5.1
regular maintenance
Check regularly the electrical connections of the machine. Clean any oxidised connections,
and tighten the loosened cable connections.

Cause
The machine has overheated.
• Ensure that cooling air has unrestricted flow.
• The machine's duty cycle has been exceeded.
If no other damage is caused, the fan starts working and the machine recovers within a
couple of minutes.
If the problem persists, please contact Kemppi service representative.
The mains voltage is either too low (Err 2) or too high (Err 3). *
The machine recovers automatically, when the mains voltage is in the recommended
range (342 – 484 V).
The wire feeder motor is overloaded.
Check that you are using the right wire type and that the wire feed route is unobstructed.
Several factors affect the welding quality.
• Check wire feed calibration.
• Check that the earth return clamp is properly attached, the point of contact is clean and
that the cable and its connectors are intact.
• Check the voltage and wire speed settings on the control panel are correct for the given
wire size and type.
• Check that the shielding gas flow rate at the gun nozzle is correct.
• Check that the shielding gas is suitable for the filler wire used.
• Check that the wire feed is constant, and adjust if necessary.
• Check that the mains voltage is not too irregular.
The machine has no mains voltage
• Check the mains fuses
• Check the mains cable and the wall plug
