6.1

Power source

Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt.
How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on:
• the welding process
• arc times
• positioning of welding power source
• the surrounding environment.
It is normally sufficient to blow the power source clean with dry compressed air (reduced
pressure) once a year.
Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating.
6.2

Welding torch

The wear parts should be cleaned and replaced at regular intervals in order to achieve
trouble-free welding.
