Welding process
Before you start welding, you must check your protective equipment
and the surrounding area for possible dangers as outlined in
chapter 6.
Make sure that all the parameters required such as welding current,
wire feeding etc. are set on the power unit for MIG / MAG welding
and according to the requirements of your welding task.
For instructions and recommendations on the welding process itself (technique,
materials, heat...) please consult the relevant literature. This information is not to
be found in these operating instructions.
The torch neck must not be used as a chipping hammer!
