Wait at least another 15 minutes after the thermal protector opens before
resuming welding. Starting before this additional time may result in a
shortened duty cycle.
WELDING
The welding unit is ready for use. Ensure all safety equipment and procedures
are in place before proceeding. Welding outside or in a draft may require a
wind break to keep the shielding gas from being blown from the weld.
SHUTTING DOWN THE WELDING UNIT
Once the welding job is complete, the welding unit and gas cylinder must be
shut down. The MIG gun/torch nozzle will still be hot. Take precautions to avoid
a burn injury.
1.
Turn off the welding unit and unplug from power source.
2. Place the MIG gun/torch down so the hot nozzle is not touching anything
flammable.
3.
Disconnect the ground clamp to prevent an electrical circuit from forming.
4.
Store the welding unit when it has cooled.
MAINTENANCE
1.
Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier to
control and will have fewer problems.
2. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
3.
Inspect the tool fittings, alignment and hoses and power supply cord
periodically. Have damaged or worn components repaired or replaced by
an authorized technician.
4. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Replace damaged parts immediately.
5.
Keep the wire drive compartment lid closed at all times unless the wire
needs to be changed or the drive tension needs adjusting.
6. Keep all consumables such as contact tips, nozzles and torch liner clean
and replace when necessary (see Consumable Maintenance and
Troubleshooting).
7.
Replace ground cable, ground clamp or torch assembly when damaged or worn.
8.
Periodically clean dust, dirt, grease, etc. from your welding unit. Every six
months or as necessary, remove the side panels from the welding unit and air-
blow any dust and dirt that may have accumulated inside the welding unit.
