Safety measures
at the installation
location and dur -
ing transport
A device toppling over could easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid, level surface
such that it remains stable
- The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
- Observe relevant national and international regulations.
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment is always
clean and clearly laid out.
Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the degree of protection shown on
the rating plate.
When setting up the device, ensure there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.)
to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines and ac -
cident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regarding the risks aris -
ing during transport.
Do not lift or transport operational devices. Switch off devices before transport or lifting.
Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the following
components:
- Wirefeeder
- Wirespool
- Shielding gas cylinder
After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for damage before
commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service technicians before com -
missioning the device.
Safety measures
in normal opera -
tion
Only operate the device when all safety devices are fully functional. If the safety devices
are not fully functional, there is a risk of
- injury or death to the operator or a third party
- damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator
- inefficient operation of the device
Any safety devices that are not functioning properly must be repaired before switching on
the device.
Never bypass or disable safety devices.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered.
Check the device at least once a week for obvious damage and proper functioning of safety
devices.
Always fasten the shielding gas cylinder securely and remove it beforehand if the device
is to be transported by crane.
Only the manufacturer's original coolant is suitable for use with our devices due to its prop -
erties (electrical conductibility, anti-freeze agent, material compatibility, flammability, etc.).
Only use suitable original coolant from the manufacturer.
Do not mix the manufacturer's original coolant with other coolants.
Only connect the manufacturer's system components to the cooling circuit.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from use of other system com -
ponents or a different coolant. In addition, all warranty claims will be forfeited.
