WARNING
Risk of injury
Serious injuries may be caused by parts swirling around.
• When cleaning the wire guide with compressed air, always wear
personal protective clothing, in particular safety goggles.
CAUTION
Material damage
Impurities destroy the inside of the welding torch.
• Never blow compressed air into the nozzles from the front.
NOTICE
• Replace the centring ceramics as soon as deposits become visible on the
surface. Deposits may result in high-voltage flashovers that destroy the
torch body.
