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.
NOTE
• The torch equipment depends on the material to be welded. The required amperage
determines the electrode diameter. Please see the current order documents for a correct
selection of the equipment parts.
• Instead of the electrode holder, you may also use a gas diffuser that produces a laminar
gas flow due to its design.
