Maintenance and troubleshooting
6
The following operation requires su
ffi
cient professional
knowledge on electric aspects and comprehensive
safety knowledge. Make sure the input cable of the
machine is disconnected from the electricity supply and
wait for 5 minutes before removing the machine covers.
In order to guarantee that the arc welding machine works
e
ffi
ciently and in safety, it must be maintained regularly.
Operators should understand the maintenance methods and
means of arc welding machine operation. This guide should
enable customers to carry on simple examination and
safeguarding by oneself, try to reduce the fault rate and
repair times of the arc welding machine, so as to lengthen
service life of arc welding machine
Troubleshooting
Before arc welding machines are dispatched from the
factory, they have already been checked thoroughly. The
machine should not be tampered with or altered.
Maintenance must be carried out carefully. If any wire
becomes loose or is misplaced, it maybe potential danger to
user!
Only professional maintenance personnel should repair the
machine!
Ensure the power is disconnected before working on the
machine. Always wait 5 minutes after power switch o
ff
before opening the case.

Period
Maintenance item
Daily
examination
Carry out a full visual inspection. Check
for any damage to the machine, leads,
cables and connections. Replace where
necessary.
Switch on the machine and check for any
warning Led’s and general operation
Monthly
examination
Using the dry compressed air to clean the
inside of arc welding machine. Especially
check for build up of dust / debris on
intake grills, main voltage transformer,
inductance, IGBT module, the fast recover
diode and PCB, etc. Take care when
blowing electronic components and do not
dislodge any wiring connections
Check the security of output connections
and plugs. Replace if signs of overheating.
Yearly
examination
Carry out an annual service. Check earth
continuity and insulation resistance of the
machine at the relevant points.
PLEASE NOTE THIS WORK SHOULD
BE CARRIED OUT BY A TRAINED
COMPETENT PERSON.

Over current LED
If the over current LED is on during
welding, it indicates that the machine fails
or accidental interference occurs. Restart
the machine. If the phenomenon cannot be
eliminated, shut down the machine and
contact the service centre of our company.
Overheating LED
If the overheating LED is on during
welding, it indicates that the main circuit
works for so long time that welding is
forced to stop. It is unnecessary to shut
down the machine, but just wait for the
overheating LED to go out, and then
welding can be continued.
Under voltage LED
Under voltage LED
When the mains voltage is below 260V
during welding or the auxiliary power
supply fails, the under voltage LED will be
on. Check the 3-phase power supply or
auxiliary power supply of the machine.
