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.
- Check mains cable, mains plug, welding torch, interconnection cable assembly and
bondings for damage
- Check whether the allround distance of 0.5 m (1ft. 8in.) 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 compres-
sed air.
Note! Risk of damage to electronical components. Clean electronical compo-
nenets 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.
Warning! An electric shock can be fatal. Before opening the machine:
- Shift the mains switch into the „O“ position
- Unplug the machine from the mains
- Put op 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.
