* When used with welding fume extraction systems of the
xFUME series.
The degree to which welding fumes are captured during torch-
integrated extraction depends on many factors, such as the
position of the suction nozzle, the welding geometry, and the
rate of smoke emission during the welding process. Under
optimal conditions, over 95% of the welding fumes can be
captured in accordance with ISO 21904-3.

4.3 Connecting the cable assembly, Fig. A
1
At the wire feeder: Insert the central plug in the connecting
socket.
2
At the wire feeder: Secure the cable assembly with the
connection nut.

Coolant: Connect the flow line (blue) and return line (red).
► Check the coolant’s minimum fill level.
Recommendation: Use ABICOR BINZEL coolant from the
BTC range.
► To prevent damage to the welding machine, do not use
deionized or demineralized water.
► Purge the coolant circuit the first time the equipment is
commissioned and with every cable assembly replacement.
