CHAPTER 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 gun, we must place switch of the equipment in "O"
position of machine disconnected.
Specialized personnel must handle the machine to carry out maintenance and repair operations.
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 essential measure, the 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.
PLACE THE EQUIPMENT SOMEWHERE WHERE CLEAN AIR IS RENEWED.
The machine ventilations must be kept free. It must be located in a place where clean air is renewed.
KEEP THE MACHINE PANELS CLOSED.
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.
KEEP THE WELDING GUN IN GOOD CONDITIONS FOR USE.
A damaged or worn gun can cause inefficient welding.
WHEN FINISHING THE WELDING OPERATION MAKE SURE THAT THE TORCH CATCH IS
UNLOCKED. (If mechanical lock guns are used)
