Hazards due to improper usage! 

The machine has been constructed to the state of the art and any regulations and 

standards applicable for use in industry and trade. It may only be used for the welding 

procedures indicated at the rating plate. Hazards may arise for persons, animals and 

material objects if the equipment is not used correctly. No liability is accepted for any 

damages arising from improper usage! 

•  The equipment must only be used in line with its designated purpose and by trained or 

expert personnel! 

•  Do not improperly modify or convert the equipment! 

 

3.1  Applications 

Arc welding machine for GMAW welding with TIG welding and lift arc (touch starting) or MMA welding as 

secondary process. It may be possible to expand the functionality by using accessories (see the 

documentation in the relevant chapter). 

 

3.2  Software version 

These instructions apply to the following software version: 
0.5.9.0 

The software version of the machine control can be displayed in the machine configuration menu 

(menu Srv)

 > see 5.5 chapter

 

3.3  Documents which also apply 

3.3.1  Warranty 

For more information refer to the "Warranty registration" brochure supplied and our information regarding 

warranty, maintenance and testing at
