Care, maintenance and disposal
Under normal operating conditions the power source requires only a minimum of care
and maintenance. However, it is vital to observe some important points to ensure the
welding system remains in a usable condition for many years.
- Check mains plug, mains cable, welding torch, interconnecting hosepack and
grounding (earthing) connection for damage
- Check whether the all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in.) is kept to ensure that the
cooling air can easily flow and escape.
NOTE! Air inlets and outlets must never be covered, not even partially.
- Clean air filter
- Dismantle device side panels and clean inside of device with dry reduced com-
pressed air
NOTE! Risk of damage to electronic components. Do not bring air nozzle too
close to 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.

cally charged components (e.g. capacitors) have discharged
