Safety
Proper use The MIG/MAG manual welding torch is intended solely for MIG/MAG welding in manual ap-
plications.
Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not
be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
Proper use includes:
- Carefully reading and following all the instructions given in the operating instructions
- Performing all stipulated inspection and maintenance work.
Safety WARNING!
Danger due to incorrect operation and incorrectly performed work.
This can result in serious injury and damage to property.
► All the work and functions described in this document must only be carried out by
trained and qualified personnel.
► Read and understand this document.
► Read and understand all the Operating Instructions for the system components, espe-
cially the safety rules.
WARNING!
Danger from electric current and risk of injury from the emerging wire electrode.
This can result in serious injury and damage to property.
► Turn the power source mains switch to the "O" position.
► Disconnect the power source from the mains.
► Ensure that the power source remains disconnected from the mains until all work has
been completed.
WARNING!
Danger from electric current.
This can result in serious injury and damage to property.
► All cables, lines and hosepacks must be properly connected, undamaged, correctly in-
sulated and adequately dimensioned at all times.
CAUTION!
Risk of burns from hot welding torch components and hot coolant.
This can result in severe scalds.
► Before commencing any of the work described in these Operating Instructions, allow
all welding torch components and the coolant to cool to room temperature (+25 °C, +77
°F).

CAUTION!
Risk of damage due to operation without coolant.
This can result in serious damage to property.
► Never operate a water-cooled welding torch without coolant.
► Fronius shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such action. In addition, no
warranty claims will be entertained.
CAUTION!
Danger from coolant leakage.
This can result in serious injury and damage to property.
► Seal the coolant hoses on water-cooled welding torches with the plastic stoppers fitted
to them if the hoses are detached from the cooling unit or the wirefeeder.

General
General MIG/MAG welding torches are particularly robust and reliable, with an ergonomic grip, ball
joint and perfect weight distribution for fatigue-free working. The welding torches are avail-
able as gas-cooled and water-cooled versions in different power categories and sizes, so
no weld seam is out of reach. The welding torches can be used in an extremely wide range
of applications. They are ideal for manual batch and single-piece production as well as jobs
in the workshop.
Up/Down function The Up/Down torch has the following func-
tions:
- Changes the welding power in Syner-
gic operation via the Up/Down buttons
- Error display:
- all the LEDs light up red if there is
a system fault
- all the LEDs flash red if there is a
data communication fault
- Self-test during the run-up sequence:
- all LEDs light up briefly one after
the other
JobMaster func-
tion The JobMaster welding torch has the follo-
wing functions:
- The desired welding parameter on the
power source can be selected using
the arrow buttons
- The parameter can be changed using
the +/- buttons
- The display shows the current parame-
ter and value
