MAINTENANCE
Lack of maintenance can lead to reduced reliability
and repeal of the guarantee.
Wire feed unit
This unit must be cleaned with dry, clean, com-
pressed air and maintained regularly at the wire feed
roll and the capillary tubes, as it is of great im-
portance for a satisfactory welding result and a mini-
mum of wear and tear that the wire passes through
the wire drive system without any deformations of the
wire or the wire feed roll. The contact tips must be
checked often and changed if the copper plating of
the wire is damaged on its way through the tips.
Copper dust may prevent free passage of wire
through the torch liner. A weekly control and
cleaning of the capillary tubes and the wire feed roll
is recommended.
MIG/MAG hose
Great care should be taken to ensure that the
welding hose is not overloaded. It should not be
pulled over sharp edges, and heavy machines should
not run over it. The hose should be dismantled every
week and blown out with clean, dry compressed air.
The torch should be disconnected during this
process.
MIG/MAG welding torch
There are many parts in the welding torch that have
to be cleaned regularly. The main ones are the
contact tips and the gas shroud. During the welding
process, these parts are bombarded with spatter that
sticks in the shroud. Spatter should be removed
regularly. Add MIG-spray that loosens spatter.
During the cleaning process, the gas shroud should
be removed.
Do not clean by banging or hitting the
torch.
Power source
With regular intervals dust should be blown out of the
power source with clean, dry compressed air.
Choked or blocked air intake and outlet may result in
overheating. The power source should be checked
and cleaned at least once a year by trained service
staff.
