6.4 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.
6.5 Connecting the coolant
NOTICE
• The welding performance is affected by the selection of the tungsten electrode and by
wear. A smooth, groove-free sharpened end of the tungsten electrode has a positive effect
on the welding result.
NOTICE
• Please observe the operating instructions of the power supply manufacturer.
NOTICE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas 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.
WARNING
Risk of burns
The cable assembly overheats if the coolant level is too low.
• Wear the correct protective gloves.
• Check the coolant level at regular intervals.
