• Before starting welding, check the gas flow rate from the tip of the torch with a flow meter. If the gas flow is high or low, bring it to the appropriate level for the welding process.

Every 6 Months

• Clean and tighten fasteners such as bolts and nuts.
• Check the electrode clamp and grounding clamp cables.
• Open the side covers of the machine and clean with low pressure dry air. Do not apply compressed air to electronic components at close distance.
• Check the socket to which the power supply plug of the machine is connected. If there is any looseness in the power cable connection points of the socket, remove such looseness. If there is an arc or expansion in the socket slots, replace them with new ones.
• Check the power supply plug of the machine. If there is any looseness in the power cable connection points in the electricity plug, remove such looseness. If there is an arc or deformation at the ends of the plug, replace it with a new one.

NOTE: The above mentioned periods are the maximum ones that should be applied if no problems are encountered in your device. Depending on the work load and contamination of your work environment, you can repeat the above processes more frequently.
