MAIN SWITCH BOARD TEST

WARNING

Unauthorized repairs performed on this equipment may result in danger to the technician or machine operator and will invalidate your factory warranty.

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 trou- bleshooting assistance before you proceed. Call 1-888-935-3877.

TEST DESCRIPTION

This test will help determine if the “power section” of the switch boards are functioning correctly. This test will NOT indicate if the entire PC board is functional. This resistance test is preferable to a voltage test with the machine energized because this board can be damaged easily. In addition, it is dangerous to work on this board with the machine ener- gized.

MATERIALS NEEDED
