MAINTENANCE
Your Clarke arc welder is a simple and robust unit, requiring virtually no maintenance
other than the guidelines shown below.
1. Keep the louvre passages clean to avoid a build up of dirt and oxides inside
the machine, which can reduce machine output.
2. Check all cables periodically; they must be in good condition and not
cracked.
3. Always try to avoid getting particles of metal inside the machine since they
could cause short circuits.
4. Periodically clean the inside of the welder with compressed air, ensuring you
wear a mask during the operation.
IMPORTANT - ALWAYS disconnect from the electrical supply before servicing or
cleaning.
THE WELDING SHIELD
Always maintain the welding mask in good condition. If the clear glass protection lens
becomes badly pitted, sufficient to interfere with vision, or cracked, have it replaced
immediately. Replacement clear and dark lenses are available from your Clarke dealer
- see Parts Lists for details. NEVER use any dark filter lens other than that provided by
CLARKE International, or one with the same certified ‘Optical class’ (degree of protection).
The shield should always be cleaned with a clean soft cloth after use, ensuring the lenses
are clean. Remove any dust that may have accumulated and store it in a safe place
where it cannot be damaged. NEVER use a shield that is
not in perfect condition.
THERMAL OVERLOAD
If the duty cycle of the welder is exceeded, a thermostat will automatically cut
power to the unit to prevent damage. You must wait until the transformer cools
sufficiently for the thermostat to reset, at which time you may resume welding. This
could take approximately 30 minutes.
Please note that if the overload operates too frequently, damage to the machine
will inevitably result.
When the thermal overload has intervened, the amber light on front of the machine
will illuminate.
