MAINTENANCE

Frequency of maintenance operations depends on the operating conditions, how

intensively the welder is used, and how clean or dirty the welding site is (aggressive

atmospheres, etc).

Always inspect the cables, both earth and torch cable, before use to ensure they

are in perfect condition.

Ensure the earth clamp is clean and secured correctly to the cable.

Check the hose for security and serviceability.

As a general rule the covers should br removed and the transformer, and other

components, should be inspected at least annually. Consult your CLARKE dealer

for advice if necessary.

WELDING SHIELD

Always maintain the welding mask in good condition.

If the clear glass protection

lens becomes badly pitted, sufficient to interfere with vision, or cracked, have it

replaced immediately.

Replacement clear and dark lenses are available from your Clarke dealer - see

Parts Lists for details. NEVER use any dark filter lens other than that provided by

CLARKE International, or one with the same certified ‘Optical class’ (degree of

protection).

The shield should always be cleaned with a clean soft cloth after use, ensuring the

lenses are clean. Remove any dust that may have accumulated and store it in a

safe place where it cannot be damaged.

NEVER use a shield that is not in perfect condition.

WELDING TIPS

1. Try to maintain the tip of the nozzle at an angle

of approx. 45

and at a constant

distance of approx 5-7mm from the workpiece.

2. Try to maintain a constant speed of movement with the torch.

3. Do not weld in windy conditions or in an area where ventilation is a problem,

or where air flow fluctuates.

4. ALWAYS keep the wire and nozzle clean...NEVER use rusted wire.

5. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the welding hose.

6. Whenever possible, clean out the wire liner with compressed air when

replacing the wire spool.

7. Periodically remove the dust, using LOW PRESSURE compressed air, within the

casing. Adequate heat dissipation is essential during the welders operation.
