3.3 Connecting the Welding Gun to the Power Unit
Switch off the power unit. In this way, you avoid any risk of
electrical shock.
‹ Plug the welding cable of the welding gun into the socket of the power unit.
‹ Press-in the plug and twist firmly clockwise.
The connection is not secured against working itself loose!
Check the plug connections regularly to ensure that they are
properly locked. In case of loose connection, heat may build up
in the plug and may destroy the entire plug connection.
‹ Plug the control cable in the connector of the power unit.
‹ Twist the retaining nut of the control cable connector clockwise to secure the
connection.
The welding gun cables must not be coiled during welding.
Coiled cables work as a coil and may negatively affect the
welding result. Before welding, lay out the cables lengthwise.
‹ Fix the cables. Strong magnetic fields occur during welding which may cause a
movement of the cables. This may cause a slackness of the connections.
