7. OPERATION DISTURBANCES
The amount of use and the working environment should be taken into consideration when planning the frequency
of maintenance of the wire feeder unit. Careful use and preventive maintenance will help to ensure trouble-free
operation.
The following maintenance operations should be carried out at least every six months:
Check:
– The wear of the grooves of the feed rolls. Excessive wear of grooves causes problems in wire feed.
– The wear of the wire guide tubes of the wire feeder unit. Badly worn feed rolls and wire guide tubes should
be discarded.
– The wire guide tube in the gun should be set as near the feed rolls as possible, but not touching them and
the wire must follow a straight line from the end of the tube to the groove of the feed roll.
– Reel brake adjustment.
– Electric connections
* Oxidezed couplings must be cleaned
* Loose couplings must be tightened
Clean dust and dirt from the equipment.
In case of problems contact your Kemppi dealer.
