Maintenance
• The correct use and regular cleansing extend the useful life of the welder.
CAUTION
• Only qualified personnel shall carry out repairs. We recommend visiting a
Authorized Service Center to repair your welder, get supplies or accessories.
Regular Maintenance
• Clean dust from the welder with compressed air. If there
is too much dust present, clean immediately. Under
normal conditions clean once a year. If the welder is
exposed to a lot of dust, cleaning should be carried out
every three months.
• Altogether with cleaning make a checkup to assure there
are no loose parts or components in the welder.
• Keep the welder wiring in good repair.
• The plug shall be checked before each use.

Storage
• In the event the welder will be stored a long period of
time, keep it in a dry, well ventilated place to prevent
humidity getting inside, or to generate rust or toxic gas.
Storage temperature vary between -13 °F to 131 °F and
relative humidity shall not be over 90%.
Solution
• Keep the welder least 11.8" away from any walls at to
allow air circulation.

• There is no fault. It is normal that power supply gets cut when
the welder goes above its normal working temperature. Wait
until the temperature is back to the adequate working range to
turn it on again.
• Exchange the Output line.
