9 Maintenance and cleaning
Scheduled maintenance and cleaning are prerequisites for a long service life and trouble-free operation.
The maintenance cycle is determined by the work environment and by the length of the scheduled intervals
between maintenance of the devices. The maintenance cycle is usually three months. If the device is
operated for more than 8 hours a day, the maintenance intervals should be changed as needed.
WARNING
Risk of burns from hot surface
Welding torches become very hot during welding. This may result in serious burns.
► Allow welding torches to cool down after welding.
► Wear the correct protective gloves.
WARNING
Electric shock caused by damaged or improperly installed cables
The use of damaged or improperly installed cables may result in a potentially fatal electric shock.
► Check all live cables and connections for proper installation and damage.
► Have any damaged, deformed, or worn parts replaced by a qualified electrician only.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to unexpected start
If the device is energised during maintenance, cleaning or disassembly work, rotating parts may
unexpectedly start up and cause crushing.
► Switch off the device.
► Disconnect all electrical connections.
