General Maintenance
This welder has been engineered to need minimal service providing that a few very simple steps are taken to properly
maintain it.
1. Replace INPUT POWER CABLE, ground cable, ground clamp, or torch/electrode cable when damaged or worn.
2. Avoid directing grinding particles towards the welder. These conductive particles can build up inside the machine and
cause severe damage.
3. Periodically clean dust, dirt, grease, etc. from your welder. Every six months or as necessary, remove the side panels
from the welder and use compressed air to blow out any dust and dirt that may have accumulated inside the welder.
WARNING: DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE WHEN CARRYING OUT THIS OPERATION.
4. Check all cables periodically. They must be in good condition and not cracked.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL!
Be aware that the POWER SWITCH, when OFF, does not remove
power from all internal circuitry in the welder. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the welder from its AC
power source and wait several minutes for electrical energy to discharge before removing side panels.
