6 Putting into operation
6.4 Setting the shielding gas volume
NOTICE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas quantity 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.
1 Connect shielding gas cylinder to the wire feeding system.
2 Set the gas quantity on the pressure reducer of the shielding gas cylinder.
6.5 Connecting the coolant
WARNING
Risk of burns
The cable assembly overheats if the coolant level is too low.
• Wear the correct protective gloves.
• Check the coolant level at regular intervals.
NOTICE
• Make sure that the coolant supply and return have been installed properly. Coolant
supply = blue, Coolant return = red.
• Do not use any deionized or demineralized water as coolant or for tightness or flow tests.
This may impair the service life of your welding torch.
• We recommend the use of ABICOR BINZEL series BTC coolant for liquid-cooled
welding torches.
Consult the applicable safety data sheet.
