WT6000 Cabinet Safety Concerns


before you apply pOWER!

DANGERlethal voltages are present when applying power to the weld control. exposure to high voltage will cause severe electrical burns and possibly death.

only qualified maintenance Personnel should perform service on this machine!

 

DANGERnever drill into a weld control cabinet without first removing power from the cabinet and properly protecting internal components from metal debris / shavings .

failure to follow this requirement may lead to a possible explosion hazard and void the warranty.

 

DANGERensure proper flow rate, temperature and chemistry of cooling water before running part production.

 

obstructed water paths or low water flow may damage the welding equipment.

 

DANGERprinted circuit boards must be completely powered down prior to performing any maintenance, troubleshooting or replacement.

 

ESD WARNINGcircuit boards over 24v should be handled with care as they pose a potential shock hazard to the operator.

 

 

 

WARNINGverify the voltage taps on the control transformer set correctly for your plant line voltage prior to applying power to the weld control cabinet.

 

 

DANGERnever use a personal ground strap when working with voltages above 220V.

 

 

 

NOTE: Other instructions:

  • Use CU 75° rated cable only.
  • Adjust the magnetic trip setting of the circuit breaker to a proper value based on your weld application.
