CHECK FAULTS

When abnormal situation such as failure of welding, unstable arc, poor welding result, do not

consider that it must be some faults.

The machine may be well but just some reasons cause abnormality such as that some connectors

are loosened, forget to turn on the switch, wrong setting, broken cable and gas pipe, etc. So before

maintenance, Please check it up first, some problem may be solved.

The following is earlier checking diagram by this way. In the top right corner item you can find the

problem, please check according to the diagram for the one with “O” mark.
