Maintenance and troubleshooting

6

The  following  operation  requires  su

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

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

 

before opening the case.

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 center of our company.

Overload LED

If  the  overload  LED  is  on  during  welding,  it 
indicates  that  the  main  circuit  is  overheated 
and  the  machine  will  stop  welding.time  that 
welding.It  is  unnecessary  to  shut  down  the 
machine,  but  just  wait  for  the  overload  LED 
to  go  out,  and  then  welding  can  be 
continued.
