MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

Before starting any cleaning, or maintenance procedures on the welding ma-

chine, make sure that it is switched OFF and disconnected from the mains

supply.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the welder. Refer to qualified service personnel if

any internal maintenance is required.

Check cables, clamps and electrode holder regularly and repair or replace as necessary.

Note these items are considered wear items and are not covered by warranty.

THERMOSTATIC PROTECTION

This welder is automatically protected from overheating by a thermal overload cut out protec-

tor. If the transformer overheats the overload cut out protector will activate and cut off. The

amber light will illuminate to show that the cut out has operated.

After cooling the lamp will extinguish and the protector will reconnect the supply circuit. The

welder will be ready for further use.

NOTE: If the duty cycle of the machine is exceeded the thermostatic protection will activate.
