Using the example shown, which is an illustration of the data plate;-
e.g. when welding at 40 amps the machine may be used for 6 minutes (60%)
in any 10 minute period.
WELDING ADVICE
•
Try to maintain the tip of the nozzle at an angle of approx. 45
o
and at a
constant distance of approx 5-7mm from the workpiece.
•
Try to maintain a constant speed of movement with the torch.
•
DO NOT weld in windy conditions or in an area where ventilation is a
problem, or where air flow fluctuates.
•
ALWAYS keep the wire and nozzle clean...NEVER use rusted wire.
•
Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the welding hose.
•
Whenever possible, clean out the wire liner with compressed air when
replacing the wire spool.
•
Periodically remove the dust using LOW PRESSURE compressed air within
the casing. Adequate heat dissipation is essential during the welders
operation.
MAINTENANCE
Frequency of maintenance operations depends on the operating conditions,
how intensively the welder is used and how clean or dirty the welding site is
(aggressive environments etc).
Always inspect the earth cable and torch hose before use, to ensure they are
in perfect condition and that the earth clamp is clean and secured correctly
to the cable.
Check the hose for security and damage.
As a general rule the power supply should be inspected at least annually.
Consult your CLARKE dealer for advice if necessary.
WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL - NEVER TOUCH LIVE ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ALL INSPECTIONS
AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS. BEWARE HOT SURFACES.
WARNING: ALWAYS LET THE WELDER COOL DOWN BEFORE ACCESSING
INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
