Safety WARNING!
Danger from incorrect operation and work that is not carried out properly.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
▶All the work and functions described in this document must only be carried
out by technically trained and qualified personnel.
▶Read and understand this document in full.
▶Read and understand all safety rules and user documentation for this device
and all system components.
WARNING!
Danger from electrical current.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
▶Before starting work, switch off all devices and components involved and dis-
connect them from the grid.
▶Secure all devices and components involved so they cannot be switched back
on.
WARNING!
Danger from electric current due to defective system components and incor-
rect operation.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
▶All cables, leads and hosepacks must always be securely connected, undam-
aged and correctly insulated.
▶Only use adequately dimensioned cables, leads and hosepacks.
WARNING!
Risk of coolant escaping.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
▶When disconnecting a welding torch from the cooling unit or other system
components, always seal the coolant hoses using the plastic seal attached to
the torch.
WARNING!
Danger due to hot system components and/or equipment.
Can result in serious burns or scalding.
▶Before starting work, allow all hot system components and/or equipment to
cool to +25°C/+77°F (e.g., coolant, water-cooled system components,
wirefeeder drive motor, etc.)
▶Wear suitable protective equipment (e.g., heat-resistant gloves, safety
goggles, etc.) if cooling down is not possible.

WARNING!
Danger from contact with toxic welding fumes.
This can result in serious personal injuries.
▶Always extract welding fumes.
▶Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air. Ensure that there is a ventilation rate
of at least 20 m³ (169070.1 US gi) per hour at all times.
▶If in doubt, a safety engineer should be commissioned to check the pollution
level in the workplace.
CAUTION!
Danger from operation without coolant.
This can result in damage to property.
▶Never operate water-cooled welding torches without coolant.
▶During welding, ensure that the coolant is circulating correctly – this will be
the case for Fronius cooling units if a regular return flow of coolant can be
seen in the coolant container of the cooling unit.
▶The manufacturer will not be liable for any damages due to non-observance
of the above mentioned points. All claims against the warranty are void.
General These MIG/MAG welding torches are exceptionally robust and reliable. The ergo-
nomic grip, ball joint and optimal weight distribution combine to enable fatigue-
free working. The welding torches are available 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 adapted to deal with a huge variety of different tasks,
and are ideal for use in manual series and one-off fabrication, as well as in the
workshop sector.
Proper use The MIG/MAG manual welding torch is intended solely for MIG/MAG welding in
manual applications.
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 in-
structions
-Performing all stipulated inspection and maintenance work.
