8.1 Care and cleaning
The stud welding system requires no special care.
The required cleaning tasks for the gun and sorter can be found in the specific
devices’ operating manuals.
For the ALPHA 850 welding device, the following cleaning tasks are required. Here it
should be noted:
Warning:
•
Before cleaning starts, the welding device must be switched off,
unplugged and secured against restart.
The cleaning intervals depend on the degree of soiling, but cleaning should be done
regularly every 3 months.
•
For cleaning, use no aggressive or alcohol-laden substances or flammable liquids.
•
The ALPHA 850’s device housing must be wiped with dry cloths.
The type plate and safety instructions must be easily readable.
•
The ALPHA 850’s front plate must be cleaned with a grease-cutting cleaning
agent. The LED display elements must be recognizable.
•
The electrical connection cables must be cleaned with a dry cloth.
This makes scorch marks or mechanical defects easy to notice.
•
Depending on the conditions of use and the level of soiling, cleaning may be
needed inside the device.
•
Impurities within the welding device, such as metal dust or conductive shavings
should be wiped or vacuumed out.
