PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

To ensure that the machine performance is optimal, it is required to perform regular maintenance. Once a week if the
machine is used daily, or once a month if the machine is used occasionally.
- Remove the arm, caps holders, and caps
- Brush scotch brite on the aluminium bores on clamp and arms' nuts and lubricate with Gel 452
- Brush the caps holders, then grease with Gel 452
- Reassemble and replace caps
SETTINGS
1- Welding time:
This function allows you to adjust the welding time around the AUTO value set by the machine.
2- Sheet thickness:
This function allows you to select the thickness of the sheet: 0.6 mm + 0.6 mm to 2 mm + 2 mm.
3- Welding mode:
: Multi pulse welding current.
This selection improves the welding capacity on hard steels or on metal sheets with a special protective
film. The pulse period is automatic and requires no adjustment.
: Welding current with one impulse
IMPLEMENTATION
WARNING ! ALL OPERATIONS/INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE WITH
THE WELDING MACHINE TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS/POWER SUPPLY. ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS MUST ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT.
1.1 ASSEMBLY
Unpack the welding station and assemble the various parts contained in the package.
1.2 ENVIRONMENT
Organise an installation area with sufficient open space to ensure access to the control panel and the working area.
Check the absence of obstacles in front of the air cooling input and output, and the absence of any risk of aspiration of
conductive dust, corrosive gases, moisture, etc.
Place the spot welding station on a flat, homogeneous and solid surface, it must be adapted to support the weight to
avoid the dangers of knockovers or dangerous falls.
USE
2.1 PRELIMINARY ACTIONS
Before starting any welding operation, make a few verifications and checkups with the welding station off:
1- Check that the electrical connection has been performed according to the previous instructions.
2- Alignment and electrode force:
- Carefully block the lower electrode in the most suitable position for the task,
- Loosen the clamping force screw of the upper electrode to enable its movement into the slot on the arm,
- Insert a strut between the electrodes, it should be the same thickness as the metal sheet to punch,
- Close the lever until the electrode tips touch, without completely closing the clamping handle
- Block the upper electrode in the correct position by carefully tightening the screw,
- Adjust the force exerted by the electrodes with the adjustment screw. Tighten clockwise to increase strength in pro-
portion to that of the thickness of the sheet.
