7.WORK OPERATION

8.MAINTENANCE

8.1.Preventive maintenance

Maintenance of SOLDAmaq EC is very simple. It consists of the following:

Clean the band saw support each time after welding, either with compressed air or with a cloth. They should only pass it lightly, without any cleaning additive.
This will greatly extend the life of the supports due to wear due to friction with the remains of the weld.

Use the equipment only in dry environments. The temperature must be between 5 and 40ºC. A relative humidity greater than 90%, as well as a saline environment, would cause premature corrosion of the machine.
