7 MAINTENANCE

Periodically make sure that the welding machine and all
connections are in good condition to ensure operator safety.
After making a repair, be careful to arrange the wiring in such
a way that the parts connected to the power supply are safely
insulated from the parts connected to the welding circuit. Do
not allow wires to come into contact with moving parts or
those that heat up during operation. Mount the clips as on the
original machine to avoid, if a conductor accidentally breaks or
disconnects itself, the occurrence of a connection between
power supply and the welding circuits.
