AWELD160 ARC Welder Assembly & Operating Instructions
9
Failure to carefully observe duty cycle limitations can easily over stress a Welder’s power generation system,
contributing to premature Welder failure.
This Welder is equipped with an internal thermal protection system to help prevent over stressing the unit. When the
unit overheats, it automatically shuts down, then automatically returns to service when it cools down.
Note: Once the unit returns to service, follow a more conservative duty cycle routine to help prevent excess wear to
the Welder.
TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning. Wear safety eyewear before cleaning. Used compressed dry
air to blow off dust and debris. Use a soft bristle brush if compressed air is not available.
Applying excessive force can overload the welder, decrease the life and increase the wear on the tool.
Some chemicals can damage the product. Do not use harsh chemicals such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, paint thinner, etc.
A qualified repair technician must perform any tool service or repair.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in injury. Use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-prong) outlets.
If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry the amount of current
necessary for your power tool.
If not, your tool may experience a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or
overheating. For example, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
