4. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS. RECOMMENDATIONS.
In order for the equipment to have a long life we
must follow some essential rules for maintenance and
use. Abide by these recommendations.
CORRECT MAINTENANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT WILL
AVOID A GREAT PERCENTAGE OF FAULTS.
4.1 MACHINE MAINTENANCE. GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Before carrying out any operation on the machine or
welding cables, we must place the switch of the
equipment in "O" position of machine disconnected.
Specialized personnel must handle the machine to
carry out maintenance and repair operations
.
)
BLOW THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE WITH
COMPRESSED AIR FROM TIME TO TIME.
The accumulation of metal dust on the inside is one
of the main causes of breakdowns in this type of
equipment as they are subject to a great amount of
pollution. As an essential measure, the equipment must
be kept separate from the welding place, not placing it
a short distance away. Keeping the machine clean and
dry is essential. The inside must be blown as required.
We must avoid any anomaly or deterioration due to
the accumulation of dust. Blow the inside of the
equipment with clean dry compressed air. As routine to
guarantee that the equipment works correctly, check
that once the machine has been blown the electrical
connections are still properly tightened.
WARNING!: SEPARATE THE MACHINE SUFFICIENTLY
FROM THE WORKSTATION.
PREVENT METAL DUST ENTERING THE EQUIPMENT.
)
LOCATE THE EQUIPMENT IN A PLACE
WHERE CLEAN AIR IS CONSTANTLY REPLACED.
The machine ventilations must be kept free. It must
be located in a place where clean air is renewed.
)
THE MACHINE MUST ALWAYS BE OPERATED
WITH THE HOUSING ON.
)
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE MACHINE IF IT
IS HOT.
If you have finished the work do not disconnect the
machine immediately, wait until the inner cooling
system has totally cooled it.
)
KEEP THE WELDING ACCESSORIES IN GOOD
CONDITIONS FOR USE.
)
ONCE THE WELDING OPERATION HAS
FINISHED AVOID DIRECT CONTACT OF THE
ELECTRODE-HOLDER CLAMP WITH THE
WELDING EARTH CLAMP AND THE OTHER PARTS
CONNECTED TO IT.
4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REDUCING
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (CEM) PROBLEMS.
The user is responsible for the installation and use of
the welding material according to the instructions in
this manual and the following recommendations.
Before installing the welding material, the presence
of the following in the surrounding area must be kept
in mind:
•
Wiring for power, control, signalling, and
telephones.
•
Radio and television receivers and transmitters.
•
Computers and other control equipment.
•
Critical security equipment.
•
People with pace makers or hearing aids.
•
Measurement and calibration equipment.
In order to reduce EMC problems, keep in mind the
time of day when welding or other activities will be
carried out. Move possible interference victims away
from the welding installation.
ALWAYS CONNECT THE MACHINE TO POWER
USING AN EFFICIENT EARTH TAP.
IF PROTECTIVE DEVICES OR SUPPLEMENTARY
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FILTERS ARE NEEDED,
CONSULT OUR TECHNICAL SERVICE.
PERFORM THE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.
USE THE SHORTEST WELDING WIRES POSSIBLE AND
KEEP THEM PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER NEAR
THE FLOOR.
IF THE WELDING PIECE IS GROUNDED, KEEP IN
MIND OPERATOR SAFETY AND NATIONAL
REGULATIONS.
