in the event of leakage.
-
Ensure there is a sufficient supply of fresh air with a ventilation flow rate of at least
20 m³ per hour.
- Please observe the safety and maintenance information for the shielding gas cylin-
der or the main gas supply.
- When no welding is taking place, close the valve of the shielding gas cylinder or the
main gas supply.
