Maintenance
• The correct use and regular cleansing extend the useful life of the welder.
CAUTION
• Only qualified personnel shall carry out repairs. We recommend visiting a
Authorized Service Center to repair your welder, get supplies or accessories.
Regular Maintenance
• Clean dust from the welder with compressed air. If there
is too much dust present, clean immediately. Under
normal conditions clean once a year. If the welder is
exposed to a lot of dust, cleaning should be carried out
every three months.
• Altogether with cleaning make a checkup to assure there
are no loose parts or components in the welder.
• Keep the welder plug in good repair.
• The plug shall be checked before each use.

Storage
• In the event the welder will be stored a long period of
time, keep it in a dry, well ventilated place to prevent
humidity getting inside, or to generate rust or toxic gas.
Storage temperature vary between -13 °F to 131 °F and
relative humidity shall not be over 90%.
Solution
• Keep the welder least 11,8" away from any walls at to
allow air circulation.
