7 MAINTENANCE
7.1

Overview

Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Only personnel with appropriate electrical skills (authorized staff) may remove safety plates.
CAUTION!
All warranty undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer
attempts any work to rectify any faults in the product during the warranty period.
7.2

Power source

Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt.
How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on:
• the welding process
• the arc times
• the placement
• the surrounding environment
It is normally sufficient to blow down the power source using dry compressed air (reduced
pressure) once a year.
Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets will otherwise result in overheating.
7.3

Welding torch

A regular program of care and maintenance reduces unnecessary and expensive downtime.
Each time a wire bobbin is changed, the welding torch should be removed from the power
source and blown clean using compressed air.
The wire end must not have sharp edges when inserted into the wire liner.
For detailed information, see the instruction manuals for welding torches.
