OPERATION
GENERAL PROTECTION
Use only recommended repair and replacement parts and materials specified in the spareparts
list section of this manual.
Use only recommended accessories also specified in the spareparts list section of this manual.
Do not use the Electronic Pin Brazers for applications it was not designed for.
Use the carrying handle to transport the unit from location to location.
CLEANING
Establish a routine to keep the unit as free from dirt as possible – daily, or at each shift change,
for example.
Pin Brazers exposed to rain, sand, or grit-laden air should be cleaned prior to each use.
Keep tool labels and stickers legible.
PREOPERATION PROCEDURES
Before putting a new Pin Brazer into initial service, or after an extended period of being unused,
perform a visual inspection for bent, broken, cracked, missing or worn
components.
STORAGE OF UNIT AND BATTERIES
Store the Electronic Pin Brazing Unit in a place where it is protected from the elements,
abrasive dust, and damage.
The batteries must be stored in a clean and dry location, and preferably in a
temperature-controlled environment. Although these batteries are shipped fully charged
and may be stored for up to 1 years at 25ºC (77ºF).
Periodic checks of their open circuit voltages are recommended.
The warmer the storage environment the more frequent the voltage checks should be.
The batteries must be given a freshening charge once every year or when the OCV drops to
36V (3x12V), whichever occurs earlier.
Failure to observe these conditions may result in greatly reduced capacity and service life.
