Install shielding gas canisters upright and secure in accordance with the instructions, so that they cannot
topple. Keep shielding gas canisters away from welding current circuits and other electrical circuits. Never
touch a shielding gas canister with an electrode. Risk of explosion - never weld on a pressurised shielding gas
canister. Only ever use shielding gas canisters suitable for the respective application, and the associated
suitable accessories (controller, hoses and fittings, etc.). Only use shielding gas canisters and accessories
in good condition. If the valve of a shielding gas canister is opened, turn the face away from the outlet.
When welding is not taking place, close the valve of the shielding gas canister. If the shielding gas canister
is not connected, leave the cap on the valve of the shielding gas canister. Observe the manufacturer’s
information and the relevant national and international provisions for shielding gas canisters and accessory
parts.
4.11 Danger due to leaking shielding gas
Danger of suffocation due to uncontrolled escaping shielding gas. Shielding gas is colourless and odourless
and can displace oxygen in the ambient air if it escapes.
♦
Ensure a sufficient fresh air supply - air flow rate of min. 20 m³/h
♦
Observe the safety and warning information for the shielding gas canister or the main gas supply
♦
When welding is not taking place, close the valve of the shielding gas canister or the main gas supply.
♦
Check the shielding gas canister or main gas supply for any uncontrolled gas leaks before every start-up.
4.12 Safety measures at the installation site and during transport
A toppling shielding gas canister can mean a risk of death! The shielding gas canister
must be erected on a level and firm sub-surface. Particular regulations apply to areas at
risk of fire and explosion; observe the relevant national and international provisions.
Ensure, through internal instructions and checks, that the environment of the working area is always clean and
clear. Only erect and operate the device in accordance with the protection type cited on the rating plate. When
erecting the device, maintain a safety distance of 0.5 m so that the cooling air can enter and escape
unimpeded. When transporting the device, be sure to comply with the applicable national and regional
directives and accident prevention regulations. This applies in particular to directives pertaining to transport
and conveyance. Do not lift or transport devices in operation. Switch off devices before transporting or lifting!
Before start-up and after transport, always perform a visual inspection of the device for damage. Have visible
damage repaired by trained service personnel before start-up.
4.13 Safety measures in normal operation
Only operate the device if all safety equipment is fully functional. If the safety equipment is not fully
functional, there is a risk to
♦
the life and limb of the operator or third parties,
♦
the device and other property of the owner,
♦
efficient work with the device.
