WARNING!

The right and left side doors of the wire feed unit must be closed when welding
and/or wire feeding occurs. Never weld or feed the wire without having closed both
doors!

2)

Electrical hazard! During

MIG/MAG welding

, the

MMA electrode

should be

removed from the electrode holder and must be kept away from the work piece and
any other current leading material. If possible, the electrode holder should be
removed from the welding unit OKC connector and the connector should be covered
with an isolating cap.

3)

 Electrical hazard! During

MMA welding

, the wire stick out should be cut to
