2 Safety

Page 7

When the Spot Gun is used continuously, the welding cables get hot.

To prevent the welder from malfunctioning due to overheating, it is

cooled using the built-in air cooling system. The air cooling system

cools the welding cables, cable ends and the spot gun.

2.3.1 Cooling

2.3 Safety devices

To activate the cooling system, turn the air cooling ON. Compressed air

will flow through the weld cables. It is not necessary to leave on at all

times, but should be used when the weld cables are hot to the touch.

For best results, let the welder rest when cables are too hot. Cooler weld

cables result in better weld performance.
