9 Maintenance and cleaning
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.
NOTICE
• Please make sure that the shutdown procedures for all components
mounted in the welding system are strictly observed before putting out of
operation begins.
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.
Regular and lasting maintenance and cleaning are the prerequisite of a long
life and a perfect function.
DANGER
Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up.
The following instructions must be adhered to for the entire duration of
maintenance, servicing, mounting, dismounting and repair work:
• Switch off the power source.
• Close the gas supply.
• Close off the compressed air supply.
• Disconnect all electrical connections.
• Switch off the entire welding system.
