WARNING
Health risk caused by inhaling harmful dust
The device contains harmful dust that can collect on surfaces and penetrate the ambient air as of the first use. This can damage the respiratory tract when
inhaled.
► Check and wear your personal protective equipment.
► Only use the device in rooms with sufficient ventilation.
► The provided fume extraction system must be used when operating the device.
► Immediately remove dust deposits from the environment with a dust class H industrial vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth.
► If possible, keep the air slide closed and only open it briefly.
► Do not use the device with the removed shielding gas and suction nozzle.
WARNING
Electric shock due to touching live components
Touching live equipment parts may result in potentially fatal electric shocks.
► Only hold and move the welding torch using the intended handle piece.
WARNING
Electric shock due to damaged or improperly installed components
Damaged or improperly installed components may result in potentially fatal electric shocks. Components include: welding torch, cable assembly, spare parts,
wear parts.
► Inspect all components prior to each use and check that all connections are duly installed and undamaged.
► Clean soiled components immediately.
► Replace damaged components immediately.
► Damaged, deformed or worn components must only be replaced by an electrician who has been trained by ABICOR BINZEL.
4.1

Preparing the welding torch for cable assembly installation

1 Switch off the power source and pull out the mains plug.
4.1.1

Shortening the tungsten electrode

The electrode type is set by EN ISO 6848.
4.1.2

Sharpening the tungsten electrode, Fig. 4

Sharpening the tungsten electrode depends on wear and must therefore be
carried out when required.
► When sharpening the tungsten electrode, use a sharpening device with
the following properties:
— Diamond disc
4.2 Equipping the welding torch, Fig. 6
CAUTION
Risk of injury from the sharpened electrode
The sharpened electrode is pointed and can cause puncture injuries.
► Keep your hands away from the electrode tip.
► Hold the electrode tip away from your body.
► Wear the correct protective gloves.
1 Push the gas diffuser into the torch body.
2 Slide the tungsten electrode into the gas diffuser and screw on the back
cap. An electrode holder can also be used instead of the gas diffuser.
4.3

Connecting the cable assembly, Fig. 1

1 Plug the cable assembly connector into the connection bush and secure
it with a connection nut.
2 Mount the shielding gas and control lead connectors.
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.
EN - 34
2 Close off the gas supply.
The maximum electrode length depends on the wear parts in use.
— Point sharpened longitudinally through the centre axis
— Automatic regulation of the tungsten electrode drive by gravity
— Can be set for all electrode diameters
— Offers continuous angle adjustment
3 Unscrew the combined shielding gas and suction nozzle.
► Recommendation: use ABICOR BINZEL coolants from the BTC range.
► To prevent damage to the welding device, do not use deionised or
demineralised water.
► Bleed the coolant circuit upon commissioning and when replacing the
cable assembly.
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.
