Maintenance

□
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the welder. Check for loose screws, cracked or broken parts, damaged circuit wiring
or cables, and any other potential risks that may cause safety issues. Replace damaged or worn parts, cords/cables or gun assembly.
□
After each use of the welder, clean external surfaces of the welder with clean cloth.
□
Periodically clean the welder using compressed air to blow out all dust and debris from the interior. If necessary, use compressed air to
clean the liner, especially when changing wire spools.
□
If the unit continuously shuts down due to thermal overload, please turn off the welder and have a qualified electrician inspect the
welder and repair it.
□ Store the welder and accessories in a clean and dry location out of reach of children.
□
Wire feed drive rolls are consumable accessories. The grooves of the drive roll will wear deeper after long-time usage. The wear out
will cause a contact between the idler roll and the drive roll. In this situation, the wire feed drive roll should be replaced.
□
Use a wire brush to scrub the outside of the contact tip. Use a tip cleaner (sold separately) to clean the inside.
□
Contact tips are also consumable accessories. After long-time usage, the worn round hole of the contact tip will turn to an elliptical
shape or form some bulges. Thus, replace the contact tip when it wears out.
□
Nozzle must be cleaned periodically because spatter and slag will build up inside the nozzle during welding process.
