5.4 Maintenance
* The major difference between inverter arc welder and traditional welder is the inverter
welder has lots of advanced electronic components. What’s more, it is high technology
product. And this requires high skill maintenance.
* It is very essential to do daily maintenance. You must be responsible for examination
and repair. Once you do not have the ability to check it, kindly contact with manufacturer
to acquire the service and support of technology.
The following is the steps for maintaining:
a) Dust removal.
b) Remove dust by professionals with dry and clean compressed air (using a compressor
or Paper Tiger) regularly. Meanwhile, check inter circuit of welding machine regularly
and make sure the cable is connected correctly and connectors are connected tightly. If
scale and loose are found, please give a good polish to them. Then connect them again
tightly. Generally, if welding machine is operating in environment where there is no
heavy accumulated dust, the machine need remove dust once a year. If in the
environment where is polluted with smokes and polluted air, it is needed to be removed
once or even twice of each season.
c) To maintain good contact with cable and plugs.
d) Check up the contact conditions of cable and plug frequently, at least once a month for
stationary use.
Warning!
Due to high voltage in the main circuit of the welder, you need to do the safety
precaution measure to prevent accidental electric shock. Don’t open the shell except
for the professionals. Remember to turn off the power before removing dust. And
don’t meddle with the connections and components when doing this work.
