    The hot start function temporarily increases the current in the beginning of the weld, thus reducing the risk of lack of fusion in the starting point. Hot start only applies to MMA welding. 0463 416 001 - 31 - © ESAB AB 2017...
  • Page 32: Maintenance

    To maintain the performance and increase the lifetime of the power source it is mandatory to clean it regularly. How often depends on: • the welding process • the arc time • the working environment 0463 416 001 - 32 - © ESAB AB 2017...
  • Page 33 Since the power source contains one "dirty side" (the right side) and one "clean side" (the left side), it is important that you do not remove the left side panel before cleaning the right side of the power source. 0463 416 001 - 33 - © ESAB AB 2017...
  • Page 34 The IP shield should be angled approximately 90° into the power source, so that it is positioned between the welding outlet connector and the transformer outlets. 0463 416 001 - 34 - © ESAB AB 2017...
