which can be drawn inside the machine and
reduces power consumption. The F.A.N. operates
in different modes, it depends by the machine type
and by the selected weld:
•
V145-S CE / V145-S 2V CE (STICK mode):
When the machine is turned ON the fan will
turn ON. The fan will continue to run whenever
the machine is welding. If the machine doesn't
weld for more than five minutes, the fan will turn
OFF.
•
V145-S CE / V145-S 2V CE (TIG mode), V145-
S CE (12V) and AUSTRALIA (STICK and TIG
modes): When the machine is turned ON the
fan is OFF. The fan will turn ON only when a
weld is started and it will continue to run
whenever the machine is welding. If the
machine doesn't weld for more than five
minutes, the fan will turn OFF.
