MAINTENANCE

Your Clarke arc welder is a simple and robust unit, requiring virtually no

maintenance other than the guidelines shown below.

1. Keep the louvre passages clean to avoid a build up of dirt and oxides inside

the machine, which can reduce machine output.

2. Check all cables periodically; they must be in good condition and not

cracked.

3. Always try to avoid getting particles of metal inside the machine since they

could cause short circuits.

4. Periodically clean the inside of the welder with compressed air, ensuring you

wear a mask during the operation.

IMPORTANT - ALWAYS disconnect from the electrical supply before servicing or

cleaning.

automatically cut the power to prevent damage to the machine. Should the cut-

out operate, the amber light on the front panel will glow, and you will have to

wait until the transformer cools down (approx. 30 minutes), when the thermostat

will automatically reset itself and you can continue welding. The thermostat is a

protective safety device and no harm will normally be done to the transformer.

However, if it is frequently over loaded, damage could eventually result.

This product must NOT be disposed of with general waste. Ensure it is disposed of according to all local

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
