6-2. Unit Overload Protection And Tip Saver/Short Circuit Protection

A. Unit Overload Protection
Thermistor RT1 in rectifier SR1 protects the unit from damage due to overheating. If Over Temp light illuminates,
output and wire feed will shut down. Wait until Over Temp light turns off before resuming welding.
B. Tip Saver/Short Circuit Protection
The tip saver/short circuit protection extends contact tip life and protects internal components from damage. If contact
tip is shorted to workpiece, the unit shuts down the welding output, but the fan continues to run. To resume operation,
release gun trigger to reset unit. If the contact tip has stuck to the workpiece, release gun trigger, turn off unit, and
remove contact tip from workpiece. Check contact tip and replace if damaged. Turn on unit to continue operation.
