Safety measures 
in normal opera-
tion

Commissioning, 
maintenance and 
repair

Only operate the device when all safety devices are fully functional. If the safe-
ty 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 func-
tioning 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 properties (electrical conductibility, anti-freeze agent, material com-
patibility, 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 components or a different coolant. In addition, all warranty claims will 
be forfeited.
Cooling Liquid FCL 10/20 does not ignite. The ethanol-based coolant can ig-
nite under certain conditions. Transport the coolant only in its original, sealed 
containers and keep well away from any sources of ignition.
Used coolant must be disposed of properly in accordance with the relevant na-
tional and international regulations. The coolant safety data sheet may be ob-
tained from your service centre or downloaded from the manufacturer's 
website.
Check the coolant level before starting to weld, while the system is still cool.

It is impossible to guarantee that bought-in parts are designed and manufac-
tured to meet the demands made of them, or that they satisfy safety require-
ments.
-

Use only original spare and wearing parts (also applies to standard parts).

-

Do not carry out any modifications, alterations, etc. to the device without 
the manufacturer's consent.

-

Components that are not in perfect condition must be replaced immedi-
ately.

-

When ordering, please give the exact designation and part number as 
shown in the spare parts list, as well as the serial number of your device.

The housing screws provide the ground conductor connection for earthing the 
housing parts.
Only use original housing screws in the correct number and tightened to the 
specified torque.
