4.4 Purging the coolant circuit, Fig. B
1
Place the collection receptacle below the coolant return
connector (red).
2
Loosen the coolant return hose at the coolant
recirculator and hold it over a collection receptacle.
3
Seal the opening on the coolant return hose. Open and close
it multiple times. Repeat this process until the coolant flows
into the collection receptacle continuously and without air
bubbles.
4
Re-connect the return hose to the coolant recirculator.
4.5 Connecting the extraction hose
► Connect the extraction system’s extraction hose to the
suction connector on the cable assembly.
4.6 Connecting the shielding gas
1
Select the appropriate shielding gas for the welding task at
hand.
2
Briefly open the gas supply valve and close it again to blow
out any contamination at the connector.
3
Connect the shielding gas to the welding device according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
4
Adjust and set the amount of shielding gas for the gas nozzle
in use and welding task at hand.
4.7 Feed in wire
1
Cut off a small piece of the start of the wire with a cutter to
remove any burrs.
2
Insert the wire in the wire feeder according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
3
Press the button to switch off power to the wire feeder until the
wire exits the contact tip.
4
Cut off any protruding wire.
5 Operational controls on the handle
The button's two-step operating mode is available for the
standard welding torch.
Additional operating modes and handle modules depend on the
power source and must be purchased separately.
5.1 Button with two-step function, Fig. C
1
Press and hold button on handle = start welding.
2
Release the button = end welding.
5.2 Air regulator, Fig. C
3
Slide the air regulator forward = close, regular flow of
exhaust air at the suction nozzle.
4
Slide the air regulator back = open, reduced flow of exhaust
air at the suction nozzle.
6 Operation
1
Open the shielding gas cylinder, switch on the power source.
2
Set the welding parameters.
3
Start the welding process.
7 Decommissioning
1
Stop the welding process.
2
Wait until the shielding gas post-flow time has passed and
switch off the power supply.
3
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to entering the device’s work area
There is a risk of injury in the device’s work area.
► Check and wear your personal protective equipment.
► Ensure that no one is in this area when the device is in motion.
NOTICE
Material damage due to overheating
Liquid-cooled cable assemblies can leak if overheated.
► Allow the cooling unit to continue to run approximately 5 minutes after welding.
