4.5 Setting the shielding gas volume
NOTICE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas depends on the welding task and the gas
nozzle geometry.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by impurities, the cylinder
valve must be opened briefly, before connecting the cylinder. This will blow out any
impurities that may be present.
5 Operating elements
NOTICE
• Only qualified personnel are permitted to perform work on the device or system.
• Consult the documentation for the welding components.
Using a standard welding torch, the two-cycle mode of the trigger can be activated.
5.1 2-cycle function trigger
1 Press the Single function trigger on the handle and keep it depressed = welding is started.
2 Release the trigger = welding is stopped.
6 Operation
WARNING
Electric shock
Equipment parts are energized during welding.
• Do not reach into the danger zone.
1 Open the shielding gas cylinder.
2 Start the welding process.
3 After ignition, hold the welding arc near the surface of the material to be welded until a
molten pool is formed.
4 Move the torch uniformly over the entire seam length.
5 Stop the welding process.
6 After switching off, hold the torch over the end position for a few seconds. This allows the
molten pool to solidify without atmospheric interference under the protection of the gas
which is continuing to flow.
