The pointing out of any difficulties and their elimination The supply line is attributed with the cause of the most com- mon difficulties. In the case of breakdown, proceed as follows: 1) Check the value of the supply voltage. 2) Check that the power cable is perfectly connected to the plug and the supply switch.
Troubleshooting table WARNING: Any internal inspections or repairs are only to be done by qualified personnel! IMPORTANT: Remember to disconnect the mains power supply and wait for the internal capacitors to discharge (about 2 min- utes) before starting to check and repair the welding power source if necessary.
