Danger from incorrect operation and work that is not carried out properly.
This can result in severe personal 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, especially the safety rules.
Danger due to machines starting automatically.
This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.
In addition to these Operating Instructions, observe the safety rules of the robot manufacturer and welding system manufacturer. Before entering the robot work area, ensure that all protective measures in the robot work area are in place and remain in place for the duration of the access.
Danger due to moving mechanical parts, flying debris (chips, etc.), and compressed air/parting agent mixture discharged from the parting-agent injection nozzle.
This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.
Before carrying out any work, disconnect the compressed air and power supply from the cleaning device and the associated system components and make sure that the compressed air and power supply remain disconnected until all work has been completed.
Before carrying out any work, ensure that the cleaning device is depressurized - the necessary steps for this can be found in the following chapter Ensuring that the cleaning device is depressurized from page (→).
If the cleaning device is supplied with voltage and/or compressed air, there is a risk of serious injury from: rotating cleaning cutter, cleaning motor moving up/down, gas nozzle clamping device moving out/in, activated wire cutter, flying parts (chips, etc.), compressed air/parting agent mixture escaping from the parting-agent injection nozzle.
This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.
If work is required on the cleaning device while the cleaning device is being supplied with voltage and/or compressed air, take the following safety measures.
Keep your body, especially hands, face and hair, as well as objects and all items of clothing away from the cleaning cutter, cleaning motor, lifting device, gas nozzle clamping device, wire cutter, and parting-agent injection nozzle.
Wear hearing protection.
Wear protective goggles with side protection.
