NOTICE
• Ensure that the coolant supply and return hoses have been correctly
installed. Coolant supply = blue, coolant return = red.
• Do not use deionised or demineralised water as coolant or for leak
and flow tests.
This may shorten your welding torch’s service life.
• For liquid-cooled welding torches, we recommend using
ABICOR BINZEL
BTC coolant.
Please consult the applicable safety data sheet.
• The cooling system must be purged of any air each time the device is
commissioned and after every cable assembly change: disconnect the
coolant return hose from the coolant recirculator and hold it over a
collection receptacle. Close the opening on the coolant return hose. Then
re-open it by abruptly releasing it. Repeat until the coolant flows into the
collection receptacle continuously and without air bubbles.
NOTICE
• The type and amount of the shielding gas quantity 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.
