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 equip-
ment in "O" position of machine disconnected.
Specialized personnel must handle the machine to car-
ry 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 equip-
ment 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.
KEEP THE WELDING GUN IN GOOD
CONDITIONS FOR USE.
A damaged or worn gun can cause inefficient weld-
ing.

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:
•
•
•
•
•
•
In order to reduce EMC problems, keep in mind the
time of day when welding or other activities will be car-
ried out. Move possible interference victims away from
the welding installation.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FILTERS ARE NEEDED, CONSULT
AND KEEP THEM PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER NEAR
ENVIRONMENT. ELECTROMAGNETIC DIFFICULTIES
MAY EXIST IN OTHER ENVIRONMENTS CAUSED BY
IF THE WELDING PIECE IS GROUNDED, KEEP IN
MIND OPERATOR SAFETY AND NATIONAL
REGULATIONS.
WHEN FINISHING THE WELDING OPERATION
Wiring for power, control, signalling, and tele-
phones.
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.
ALWAYS CONNECT THE MACHINE TO POWER
USING AN EFFICIENT EARTH TAP.
