3.3 ANTI-STICK FUNCTION
During the initial arc striking, the electrode can stick to the product, which can
result in overheating and even damaging the electrode.
If the electrode sticks to the product, the machine reduces the arc current after
0.6...0.8 seconds. This makes it easier for the welder to separate (tear off) the
electrode from the product without the risk of burning the eyes through an accidental
arc striking. After the electrode is torn off the product, welding can be continued.
4. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before you open the machine for preventive maintenance, turn
it off and withdraw the mains plug. Let the internal circuits discharge (for 5
minutes) first and then proceed. When you carry out maintenance, put a sign
prohibiting to turn the machine on.
To ensure the normal operation of the machine for many years, please, follow a
few rules:
-
carry out safety inspection according to the schedule (see the Safety Rules
section);
-
in case of intensive use, blow the machine through with dry compressed air
once a year.
Warning!
Blowing through from a too short distance may damage
the electronic components;
-
if there is much dust, clean the cooling lines manually.
