11. Repairs

Danger!
Repairs to electric tools must
be carried out by qualified electrici-
ans only!
Welding machines in need of repair can
be sent to the service centre of your
country. Refer to the spare parts list for
the address.
Please attach a description of the fault to
the power tool.

12. Environmental Protection

The machine's packaging can be 100 %
recycled.
Worn out power tools and accessories
contain considerable amounts of valua-
ble raw and rubber materials, which can
be recycled.
These instructions are printed on chlo-
rine-free bleached paper.

13. Troubles

The Powerbox is protected against over-
loads with multiple, independent of each
other working protective devices.
These protective devices also comprise
the fine-wire fuses, fitted on the PCBs.
Should any of these fuses blow, it is an
indication of some serious machine fault.
Danger! High voltage!
Never replace a fine-wire fuse
inside the machine on your own.
Contact a qualified electrician!
Before fitting a fresh fuse, the
machine must be completely checked
and the cause for the fault removed!
