Maintenance and troubleshooting
The following operation requires sufficient professional
knowledge on electric aspects and comprehensive
safety knowledge. Make sure the input cable of the
machine is disconnected from the electricity supply and
wait for 5 minutes before removing the machine covers.
In order to guarantee that the arc welding machine works
efficiently and in safety, it must be maintained regularly.
Operators should understand the maintenance methods and
means of arc welding machine operation. This guide should
enable customers to carry on simple examination and
safeguarding by oneself, try to reduce the fault rate and
repair times of the arc welding machine, so as to lengthen
