5.0 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!
NEVER REMOVE THE MACHINE'S PANELS AND GET INSIDE IT WITHOUT
HAVING FIRST UNPLUGGED IT FROM THE POWER SOCKET.
ANY CHECKS MADE INSIDE THE MACHINE WHILE IT IS POWERED MAY CAUSE
SEVERE ELECTRIC SHOCK ORIGINATING FROM DIRECT CONTACT WITH LIVE
PARTS.
Periodically, and anyhow with a frequency according to use and the dustiness of
the environment, inspect inside the machine and remove the dust that has formed
on the transformer, reactor and rectifier by blowing dry compressed air (max. 10
bar). On this occasion, check that the electrical connections are tightened properly
and the insulation on the wirings is not damaged.
If necessary, lubricate the moving parts of the adjuster elements (threaded shaft,
shunt sliding surfaces, etc.) with a very thin layer of grease at high temperature.
On completing these operations, fit the panels back on the machine, tightening the
fixing screws fully. Never do any welding when the machine is open.
MAINTENANCE
• CAREFULLY COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.
Fit the required electrode on the electrode holder.
2.
Connect the earthing lead connector to the quick-release negative terminal
and the clamp near the welding zone.
3.
Connect the electrode holder connector to the quick-release positive termi-
nal.
4.
The connection of these two connectors thus made will result in welding
with straight polarity; reverse the connection to obtain welding with reverse
polarity.
5.
Adjust the welding current to the required value.
6.
Switch the generator on.
