WARNING

Risk of injury from electrical voltage!

Contact with live parts, e.g. power connections, can be fatal!

• Observe the safety information on the first pages of the operating instructions!

• Commissioning must be carried out by persons who are specifically trained in handling

power sources!

• Connect connection or power cables while the machine is switched off!

CAUTION

Risk from electrical current!

If welding is carried out alternately using different methods and if a welding torch and

an electrode holder remain connected to the machine, the open-circuit/welding voltage

is applied simultaneously on all cables.

• The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insulated

surface before starting work and during breaks.

Read and observe the documentation to all system and accessory components!

5.1 Transport and installation

5.1.1 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 allowed. 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 lifting by crane!

• Use the correct number of hoisting equipment of the right size in the correct position! Ob-

serve craning principle

> see 5.1.2 chapter

• Devices with lifting eyes: Always lift all lifting eyes simultaneously!

• Devices with pallet bottom (feet): Pull the straps through the openings of the feet (hooking

hoisting equipment in the openings is not sufficient).

• When using retrofitted craning frames etc.: always use at least two lifting 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.
