General remarks
Warning! An electric shock can be fatal. Before opening up the machine
- Shift the mains switch into the "OFF" position
- Unplug the machine from the mains
- Put up an easy-to-understand warning sign to stop anybody inadvertently
switching it back on again
- Using a suitable measuring instrument, check to make sure that electrically
charged components (e.g. capacitors) have been discharged
- Check mains plug, mains cable, welding torch, interconnection cable assembly and
bondings for damage
- Check whether the allround distance of 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) is kept to ensure that the
cooling air can easily flow and escape.
Note! Furthermore, air inlets and outlets must in no case be covered, not even
covered partly.
- Optional: clean air filter
- Dismantle machine side panels and clean machine inside with dry reduced com-
pressed air
Note! Risk of damage to electronic components. Clean electronic components
from a certain distance only.
- If a lot of dust has accumulated, clean the cooling-air ducts.
Carry out disposal in accordance with the valid national and local regulations.
Under normal operating conditions the power source requires only a minimum of care
and maintenance. However, it is indispensable to follow some important points to ensure
the operationality of the welding machine for many years.
