Safety Features; Sparks On The Tip/Work Piece; Internal Temperature; Welds That Cannot Be Cleaned - Walter SURFOX 104 Manual De Usuario

Safety features

A) Sparks on the tip/work piece
To avoid short circuits (arcing), the machine automatically
stops when the insert touches the work piece (metal to
metal contact). If the voltage sharply increases creating a
short, the system will automatically cut the power to the tip
to avoid any damage to the equipment.
To restart the machine, simply press the hand wand ON
button.
WARNING! To avoid drawing too much amperage and
automatically stopping the power to the tip, make sure that
you touch only one surface at a time. The machine is set
to work at a maximum of 15 amps. If the amperage goes
above 15 amps, the machine automatically shuts down.
Example: On a flat surface, the amper-
age is around 12 amps. The contact
surface area is relatively small.
B) Internal temperature
To protect the internal components of the machine, there
are temperature sensors inside the machine. If the operating
temperature is too high, the machine will shut down and re-
start by itself when the temperature reaches an acceptable
level. There is an internal fan inside the machine to keep all
the components cool.
WARNING! The inside temperature can increase for many
reasons: high ambient temperature, lack of proper air circu-
lation around the machine, fluctuations in voltage, electrical
set-up in the shop, etc.
Example: An internal angle, which if
you touch 2 sides simultaneously, the
contact surface area is doubled,
amperage goes above 15 amps and
the machine stops.
Note: Automatic shut off if ground is
not detected within 20 seconds.
C) Welds that cannot be cleaned
If the area around the weld is black (not blue) from contami-
nation, this is a problem of high heat generated during the
welding process. The contaminated areas do not conduct
electricity. If there is no conductivity in the material, the
SURFOX system cannot work.
If there are two welds on top of the other, the structure of
the material has been seriously altered. These areas may
not be cleaned.
The quality of the weld is critical. The better the weld, the
easier it will be to clean.
