Care and maintenance
To ensure that the welding machine functions properly, observe the following maintenance rec-
ommendations:
•
Keep the guide rods for the skids or for the heating element holder and milling unit free of
dirt.
•
The electric drives of the trimmer and heating element must be operated only with the volt-
age stated on the type plate.
•
To achieve perfect welding results, it is essential to keep the heating plate clean. If the sur-
face is damaged or shows signs of erosion, the surface must be recoated or replaced. Mate-
rial residues on the heating plate surface reduces the non-sticking properties of the coating.
Remove all residues with non-linting paper and alcohol (heating plate must be cool!).
•
The trimmer is equipped with two double-sided ground knives. When cutting capacity starts
decreasing, the knives can be turned over or replaced by new ones.
•
It must always be ensured that the pipe or workpiece ends to be machined, especially the
face surfaces, are free of soiling because otherwise the service life of the knives will be
shortened.
It is recommendable to have repairs done only by a service workshop or by
the manufacturer!
