MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized
personnel) may remove the machine cover.
Wire feed unit
Check regularly that the wire feed unit is not clogged with dirt.
●
Cleaning and replacement of the wire feed unit mechanism's worn parts
should take place at regular intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire
feed. Note that if pre-tensioning is set too hard, this can result in abnormal
wear on the pressure roller, feed roller and wire guide.
The brake hub
The hub is adjusted when delivered, if readjustment is required, follow the
instructions below. Adjust the brake hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire
feed stops.
●
Adjusting the braking torque
:
- Remove the spool locking lever by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Insert an allen key into the bolt in the hub.
- Turn the springs counter-clockwise to reduce the braking torque
- Turn the springs clockwise to increase the braking torque.
Welding gun
●
Cleaning and replacement of the welding gun's wear parts should take
place at regular intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feed. Blow the
wire guide clean regularly and clean the contact tip.
