6.5 Setting the shielding gas quantity
1
Connect shielding gas cylinder to the current source.
2
Set the gas quantity on the pressure reducer of the shielding gas cylinder.
6.6 Connecting the coolant
NOTE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas depend on the welding task and the gas
nozzle geometry.
• 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.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
WARNING
Risk of burns
The welding torches overheat if the coolant level is too low.
• Wear the correct protective gloves.
• Check the coolant level at regular intervals.
NOTE
• 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 impair the service life of your welding torch.
• We recommend the use of
ABICOR BINZEL
series BTC coolant for liquid-cooled
welding torches.
Please consult the applicable safety data sheet.
