TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR
CAUTION
This Troubleshooting Guide is provided to help
you locate and repair possible machine malfunc-
tions. Simply follow the three-step procedure list-
ed below.
Step 1. LOCATE PROBLEM (SYMPTOM). Look
under the column labeled “PROBLEM” (SYMP-
TOMS). This column describes possible symp-
toms that the machine may exhibit. Find the list-
ing that best describes the symptom that the
machine is exhibiting. Symptoms are grouped
into four main categories: Output Problems,
Function Problems, Cutting Problems and LED
Function Problems.
Step 2. PERFORM EXTERNAL TESTS.
The second column, labeled “POSSIBLE AREAS
OF MISADJUSTMENT(S)”, lists the obvious
external possibilities that may contribute to the
machine symptom. Perform these tests/checks in
the order listed. In general, these tests can be
conducted without removing the case wrap-
around cover.
Step 3. RECOMMENDED COURSE OF
ACTION The
last column, labeled “Recommended Course of
Action” lists the most likely components that may
have failed in your machine. It also specifies the
appropriate test procedure to verify that the sub-
ject component is either good or bad. If there are
a number of possible components, check the
components in the order listed to eliminate one
possibility at a time until you locate the cause of
your problem.
All of the referenced test procedures referred to in
the Troubleshooting Guide are described in detail
at the end of this chapter. Refer to the
Troubleshooting and Repair Table of Contents to
locate each specific Test Procedure. All of the
referred to test points, components, terminal
strips, etc., can be found on the referenced elec-
trical Wiring Diagrams and Schematics. Refer to
the Electrical Diagrams Section Table of Contents
to locate the appropriate diagram.
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the test/repairs
safely, contact the Lincoln Electric Service Department for electrical troubleshooting assistance before
you proceed. Call 1-888-935-3877.
