NOTICE
• Do not change the hand lever position during the change procedure! This will result in
malfunctions. The open knife will cause the pre-tensioned welding wire to expand and to
become cut off when actuated next. These wire pieces will block the locking mechanism
and inevitably lead to failures of the entire system!
1 Insert the hand lever through the sealing lips of the clamp clip into the bore.
2 Move the hand lever forwards in the direction of the torch neck past the pressure point to the
stop and take out the torch neck.
3 Insert the torch neck into the changeable body up to the stop.
4 Push the hand lever toward the rear up to the stop and take it out, after locking it.
6.13 Automatic torch neck change
The ATS rotor torch change system is a peripheral device that performs the torch neck change
during the fully automatic welding process. Request order documentation on this or consult
special documents for the exact procedure.

DANGER
Shortness of breath and poisoning caused by inhaling phosgene gas
During the welding of work-pieces that have been degreased with chlorine-containing
solvents phosgene gas is formed.
• Do not inhale fumes and vapors.
• Ensure sufficient supply of fresh air.
• Rinse work-pieces with clear water prior to welding.
• Do not place degreasing baths containing chlorine in the vicinity of the welding area.
DANGER
Risk of burns
During welding work spraying sparks, glowing work-pieces or hot slag can produce flames.
• Check work area for seats of fire.
• Make suitable fire extinguishing materials available at the workplace.
• Allow work-pieces to cool down after welding.
• Prior to performing welding work, fasten the ground clamp properly to the work-piece or
the welding table.
