Your MIDWEST FASTENERS welder is designed for long service with
minimal care. Ordinary common sense maintenance will keep it operating
efficiently. The following are a few tips on preventive maintenance.
1. Treat the cables with respect. Avoid sharp bends or kinks which may
break the cables. DO NOT use the cables as a “towline” to drag or lift
the controller. Avoid damaging or straining the cables at connectors
where they enter the gun or controller. Never tie-off or heavily pull on
cables in any way.
2. Unit fan and louvers on the sides of the controller should be free from
obstructions at all times to prevent overheating.
3. Keep the controller and gun clean and dry as well as free of grease,
moisture, dust and dirt. Do not lubricate any part of your Eagle
weld gun.
4. The weld gun is for welding pins and studs only. Do not use the weld
gun as a multipurpose tool (i.e., Hammer—banging pins to test welds
or break studs, Scraper—removing rust, scale or weld splatter, etc.)
When troubleshooting the Eagle, the following precautions must be observed.
1. Controller power must be
TURNED OFF and unplugged!
