1 Check that the cable assembly is firmly connected to the power source, gas
supply and coolant recirculator.
2 Ensure that all equipment parts are available and correctly positioned and
secured.
3 Check the function of the coolant recirculator and the flow.
4 Check that the flow of the two process gases is correct.
5 Check the setting for the maximum main current on the power source
display.
1 Open the shielding gas cylinder and switch on the power source.
2 Ignite the pilot arc.
The high-frequency ignition aid switches off automatically after igniting the arc.
3 Hold the welding torch just above the workpiece, maintaining a distance of
about 5 mm between the workpiece and the gas nozzle.
4 Ignite the main arc.
5 Start the welding process.
NOTICE
• When putting the system out of operation, ensure that the procedures for
switching off each of the welding system components are observed.
• As liquid-cooled cable assemblies start to leak when they overheat, the
coolant recirculator should continue running for approx. 5 min. after
welding.
1 Switch off the main current and pilot current.
2 Switch off the power source.
3 Close the shut-off valves for the gas supply.
4 Switch off the coolant recirculator.
