Maintenance, care and disposal
CAUTION
The following work must always be carried out with the power source switched off.
6.1
Daily maintenance tasks
• Remove impurities from the spot welding nozzle and spray with protective spray.
• Check torch, tube package and power connections for exterior damage and replace or have repaired
by specialist staff as necessary!
• Clean thread on the gas nozzle connection.
• Check the replaceable parts in the torch (collet, collet casing, spot welding nozzle, spot welding nozzle
holder and insulator).
• Check that coolant connections are tight.
• Check that the welding torch, and where applicable the power source cooling, are functioning
correctly.
• Check the coolant level.
6.2
Monthly maintenance tasks
• Check and clean the welding torch. Deposits in the torch can cause short circuits and have a negative
impact on the welding result, ultimately causing damage to the torch.
• Check the wearing parts in the torch.
• Check the coolant container for sludge deposits and check the coolant for cloudiness.
Clean the coolant container if contaminated, and change the coolant.
• If the coolant is dirty, rinse through the welding torch alternately several times with fresh coolant using
the coolant return and supply.
• Check that all connections and wearing parts are hand-tight and tighten if necessary.
• Check torch, tube package and power connections for exterior damage and replace or have repaired
by specialist staff as necessary!
6.3
Maintenance work
CAUTION
Electric current!
Repairs may only be carried out by authorised specialist staff!
• Do not remove the torch from the tube package!
• Never clamp the torch body in a vice or similar, as this can cause the torch to be irreparably
destroyed!
• If damage occurs to the torch or to the tube package which cannot be corrected as part of
the maintenance work, the entire torch must be returned to the manufacturer
