Maintenance - Impax IM-MIG150 Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE

Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the welding hose.
Periodically remove the dust, using LOW
PRESSURE compressed air, within the casing.
Adequate heat dissipation is essential during the
welders operation.
Maintenance
Warning! Ensure the welder is disconnected
from the electrical mains power supply before
attempting any service or maintenance.
The welder must be kept clean and dry at all
times. Use a dry cloth to clean the welder.
Keep the shroud and contact tip clean and
ensure all cables are in good condition.
Caution: Water must never come into contact
with the welder.
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are
tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
If the supply cord requires replacing, the task
must be carried out by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer's agent, or an authorised service
centre to avoid a safety hazard.
Welding Mask Maintenance
Always maintain the welding mask in good
condition. If the clear glass protection lens
becomes badly pitted, sufficient to interfere with
vision, or cracked, have it replaced immediately.
NEVER use any dark filter lens other than that
provided by Impax, or one with the same
certified 'Optical class' (degree of protection).
The shield should always be cleaned with a
clean soft cloth after use, ensuring the lenses
are clean. Remove any dust that may have
accumulated and store it in a safe place where it
cannot be damaged.
NEVER use a shield that is not in perfect
condition.
