AVERTIZARE!
For your own safety, make sure that the robot is either in standby or power-less
state before doing maintenance work in the moving radius of the robot.
Follow the assembly instructions exactly. Pay attention during assembly that the cables are
not damaged. Damaged cables can lead to a short circuit, which may damage the electronics
of the robot or the welding torch.
Use only original ESAB components that have been specially developed for this purpose.
Only then the correct functioning of the whole welding torch system can be guaranteed.

(10.5in.lb) must be observed for the fastening of the adapter flange screws.
Prevent self-loosening of the screws by using suitable thread locking
measures.
