1 Disconnect the coolant return hose (1) from the coolant recirculator (3) and
hold it over a collection receptacle.
2 Seal the opening on the coolant return hose (1) then re-open it by abruptly
releasing it. Repeat this process until the coolant flows into the collecting
device continuously and without air bubbles.
3 Switch off the coolant recirculator (3) and reconnect the coolant return
hose (1).
NOTICE
• The type and amount of the gases to be used depends on the welding
task.
• Only pure inert gases or their mixtures may be used as plasma gas.

• To prevent impurities from clogging the shielding gas supply, the cylinder
valve must be briefly opened before the cylinder is connected. This will
blow out any impurities that may be present.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
• Small amounts of condensation may form in the shielding and plasma
gas hoses after long periods of non-use or following high temperature
fluctuations. Disassemble the wear parts and remove the residues by
actuating the gas test trigger until the shielding and plasma gases are
dry. Perform this procedure every day prior to starting work.
1 Connect the plasma, shielding and delivery gas.
2 Set the gas flow rate.
