6 MAINTENANCE
NOTE!
Regular maintenance is important for safe and reliable operation.
CAUTION!
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized
personnel) may remove the safety plates.
CAUTION!
All warranty undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer
attempts any work to rectify any faults in the product during the warranty period.
6.1 Inspection and cleaning
The air stream through the cooling unit carries particles that become trapped in the cooling
element, particularly in dirty working environments. This results in reduced cooling capacity.
In order to sustain the performance and increase the lifetime of the cooling unit, it is
mandatory to clean it using compressed air at regular intervals. How often depends on:
• The welding process
• The arc time
• The surrounding environment (grinding etc.)
Equipment and prerequisites
• Screwdrivers, Torx T25 and T30
• Dry compressed air, at a pressure of 4bar (58psi)
• Recommended personal safety equipment, such as ear plugs, safety glasses, masks,
gloves and safety shoes
• The cleaning should be carried out in a suitably prepared workspace.
