8 Putting out of operation
7.1 Before switching on
1
Check that the cable assembly is firmly connected to the power source, gas
supply and coolant recirculator.
2
Ensure that all equipment parts are available and correctly positioned and
secured.
3
Check the function of the coolant recirculator and the flow.
4
Check that the flow of the two process gases is correct.
5
Check the setting for the maximum main current on the power source
display.
7.2 Welding process
1
Open the shielding gas cylinder and switch on the power source.
2
Ignite the pilot arc.
3
Hold the welding torch just above the workpiece, maintaining a distance of
about 5 mm between the workpiece and the gas nozzle.
4
Ignite the main arc and actuate the switching element on the handle.
5
Start the welding process.
8 Putting out of operation
1
Wait until the shielding gas post-flow time has passed.
2
Close the shut-off valve and the gas supply.
3
Switch off the power source.
4
Switch off the coolant recirculator.
NOTICE
• When putting the system out of operation, ensure that the procedures for
switching off each of the welding system components are observed.
• As liquid-cooled cable assemblies start to leak when they overheat, the
coolant recirculator should continue running for approx. 5 min. after
welding.
