Cleaning (Fig. 5)
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry
air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the plastic materials) used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
Under normal operating conditions, the device requires only a
minimum of care and maintenance. However, it is vital to observe
some important points to ensure the device remains in a usable
condition for many years.
- Check the charger lead, welding torch, welding cable and
grounding (earthing) connection for damage.
- Check that the device has an all-round clearance of 0.5 m
(1 ft. 8 in.) to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.
CAUTION: Air inlets and outlets must never be covered, not
even partially.
Every 2 months. Clean all air filters (C).
