5.1.2 Lifting by crane
WARNING
Risk of injury during lifting by crane
!
When lifting the machine by crane, persons may be severely injured by falling machines
or mount-on components.
• Simultaneous lifting
of system components such as power source
,
wire
feeder or cooling unit without suitable crane components is not allo-
wed. Each system component has to be lifted separately!
• Remove any supply leads and accessories before lifting by crane
(e.g.
hose package
,
wire spool
,
shielding gas cylinder
,
toolbox, wire feeder
,
remote control,etc.)!)
• Properly close and lock all casing covers and protective caps
before lif-
ting by crane!
• Use the correct number of hoisting equipment of the right size in the
correct position! Observe craning principle (see figure)!
• For machines with lifting eyes: always lift all lifting eyes simultaneously
!
• When using retrofitted craning frames etc.: always use at least two lif-
ting points positioned as far apart as possible – observe option
description.
• Avoid any jerky movements!
• Ensure that the load is
distributed evenly! • Use chain hoists and
chain slings of the same length only!
• Stay outside the danger zone underneath the machine!
• Observe the regulations regarding occupational safety and accident
prevention for the respective country.
Craning principle
Risk of injury due to unsuitable lifting eye!
In case of improper use of lifting eyes or the use of unsuitable lifting eyes, persons can
be seriously damaged by falling equipment or add-on components!
• The lifting eye must be completely screwed in!
• The lifting eye must be positioned flat onto and in full contact with the supporting surfaces!
• Check that the lifting eyes are securely fastened before use and check for any damage
(corrosion, deformation)!
• Do not use or screw in damaged lifting eyes!
• Avoid lateral loading of the lifting eyes!
5.1.3 Machine cooling
Insufficient ventilation results in a reduction in performance and equipment damage.
• Observe the ambient conditions!
• Keep the cooling air inlet and outlet clear!
• Observe the minimum distance of 0.5 m from obstacles!
5.1.4 Workpiece lead, general
CAUTION
Risk of burning due to incorrect welding current connection!
If the welding current plugs (machine connections) are not locked or if the workpiece
connection is contaminated (paint, corrosion), these connections and leads can heat up
and cause burns when touched!
• Check welding current connections on a daily basis and lock by turning to the right when
necessary.
• Clean workpiece connection thoroughly and secure properly. Do not use structural parts of
the workpiece as welding current return lead!
