MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Before removing
the coating, vapo
rise the low-vis-
cosity oil lubri-
cate the sealing
ring
PROBABLE CAUSE
Defective power supply cable (one or moreshut-off phases)
Fuse blown
Insufficient pressure from rollers
Casing guide wire damaged
Wire striated, not suited to welding or excessively worn
Coil brake too tightly applied
Wire is rusted, of poor quality or badly coiled with tangled tips
Earth cable not connected
Wire disconnected or badly connected to the switches
Switches defective
Defective rectifier
Absence of gas
Draughts in the welding area
Orifices on diffuser obstructed
Gas escape due to a pipe break
Solenoid valve jammed
Reducing valve defective
Poor quality of gas or wire
Solenoid valve worn or contaminated
Trigger on torch defective, disconnected or with broken electri-
cal wiring
Fuse burned out
Mains isolator defective
Defective electronic circuit
Try to increase the clamping pressure of the rollers
Release the brake by slightly loosening the setting screw
Check condition of cable and ensure that clamp is properly attached to compo-
nent, at a point free of rust, grease or paint
