MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE n order to guarantee the arc welding machine works efficiently and safely, it must be maintained regularly. Refer to the maintenance items in the following table. ● Warning: For safety while maintaining the machine, please shut off the supply power and wait for 5 minutes, until capacitor voltage drops to safe voltage.
Page 21
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING ARC WELDING DEFECT AND PREVENTION METHOD Problem Possible Cause What to do Choosing parameters based on the welding in The temperature of molten pool is too high. Overlap different positions. The liquid metal solidifies slowly Control the molten pool size In the crater, the electrode should be held for a The crater time is too short.
