5. Uputstvo za upotrebu
- Uključeno: Turn on the spot welder. The digital control panel will illuminate.
- Select Material Thickness: Use the control panel to select the thickness of the material you intend to weld. The system will automatically calculate the optimal weld duration. Refer to Image 5.1 for control panel details.
- Pulse Mode (Optional): For high-stress steels, activate the pulse mode via the control panel if required.
- Adjust Parameters (Optional): If necessary, you can manually override the automatically selected weld parameters using the controls.
- Položaj obratka: Place the materials to be welded between the electrodes. Ensure good contact and alignment.
- Initiate Weld: Firmly press the operating lever. The weld will only start when sufficient pressure is applied, preventing accidental firing. Hold the lever until the weld cycle is complete.
- Pregledajte zavar: After the weld, release the lever and carefully remove the workpiece. Inspect the weld for quality and penetration.
- ponoviti: Continue welding as needed, ensuring electrodes remain clean and properly aligned.

6. Održavanje
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your spot welder. Always disconnect the power before performing any maintenance.
- Pregled elektroda: Regularly inspect electrodes for wear, pitting, or mushrooming. Worn electrodes should be dressed or replaced to ensure consistent weld quality.
- čišćenje: Keep the welder clean and free from dust and metal particles. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the casing. Avoid using solvents that could damage the composite materials.
- Arm and Jaw Inspection: Check the welding arms and jaws for any signs of damage or looseness. Ensure all fasteners are tight.
- Inspekcija kablova: Periodically inspect the power cable and welding cables for cuts, abrasions, or signs of heat damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
- Skladištenje: Aparat za zavarivanje čuvajte na suhom i čistom mjestu kada se ne koristi.
7. Otkrivanje problema
If you encounter issues with your Sealey SR123 Spot Welder, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Rješenje |
|---|---|---|
| No power to the welder | Power cable unplugged, circuit breaker tripped, faulty power switch. | Check power connection, reset circuit breaker, contact qualified service personnel if switch is faulty. |
