NOTICE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas depends on the welding task
and the gas nozzle geometry.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by
impurities, the cylinder valve must be opened briefly, before connecting
the cylinder. This will blow out any impurities that may be present.
CAUTION
Risk of injury
Puncture or cut-in wounds may be caused by the wire electrode.
• Keep your hands out of the danger zone.
• Wear the correct protective gloves.
NOTICE
• Each time the wire is replaced, make sure that the start of the wire is free
of burrs and not bent.
