6.5 Setting the shielding gas volume
NOTICE
• The type and amount of shielding gas used depend on the welding task and the gas
nozzle geometry.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by impurities, briefly open
the cylinder valve before connecting the cylinder. This will expel any impurities that may
be present.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
1 Connect the shielding gas cylinder to the wire feeder.
2 Set the gas quantity on the shielding gas cylinder's pressure reducer.
6.6 Introducing the wire

• Each time the wire is replaced, ensure that the start of the wire is free of burrs and not
bent.
1 Insert the wire in the wire feeder as specified by the manufacturer.
2 Press the 'zero-current wire feed' button on the wire feeder.
