maintenance. However, it is vital to observe some important points to ensure the welding
system remains in a usable condition for many years.

ing (earthing) connection for damage
- Check whether the all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft. 8 in.) is kept to ensure that the
cooling air can easily flow and escape.

- clean out the device interior using dry compressed air at reduced pressure
- if a lot of dust has accumulated, clean the cooling air ducts.
