7) MAINTENANCE
7.1) General
In normal environment and operation conditions, Tubmatic does not require any special maintenance
service. You must only clean it internally at least once a month, with low pressure, dry and oil-free
compressed air.
After cleaning with compressed air, check the tightening of electrical and components connections. Check
for possible cracks in the insulation of electrical wires or cables, including welding cable and other
insulators. Replace them in case they are defective.
N.B.: when working with damaged or worn out isolation wires or cables, the
non-isolated parts can become in contact with an earthed part or object.
The electric arc which results from this contact can wound the eyes if not
protected and also cause a fire. A body contact with a part or conductor
without isolation can cause a violent electric harzard, burns and even death.
7.2) Repairing
To assure perfect functioning and performance of the ESAB equipment, use only original
replacement parts supplied by ESAB or the ones with its approval. The use of non-original or not-
approved parts leads to warranty cancellation.
Replacement parts can be purchased at ESAB authorised services or sales branches as indicated at
the last page of this manual.You must always indicate model and series number.
