1.3 Operation Safety
Please read and follow these operational safety instructions when installing, operating and
servicing the welding gun.
Welding arc and welding spatter
Welding arc can harm unprotected eyes. Also be aware of the risks to other people in and
around the working area, as reected arc and arc ash presents a serious risk. Welding arc
and hot spatter will burn unprotected skin. Use specied, good quality safety equipment and
protective clothing.
Danger for re or explosion
Observe the local re safety regulations and complete an adequate risk assessment, prior to
commencing work. Remove ammable or explosive materials from welding place. Always
ensure there is adequate re-ghting equipment available. Be aware of welding hazards eg.
the danger of re or explosion when welding container type work pieces or enclosed spaces.
NOTE! Fire can start from welding sparks and hot spatter, even several hours after the welding
work has nished!
Mains voltage
Never take the welding machine inside a work piece (eg. container or truck). Do not place
the welding machine on a wet surface. Always check cables before operating the machine.
Change defective cables without delay. Defective cables may cause an injury or increase
the risk of re. Connection cables and hoses should be protected from damage from heavy
objects, sharp edges or hot work pieces.
Welding power circuit
Protect yourself by using proper protective clothing suitable for the welding application
and environment. Do not work in wet or damp conditions. Do not wear wet clothing when
welding. Never use equipment with defective or damaged cables. Unless in a designed gun
holder, do not place the welding gun on the welding machine if the machine is live. Never
point the welding gun towards your face or that of others.
Welding fumes
Ensure there is sucient ventilation during welding. Observe safety recommendations and
precautions when welding metals which contain lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium
and other harmful substances. Ensure you use appropriate protective respiratory equipment
suitable for the welding application, environment and materials being welded.

3. USE AND MAINTENANCE
The amount of use and working environment should be taken into consideration when
planning the maintenance of MIG guns. Correct use and preventive maintenance will help
ensure trouble-free operation and excellent gun life.
Due to high temperatures and wear, the welding end of the MIG gun requires the most
frequent maintenance. The condition of other parts, including the gun cable, should also be
checked for wear or damage.
When tting new liners, lay the gun straight on a at surface.
The gun is equipped at the factory with a spiral liner for welding normal steel wire. Before
connecting the gun to the welding machine, make sure that the liner type meets the
recommendations for the welding ller wire to be used.
