MAINTENANCE
Introduction
Hypertherm assumes that the service personnel performing the troubleshooting testing are high-level
electronic service technicians that have worked with high-voltage electromechanical systems. Knowledge
of final isolation troubleshooting techniques is also assumed.
In addition to being technically qualified, maintenance personnel must perform all testing with safety in
mind. Refer to the Safety section for operating precautions and warning formats.
Under severe conditions, routine maintenance should be performed more frequently.

loosened.
