WARNING
Arc eye
The arc produced by welding can damage the eyes.
• Check and wear your personal protective equipment.
NOTICE
• Only qualified personnel are permitted to perform work on the device or system.
• Ensure that all required parameters have been set.
7.1 Welding process
1 Open the shielding gas cylinder and start the welding process.
2 After ignition, hold the welding arc tight to the edge of the material to be welded until a
molten pool is formed.
3 Move the torch uniformly over the entire seam length.
4 Stop the welding process.
5 After switching off, hold the torch over the end position for a few seconds. The continued
flow of gas shields the weld pool, and as the weld pool solidifies, the result is a bond free
from defects.
8 Putting out of operation
NOTICE
• When decommissioning the system, ensure that the procedures for switching off the
welding components are observed.
1 Wait until the shielding gas flow has subsided.
2 Close the shut-off-valve for the gas supply.
3 Switch off the power supply.
