CHECKS AND REMEDIES
Loosen brake using adjusting screw.
Remedy by removing defective coils. If problem persists,
change the wire reel.
Check that the power cord is in good condition and make
sure that the ground clamps are flrmly fixed to the works
piece, which must be free of rust, grease and paint.
Check, tighten or renew, as necessary.
Check the state of the contacts and the mechanical efficien-
cy of the contactor
Visually check for signs of burn-out; if present, renew recti-
fler.
Check presence of gas and gas supply pressure.
Use a suitable screen. Increase gas delivery pressure if nec-
essary.
Clear clogged holes using compressed air.
Check and renew faulty component.
Check solenoid operation an electrical connection.
Check operation by removing the hose connecting the pres-
sure regulator to the power source.
Gas must be extra-dry; change the cylinder or use a different
type wire.
Dismantle solenoid; clean hole and obturator.
Remove the torch connection plug and short-circuit the
poles; if the machine operates properly, check the cables
and the torch trigger.
Renew using a fuse of the same rating.
Clean with compressed air. Ensure that wires are tightly se-
cured; renew switch if necessary.
Renew circuit.
