8 Putting out of operation
7.1 Welding process
1
Open the shielding gas cylinder.
2
Start the welding process.
3
After ignition, hold the welding arc tight to the edge of the material to be welded until a
molten pool is formed.
4
Move the torch uniformly over the entire seam length.
5
Stop the welding process.
6
After switching off, hold the torch over the end position for a few seconds. The continued
flow of gas shields the weld pool, and as the weld pool solidifies, the result is a bond free
from defects.
8 Putting out of operation
1
Wait until the shielding gas flow has subsided.
2
Close the shut-off-valve for the gas supply.
3
Switch off the power supply.
9 Maintenance and cleaning
Regular and lasting maintenance and cleaning are the prerequisite of a long life and trouble-
free operation.
NOTICE
• Please make sure that the shutdown procedures for all components mounted in the
welding system are strictly observed before putting out of operation begins.
DANGER
Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up
The following instructions must be adhered to for the entire duration of maintenance,
servicing, mounting, dismounting and repair work:
• Switch off the power source.
• Close the gas supply.
• Close off the coolant supply.
• Disconnect the coolant supply and return hoses.
• Close off the compressed air supply.
• Disconnect all electrical connections.
• Switch off the entire welding system.
