    Why does the weld have an excessive amount of spatter with my BOC Smootharc Advance II Welding System?
    • B
      Brian GomezSep 23, 2025
      If your weld has an excessive amount of spatter when using your BOC Welding System, the wrong polarity may have been selected. Change to the correct polarity.

    What to do if the arc will not initiate on my BOC Welding System?
    • J
      James JamesAug 25, 2025
      If the arc won't initiate on your BOC Welding System, it could be due to damaged, loose, or undersized cables and clamps. Inspect and replace any damaged or undersized cables and clamps.

    Why is there no gas flow and porosity in the weld with my BOC Smootharc Advance II Welding System?
    • J
      Joseph BakerAug 26, 2025
      If you're experiencing no gas flow and porosity in the weld with your BOC Welding System, the gas cylinder might be closed or empty, or the cylinder valves could be faulty. Open the gas cylinder or replace the faulty valves.

    How to stop the overheating of connectors and lugs in my BOC Welding System?
    • M
      Matthew MurphyAug 27, 2025
      Overheating of connectors and lugs in your BOC Welding System is often due to loose or badly crimped connectors. Tighten or properly crimp the connectors to resolve this.

    What to do if there is erratic or no output control on my BOC Welding System?
    • E
      Erin FloydAug 27, 2025
      If you experience erratic or no output control on your BOC Welding System, the switches might be damaged or incorrectly set for the application. In this case, repair or correctly set the switches.

    Why does my BOC Smootharc Advance II Welding System have leaks and porosity in the weld?
    • M
      matthewgallegosSep 15, 2025
      If you notice leaks at connections or in the hose, and porosity in the weld when using your BOC Welding System, it could be due to poorly fitted ‘o’ clips, a damaged hose, or air being drawn into the gas stream. Check and replace the ‘o’ clips and hose.

    How to fix inadequate gas cover due to restricted joint accessibility with my BOC Smootharc Advance II Welding System?
    • D
      Daniel GrossSep 13, 2025
      If you have inadequate gas cover and restricted joint accessibility with your BOC Welding System, the nozzle might be too large or too small, or of an incorrect length or shape. Select a correct size and shape for the nozzle.

    What causes arcing between contact tip, nozzle and workpiece in my BOC Welding System?
    • E
      Emma Tapia PhDSep 14, 2025
      If you're experiencing arcing between the contact tip and nozzle, and between the nozzle and workpiece with your BOC Welding System, it's likely that no nozzle insulator is fitted. Fit a nozzle insulator to resolve this issue.

    What causes wire restriction, gas leaks, and no trigger control in my BOC Welding System?
    • J
      Jessica PetersonSep 5, 2025
      If you're experiencing wire restriction, gas leaks, and no trigger control with your BOC Welding System, the universal adapter may not be correctly mounted or secured, the internal guide may be the wrong size, or the contact pins may be bent. Secure the universal adapter properly and check for the correct size.

    What to do if there is no gas flow and gas leaks at regulator in my BOC Welding System?
    • P
      paulgarciaSep 3, 2025
      If there is no gas flow and you notice gas leaks at the regulator body or cylinder valve of your BOC Welding System, it could be due to a blocked inlet stem, a leaking inlet stem to body thread, or the bullnose not properly seated in the cylinder case. Unblock the inlet stem and check the seating of the bullnose.
