MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorised personnel) may
remove the safety plates to connect or carry out service, maintenance or repair work on
welding equipment.
CAUTION!
All warranty undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer
attempts any work to rectify any faults in the product during the warranty period.
6.1
Power unit
Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt.
How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on: the welding process, arc times,
placement, and the surrounding environment. It is normally sufficient to blow the power
source clean with dry compressed air (reduced pressure) once a year. Clogged or blocked
air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating.
6.2
Welding torch
Wear parts should be cleaned and replaced at regular intervals in order to achieve
trouble-free welding.
