Troubleshooting
• Keep the welder least 11,8” away from any walls at to
allow air circulation.
• The welder will recuperate once the temperature gets
back to the right range to operate.
• The welder will recuperate once the temperature gets
back to the right range to operate.
• Go to a Authorized Service Center
to replace the potentiometer.
• Go to a Authorized Service Center
to replace the switch.
• Go to a Authorized Service Center
to repair the fan.
• Check all the connections.
• The welder will recuperate once the temperature is
back into the adequate range to operate.
• Go to a Authorized Service Center
to replace the switch.
• Replace the electrode holder with another one with more capacity.
• Replace the cable with another one within the requirements
(see page 3).
• Clean the rust accumulation and tighten the connections.
• Clean the rust accumulation and tighten the connections.
• There is no fault. It is normal that power supply gets cut when
the welder goes above its normal working temperature. Wait
until the temperature is back to the adequate working range to
turn it on again.
The thermal protection
light is ON.
The current adjusting
control is not working.
The fan is not working
or turns very slowly.
There is no open
circuit voltage.
The electrode holder is
too hot; conne
and - are hot.
Energy source is off.
• The welder has no adequate ventilation.
• Environment temperature is too high.
• The welder has been used longer than the
recommended work cycle.
• The potentiometer is broken.
• Faulty switch.
• Faulty fan.
• Fault in the connections.
• High Voltage, low voltage or one phase is
missing.
• The welder is overheating.
• Faulty switch.
• The electrode capacity is too low.
• The cable gauge is too small.
• Loose connections.
• More resistance between the
electrode holder and the cable.
• The welder is hover-heated.
Problem
Cause
Solution
If after all the recommended actions have been carried out the problems persist,
contact a Authorized Service Center.
• The correct use and regular cleansing extend the useful life of the welder.
• Only qualified personnel shall carry out repairs. We recommend visiting a
Authorized Service Center to repair your welder, get supplies or accessories.
CAUTION
Regular Maintenance
• Clean dust from the welder with compressed air. If there
is too much dust present, clean immediately. Under
normal conditions clean once a year. If the welder is
exposed to a lot of dust, cleaning should be carried out
every three months.
• Altogether with cleaning make a checkup to assure there
are no loose parts or components in the welder.
• Keep the welder wiring in good repair.
• The plug shall be checked before each use.
Storage
• In the event the welder will be stored a long period of
time, keep it in a dry, well ventilated place to prevent
humidity getting inside, or to generate rust or toxic gas.
Storage temperature vary between -13 °F to 131 °F and
relative humidity shall not be over 90%.
