CHAPTER 4. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS. RECOMMENDATIONS.
In order for the equipment to have a long life we
must follow some essential rules for maintenance and
use. Abide by these recommendations.
CORRECT MAINTENANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT
WILL AVOID A GREAT PERCENTAGE OF FAULTS.
4.1 MACHINE MAINTENANCE. GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Before carrying out any operation on the machine or
welding cables, we must place switch A of the
equipment (Fig. 6) in "O" position of machine
disconnected.
Specialized personnel must handle the machine to
carry out maintenance and repair operations.
BLOW THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE WITH
COMPRESSED AIR FROM TIME TO TIME.
The accumulation of metal dust on the inside is one
of the main causes of breakdowns in this type of
equipment as they are subject to a great amount of
pollution. As an essential measure, the equipment must
be kept separate from the welding place, not placing it
a short distance away. Keeping the machine clean and
dry is essential. The inside must be blown as required.
We must avoid any anomaly or deterioration due to
the accumulation of dust. Blow the inside of the
equipment with clean dry compressed air. As routine to
guarantee that the equipment works correctly, check
that once the machine has been blown the electrical
connections are still properly tightened.
WARNING: SEPARATE THE MACHINE
SUFFICIENTLY FROM THE WORKSTATION.
PREVENT METAL DUST ENTERING THE
EQUIPMENT.
PLACE THE EQUIPMENT SOMEWHERE WHERE
CLEAN AIR IS RENEWED.
The machine ventilations must be kept free. It must
be located in a place where clean air is renewed.
KEEP THE MACHINE PANELS CLOSED.
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE MACHINE IF IT
IS HOT.

of the following in the surrounding area must be kept
in mind:
• Wiring
• Radio and television receivers and transmitters.
• Computers and other control equipment.
• Critical security equipment.
• People with pace makers or hearing aids.
• Measurement and calibration equipment.
In order to reduce EMC problems, keep in mind the
time of day when welding or other activities will be
carried out. Move possible interference victims away
from the welding installation.
