6.1 Inspection and cleaning
Power source
Check regularly that the power source is free from dirt.
The power source should be regularly blown clean using dry compressed air at reduced
pressure. This should be done more frequently in dirty environments.
Otherwise the air inlet/outlet may become blocked and cause overheating. To avoid
this you can use an airfilter.
The airfilter is an accessory. Order number can be found on page 29.
Welding gun

The welding gun's wear parts should be cleaned and replaced at regular
intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feed. Blow the wire guide clean
regularly and clean the contact tip.
The brake hub

readjustment is required, follow the instructions
below. Adjust the brake hub so that wire is slightly
slack when wire feed stops.
