12. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
1. The only routine maintenance required for the aXe range of machines is
a thorough cleaning and inspection, with the frequency depending on the
usage and the operating environment.
WARNING
2. Disconnect the aXe from the mains supply voltage before disassembling.
3. Special maintenance is not necessary for the control unit parts in the
Welder. If these parts are damaged for any reason, replacement is
recommended.
CAUTION
4. Do not blow air into the welder during cleaning. Blowing air into the
welder can cause metal particles to interfere with sensitive electronic
components and cause damage to the welder.
5. To clean the welder, disconnect it from the mains supply voltage then
open the enclosure and use a vacuum cleaner to remove any
accumulated dirt and dust. The welder should also be wiped clean. If
necessary, solvents that are recommended for cleaning electrical
apparatus may be used.
6. Troubleshooting and repairing of the aXe welding equipment should only
be carried out only by suitably qualified or competent person.
7. A ‘competent person’ must be a person who has acquired through
training, qualification or experience, or a combination of them, the
knowledge and skills enabling that person to safely carry out a risk
assessment and repairs to the electrical equipment in question.
8. The person carrying out the servicing needs and repairs must know what
to look at, what to look for and what to do.
