5.4.2. Welding
- press the button “5“ – the segment “A“ of the display “6“ flashes
- set the required welding current with the control “8“
- start the protective gas with the control on the torch
- start welding by touching W-electrode to the weldment
- welding is finished by taking away the electrode from the weldment
Note: in this case it is convenient to use the remote control (see Chapter 5.2.2.). It is
possible to carry out the start at lower current and when finishing welding it is
possible to lower the current. Thus the W-electrode is saved.
6. Maintenance
It is necessary to carry out a regular maintenance of the source, welding cables and
torch to ensure trouble-free operation.
Prior to every maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the source from mains by
unplugging the fork of the cable from the plug.
6.1. Everyday control
This activity is carried out by the source operator. It is checked:
-
state of the main cable
-
state of the welding cables and torch
-
cleanness of the source
6.2. Regular special inspections
The control is made by a worker determined by the source owner for this activity. The
worker must have a corresponding electro-technical qualification.
When inspecting the worker follows the requirements EN ČSN 05 0630.
-
remove the upper cover of the source and blow settled impurities out with dry
compressed air depending on the way of use and place where the source works,
but twice a year at least
-
turn to a special service or producer to remove all possible failures
6.3. Regular revisions
When doing this activity, proceed according to point 3.10. Chapter.3
7. Disposal
The source does not contain any special or dangerous wastes. Therefore it is
possible to use the metal and plastic parts for recycling, the rest can be dumped
when finishing the service life.
