Under normal operating conditions, PlasmaModule 10 requires only a minimum of care
and maintenance. However, it is vital to observe some important points to ensure the
plasma welding system remains in a usable condition for many years.
- Check mains plug, mains cable, plasma torch, interconnecting hosepack and earth
connection for damage
- Check that there is a gap of 0.5 m (19.69 in.) all around the machine to ensure that
cooling air can flow and escape unhindered.
NOTE! Air inlets and outlets must never be covered, not even partially.
- Dismantle machine side panels and clean machine inside with dry reduced com-
pressed air
NOTE! Risk of damage to electronic components. Do not bring the air nozzle
too close to the electronic components.
- If a lot of dust has accumulated, clean the cooling-air ducts.
Dispose of in accordance with the applicable national and local regulations.
WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Before opening up the machine
- Move the mains switch to the “O” position
- Unplug 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 electrical-
ly charged components (e.g. capacitors) have been discharged
