Putting out of operation
NOTICE
Material damage due to overheating
Liquid-cooled cable assemblies may start leaking if overheated.
► Allow the cooling unit to continue running for approx. 5 min. after the welding process.
1 Stop the welding process.
2 Wait until the shielding gas post-flow time has passed and then switch off
the power source.

Maintenance and cleaning
WARNING
Risk of burns from hot surface
Welding torches become very hot during welding. They could cause major burns.
► Allow welding torches to cool down after welding.
► Wear the correct protective gloves.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to unexpected start
If the device is energised during maintenance, cleaning or disassembly work, parts can unexpectedly start up and cause injuries.
► Switch off the device.
► Close off all supply lines.
► Disconnect the electrical power supply.

Replacing wear parts, Fig. 6
NOTICE
Material damage through the use of unsuitable wear parts and mounting tools
The use of wear parts from other manufacturers and the improper installation of wear parts can cause material damage to the welding torch and impair work
results.
► Only use original ABICOR BINZEL wear parts.
► Use the ABICOR BINZEL switch key wrench to attach and remove wear parts.
► Ensure that the welding-torch-specific wear parts are correctly assigned.
► Ensure that the parts are installed in the correct order.
► Order data and part numbers for the equipment parts and wear parts
can be found in the current order documents.
The torch neck can be fitted with various wear parts depending on the
welding task.

Selecting and mounting the wire guide
1 Select the welding material in line with the welding task.
2 Mount the appropriate wire guide for the welding material.

Shortening and mounting the spiral liner, Fig. 5
1 Lay out the cable assembly straight.
2 At the torch neck: Remove wear parts.
3 On the central connector: Unscrew the nut.
4 On the central connector: Remove the spiral liner, replace with a new one
and insert into the wire conduit as far as it will go.
5 On the central connector: Hand-tighten the nut.
6 At the torch neck: Use side-cutting pliers to cut off any spiral liner excess
length flush with the outlet opening.
7.2.2
Mounting and shortening the PA liner, Fig. 4
1 Lay out the cable assembly straight.
2 Sharpen the PA liner with the ABICOR BINZEL sharpener (angle of
approx. 40°). For PA liners with a 4.0 mm outer diameter, the capillary
tube in the distance adaptor must be replaced with a guide tube.
3 On the central connector: Unscrew the nut. Remove the PA liners, replace
with new ones and insert into the wire conduit as far as they will go.
4 On the central connector: Slide the clamp nipple and O-ring onto the
PA liner.

7 On the central connector: Unscrew the nut.
8 Remove the spiral liner again.
9 Debur and sharpen the cut edge on the spiral liner (angle approx. 40°).
10 On the central connector: Insert the spiral liner in the wire conduit again
as far as it will go.
11 On the central connector: Hand-tighten the nut.
12 At the torch neck: Mount the wear parts.

5 On the central connector: Hand-tighten the nut.
6 The PA liner must end immediately in front of the wire feeder's feed rolls.
Determine the maximum excess length and mark it on the PA liner.
7 Use the ABICOR BINZEL cutters to cut the PA liner where marked and
debur the edge.
