4.1. MACHINE MAINTENANCE. GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Before carrying out any operation on the
machine or clip, we must place switch A of the
equipment (Fig. 5) in "0" position of machine
disconnected.
Work on the
maintenance and repair operations must be done by
specialised personnel.
BLOW THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE WITH
COMPRESSED AIR FROM TIME TO TIME
The accumulation on the inside of metal dust
is one of the main causes of breakdowns in this type
of equipment as they are subject to a great amount of
pollution. As an essential measure, the equipment
must be kept separate from the welding place,
placing it some distance away. Keeping the machine
clean and dry is essential. The inside must be blown
as required. We must avoid any anomaly or
deterioration due to the accumulation of dust. Blow
the inside of the equipment with clean dry
compressed air. As a routine to guarantee the correct
operation of the equipment, after blowing
the equipment, make sure the electrical connection
are correctly tightened.
