4. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS. RECOMMENDATIONS.
In order for the equipment to have a long life we must follow some essential rules for maintenance and use. Abide by
these recommendations.
CORRECT MAINTENANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT WILL AVOID A GREAT PERCENTAGE OF FAULTS.
4.1. MACHINE MAINTENANCE. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS.
Before carrying out any operation on the machine or
welding cables, we must place the switch of the
equipment in "O" position of machine disconnected.
Specialized personnel must handle the machine to
carry out maintenance and repair operations.
BLOW THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE WITH
COMPRESSED AIR FROM TIME TO TIME.
The accumulation of metal dust on the inside is one of
the main causes of breakdowns in this type of equipment
as they are subject to a great amount of pollution. As an
essential measure, the equipment must be kept separate
from the welding place, not placing it a short distance
away. Keeping the machine clean and dry is essential.
The inside must be blown as required. We must avoid
any anomaly or deterioration due to the accumulation of
dust. Blow the inside of the equipment with clean dry
compressed air. As routine to guarantee that the
equipment works correctly, check that once the machine
has been blown the electrical connections are still
properly tightened.
WARNING!: SEPARATE THE MACHINE SUFFICIENTLY
FROM THE WORKSTATION.
PREVENT METAL DUST ENTERING THE EQUIPMENT.
LOCATE THE EQUIPMENT IN A PLACE WHERE
CLEAN AIR IS CONSTANTLY REPLACED.
The machine ventilations must be kept free. It must be
located in a place where clean air is renewed.
THE MACHINE MUST ALWAYS BE OPERATED WITH
THE HOUSING ON.
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE MACHINE IF IT IS
HOT.
If you have finished the work do not disconnect the
machine immediately, wait until the inner cooling system
has totally cooled it.
KEEP THE WELDING ACCESSORIES IN GOOD
CONDITIONS FOR USE.
ONCE THE WELDING OPERATION HAS FINISHED
AVOID DIRECT CONTACT OF THE ELECTRODE-
HOLDER CLAMP WITH THE WELDING EARTH
CLAMP AND THE OTHER PARTS CONNECTED TO
IT.
4.2. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REDUCING ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (CEM)
PROBLEMS.
The user is responsible for the installation and use of the welding material according to the instructions in
this manual and the following recommendations.
Before installing the welding material, the presence of the following in the surrounding area must be kept in
mind:
Wiring for power, control, signalling, and telephones.
Radio and television receivers and transmitters.
Computers and other control equipment.
Critical security equipment.
People with pace makers or hearing aids.
Measurement and calibration equipment.
In order to reduce EMC problems, keep in mind the time of day when welding or other activities will be
carried out. Move possible interference victims away from the welding installation.
ALWAYS CONNECT THE MACHINE TO POWER USING AN EFFICIENT EARTH TAP.
IF PROTECTIVE DEVICES OR SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FILTERS ARE NEEDED, CONSULT
OUR TECHNICAL SERVICE.
PERFORM THE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.
USE THE SHORTEST WELDING WIRES POSSIBLE AND KEEP THEM PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER NEAR
THE FLOOR.
IF THE WELDING PIECE IS GROUNDED, KEEP IN MIND OPERATOR SAFETY AND NATIONAL
REGULATIONS.
