WARNING
CAUTION
Allow static electricity to escape by, for example, touching the metal parts of the case with your
hand before touching the equipment, the conductor of wire and/or the printed circuit board.
Notice About cleaning of plastic parts
Plastic parts may be melted or deformed when they are subjected to organic solvent (benzin, toluene, kerosene,
●
gasoline, etc.).
When cleaning them, soak a soft cloth with a small amount of water or diluted mild detergent for home use, and
●
wring it and use for wiping those parts.
Daily checks are not enough to keep the proper
●
performance of this product for a long time.
Perform the periodic check without fail. It is important
●
to keep the proper performance of this product for a
long time.

Removal of inside dust
Overall check
Cables and hoses
Inspection and
maintenance of
consumable parts
Maintenance and inspection
• To secure physical safety, make sure that a qualified person or a person who is
familiar with the welding machine takes care of a regular check.
• As for the inside check, make sure to conduct it at least 5 minutes after turning the
power off in consideration of electric discharge from a capacitor.
To prevent the electrostatic destruction of semiconductor parts and the
printed circuit board, observe the following.
Remove the top panel before cleaning.
●
Blow off internally-accumulated dirt and dust by compressed air without moisture
●
included (dry air).
Remove the top panel and check the followings and other items that are not covered by
the daily check intensively.
• The presence of odor, discoloration, and traces of heat generation
• Loose connections
• Additional fastening
Regarding the grounding wire (for this product, base material, etc.), input and output
cables, cables for the torch switch, remote control unit, etc., and hoses (for gases, and
for water supply and drainage when using the water-cooling torch), check those items
that are not covered by the daily check (See page 12-1) intensively.
When conducting inspection or maintenance, treat the cooling fan and electrolytic
capacitor as consumable parts as they have a given electrical and mechanical life
respectively.
For example, when they are used under the rated specifications, the life of the cooling
fan is about 10,000 hours, and that of the electrolytic capacitor is about 8,000 hours.
Their actual duration depends on how those items are used by customers.
