Why is the arc unstable and causing large spatter on my BOC Smootharc Multi 180 Welding System?
An unstable arc and large spatter are often due to incorrect welding parameters, meaning the current and voltage aren't properly matched. You should adjust these parameters. Also, the contact tip, wire feed rolls, wire type, and lining may not be compatible. Inspect and replace them with the correct wear parts and wire.
What to do if there is no shielding gas in my BOC Welding System?
If you're not getting any shielding gas, ensure the gas hose is connected properly, the regulator is set correctly, the cylinder valve is open, and the cylinder has gas.
What to do if my BOC Smootharc Multi 180 has power and wire feed, but no arc?
If your welding system has power and the wire feeds normally, but there's no arc, first check the work return lead connection to the job to make sure it's secure. Also, excessive oil or rust on the workpiece can prevent an arc. Remove any grease or rust from the workpiece.
How to troubleshoot no wire feed when pressing the torch trigger on my BOC Welding System?
If no wire is feeding when you press the torch trigger, there could be a couple of reasons. First, investigate the power supply to ensure the unit is receiving power. If power is confirmed, the torch trigger itself might be broken, in which case you should replace the torch.
