Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be allowed to cool
down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion
- observe relevant national and international regulations.
Power sources for work in areas with increased electric risk (e.g. near boilers) must carry
the "Safety" sign. However, the power source must not be located in such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before disconnecting cool-
ant flow or return lines.
Observe the information on the coolant safety data sheet when handling coolant. The cool-
ant safety data sheet may be obtained from your service centre or downloaded from the
manufacturer's website.
Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when transporting
devices by crane.

If the wirefeeder is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use a suitable, insu-
lated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device has a carrying strap or handle, this is intended solely for carrying by hand. The
carrying strap is not to be used if transporting with a crane, counterbalanced lift truck or
other mechanical hoist.
All lifting accessories (straps, handles, chains, etc.) used in connection with the device or
its components must be tested regularly (e.g. for mechanical damage, corrosion or chang-
es caused by other environmental factors).
The testing interval and scope of testing must comply with applicable national standards
and directives as a minimum.
Odourless and colourless shielding gas may escape unnoticed if an adapter is used for the
shielding gas connection. Prior to assembly, seal the device-side thread of the adapter for
the shielding gas connection using suitable Teflon tape.
Informal safety
The operating instructions must always be at hand wherever the LaserHybrid head is being
measures
used.
In addition to the operating instructions, any generally applicable and local regulations re-
garding accident prevention and environmental protection must be provided and followed.
All safety and danger notices on the LaserHybrid head must be kept in a legible condition.
Safety measures
The cell for the LaserHybrid welding process must meet the following requirements:
at the installation
-
location
-
-
A device that topples over can easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid, level sur-
face.
-
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
-
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment is always
clean and clearly laid out.

Hook chains or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the load-carrying equip-
ment.
Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
Remove gas cylinder and wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
be sealed off from adjoining rooms to make it lightproof
be screened with min. 1 mm thick steel plate and/or approved laser protective glass
to prevent any UV or laser radiation escaping
both the laser welding process and the arc welding process must stop automatically
as soon as the cell is opened
The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
Observe relevant national and international regulations.
