANGER
Shortness of breath and poisoning caused by inhaling
phosgene gas
When welding workpieces that have been degreased with chlorinated
solvents, phosgene gas is formed.
• Do not inhale fumes and vapours.
• Ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air.
• Rinse workpieces with clean water prior to welding.
• Do not place degreasing baths containing chlorine in the vicinity of the
welding area.
