6.6 Setting the shielding gas volume
6.7 Feeding in wire
7 Handle operating elements
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, the cylinder valve must be opened briefly 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 (6) to the wire feeder (8).
2 Use the pressure reducer on the shielding gas cylinder (6) to set the gas
quantity.
NOTICE
• Each time the wire is changed, make sure that the beginning of the wire is
free of burrs.

1 Insert the wire into the wire feeder (8) as shown in the operating manual for
the respective LORCH device.
2 Press the 'zero-current wire feed' trigger on the wire feeder (8).
NOTICE
• As the MIG/MAG welding torches are integrated into a welding system,
the operating instructions for the welding components, such as the
welding power source, must be observed during operation.
The trigger can be activated when using a standard welding torch. Further
operating modes and handle modules depend on the welding power source
and must be ordered separately.
