4.1 Preparing the welding torch for cable assembly installation
1 Switch off the power source and unplug the power plug.
2 Close off the gas supply.
4.2 Equipping the welding torch
The welding torches are fully equipped upon delivery. Information about
replacing the wear parts and the wire guide can be found here:
4.3 Connecting the cable assembly, Fig. 1
1 Plug the cable assembly connector into the connecting socket and secure
it with a connection nut.
2 Mount the shielding gas and control lead connector.
3 Connect the coolant supply (blue) and coolant return (red).
4 Check the coolant's minimum fill level.
4.4 Bleeding the coolant circuit, Fig. 2
1 Place the collection receptacle under the connection for the coolant
return (red).
2 Disconnect the coolant return hose from the cooling unit and hold it over
collection receptacle.
3 Seal the coolant return hose's opening.
4.5 Connecting the extraction hose
► Connect the extraction hose of the extraction system to the suction
connector on the cable assembly.
4.6 Connecting the shielding gas and setting the gas volume
1 Select the appropriate shielding gas for the welding task.
2 Briefly open the gas supply valve and close it again to blow out any
contamination at the connector.
4.7 Feed in wire
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to entering the device's work area

2 Check, clean, and if necessary, replace spare and wear parts.
3 Check, clean, and if necessary, replace the cable assembly.
3 Switch off the coolant circuit.
 7 Maintenance and cleaning on page EN-33
► Recommendation: Use ABICOR BINZEL coolant from the BTC range.
► To prevent damage to the welding machine, do not use deionized or
demineralized water.
► Purge the coolant circuit the first time the equipment is commissioned and
with every cable assembly replacement.
4 Abruptly open then seal the coolant return hose's opening several times
until the coolant flows into the collection receptacle continuously and
without air bubbles.
5 Reconnect the coolant return hose to the cooling unit.
3 Connect the shielding gas to the welding device as per the
manufacturer's instructions.
4 Adjust the shielding gas volume to the gas nozzle used and the welding
task and save the setting.
3 Press the <zero-current wire feed> trigger on the wire feeder until wire
emerges from the contact tip.
4 Cut off any protruding wire with the side-cutting pliers.
3 Set the welding parameters.
