CHAPTER 4
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS. RECOMMENDATIONS.
In order for the equipment to have a long life
we must follow some essential rules for maintenance
and use. Abide by these recommendations.
CORRECT MAINTENANCE OF THE
EQUIPMENT WILL AVOID A GREAT PERCENTAGE
OF FAULTS
4.1. MACHINE MAINTENANCE. GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Before carrying out any operation on the
machine or gun, we must place switch A of the
equipment (Fig. 3) in "0" position of machine
disconnected.
Working on the machine to carry out
maintenance and repair operations must be done by
specialised personnel.
)
- BLOW THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE WITH
COMPRESSED AIR FROM TIME TO TIME
La acumulación interior de polvo metálico
es una de las principales causas de averías en este
tipo de equipos ya que están sometidos a una gran
polución. Como medida fundamental debe
separarse el equipo del lugar de soldadura,
evitando una colocación a corta distancia.
Mantener la máquina limpia y seca es
fundamental. Debe soplarse el interior con la
frecuencia que sea necesaria. Debemos evitar
cualquier anomalía o deterioro por la acumulación
de polvo. Sople con aire comprimido limpio y seco
el interior del equipo. Como rutina que garantize
un correcto funcionamiento del equipo debe
comprobarse que una vez soplado éste las
conexiones eléctricas siguen correctamente
apretadas.
The accumulation on the inside of metal dust
is one of the main causes of breakdowns in this type
of equipment as they are subject to a great amount
of pollution. As an essential measure, the equipment
must be kept separate from the welding place,
placing it some distance away. Keeping the machine
clean and dry is essential. The inside must be blown
as required. We must avoid any anomaly or
deterioration due to the accumulation of dust. Blow
the inside of the equipment with clean dry
compressed air. As a routine to guarantee the
correct operation of the equipment, after blowing the
equipment, make sure the electrical connections are
correctly tightened.
)
- PLACE THE EQUIPMENT SOMEWHERE
WHERE CLEAN AIR IS RENEWED.
The machine ventilations must be kept free. It
must be located in a place where clean air is
renewed.
)
- KEEP THE MACHINE PANELS CLOSED
)
- DO NOT DISCONNECT THE MACHINE IF IT
IS HOT.
If you have finished work do not disconnect
the machine immediately. Wait until the inside
cooling system has totally cooled it down.
)
- MAINTAIN THE WELDING ACCESSORIES IN
GOOD CONDITIONS FOR USE
)
- DO NOT EXCEED THE EQUIPMENT
OPERATING FACTOR
Control the heating of the outside shell. If you
notice abnormal heating stop the welding process.
)
- WHEN FINISHING THE WELDING
OPERATION AVOID DIRECT CONTACT OF THE
ELECTRODE-HOLDER CLIP WITH THE
WELDING GROUND AND THE REST OF PARTS
CONNECTED TO IT.
