5. MAINTENANCE

When planning routine maintenance, consider the operating frequency of the welding equipment and the working
environment.
Correct operation of the welding equipment and regular maintenance helps you avoid unnecessary downtime and
equipment failure. Mainly due to the high temperatures, the TIG torch head and parts require regular checks and
maintenance. Periodically, check the cables set for damage and ensure connections are tightened correctly.
