AUT-WIG
7.1 Welding process
1 Open the shielding gas cylinder.
2 Start the welding process.
3 After ignition, hold the welding arc tight to the edge of the material to be welded until a
molten pool is formed.
4 Move the torch uniformly over the entire seam length.
5 Stop the welding process.
6 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.
8 Putting out of operation
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.
9 Maintenance and cleaning
Regular and lasting maintenance and cleaning are the prerequisite of a long life and trouble-
free operation.
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 coolant supply.
• Disconnect the coolant supply and return hoses.
• Close off the compressed air supply.
