8 General Maintenance
Dust
Care should be taken to prevent excessive
build-up of dust and dirt within the welding
power source. It is recommended that at regular
intervals, according to the prevailing conditions,
the equipment covers be removed and any
accumulated dust be removed by the use of dry,
low pressure compressed air, or a vacuum cleaner.
Wirefeed
In order to obtain the most satisfactory welding
results from the G.M.A.W. process, the wirefeed
must be smooth and constant. Most causes
of erratic wirefeed can be cured by basic
maintenance. Check the General Maintenance
section of the Wirefeeder Operators Manual
for more details.
Before removing the power source or
wirefeeder covers, ENSURE that the
equipment is disconnected from the mains
power supply. When the equipment is
energised LETHAL VOLTAGES are present
on the electrical components enclosed in
the power source.
