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 replaced, ensure that the start of the wire is free of burrs and not
bent.
