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 the switch of the
equipment in "O" position of machine disconnected.
Specialized personnel must handle the machine to
carry out maintenance and repair operations.
B- 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
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.
C- LOCATE THE EQUIPMENT IN A PLACE
WHERE CLEAN AIR IS CONSTANTLY
REPLACED.
The machine ventilations must be kept free. It
must be located in a place where clean air is
renewed.
D- THE MACHINE MUST ALWAYS BE
OPERATED WITH THE HOUSING ON.
essential measure, the
GALA 2000 G.E.
E- DO NOT DISCONNECT THE MACHINE IF
IT IS HOT.
If you have finished the work do not disconnect
the machine immediately, wait until the inner
cooling system has totally cooled it.
F- KEEP THE WELDING ACCESSORIES IN
GOOD CONDITIONS FOR USE.
G- ONCE THE WELDING OPERATION HAS
FINISHED AVOID DIRECT CONTACT OF
THE ELECTRODE-HOLDER CLAMP WITH
THE WELDING EARTH CLAMP AND THE
OTHER PARTS CONNECTED TO IT.
4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REDUCING
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (CEM) PROBLEMS.
The user is responsible for the installation and use
of the welding material according to the instructions
in this manual and the following recommendations.
Before installing
presence of the following in the surrounding area
must be kept in mind:
• Wiring for power, control, signalling, and
telephones.
• 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.
ALWAYS CONNECT THE MACHINE TO POWER
USING AN EFFICIENT EARTH TAP.
IF PROTECTIVE DEVICES OR SUPPLEMENTARY
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FILTERS ARE NEEDED,
CONSULT OUR TECHNICAL SERVICE.
PERFORM THE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.
USE THE SHORTEST WELDING WIRES POSSIBLE
AND KEEP THEM PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER
NEAR THE FLOOR.
IF THE WELDING PIECE IS GROUNDED, KEEP IN
MIND OPERATOR SAFETY AND NATIONAL
