CAUTION
Electrical current!
The following work must always be carried out with the power source switched off.
Disconnect the welding torch from the connected device, before maintenance.
6.1
Daily maintenance tasks
• Purge the wire guide from the direction of the Euro torch connector with oil- and condensate-free
compressed air or shielding gas.
• Purge the wire guide from the direction of the Euro torch connector with oil- and condensate-free
compressed air or shielding gas.
• Check that coolant connections are tight.
• Check that the welding torch, and where applicable the power source cooling, are functioning
correctly.
• Check the coolant level.
• Check torch, hose package and power connections for exterior damage and replace or have repaired
by specialist staff as necessary!
• Check the wearing parts in the torch.
• Check that all connections and wearing parts are hand-tight and tighten if necessary.
• Spray the gas nozzle with a splash protection agent.
6.2
Monthly maintenance tasks
• Check the coolant container for sludge deposits and check the coolant for cloudiness.
Clean the coolant container if contaminated, and change the coolant.
• If the coolant is dirty, rinse through the welding torch alternately several times with fresh coolant using
the coolant return and supply.
• Check the wire guide.
• Check and clean the welding torch. Deposits in the torch can cause short circuits and have a negative
impact on the welding result, ultimately causing damage to the torch.
• Check that all screw and plug connections and replaceable parts are secured correctly, tighten if
necessary.
Connect welding torch after performing the maintenance and rinse using the "Gas Test" with
shield gas.
