  An unstable welding arc in your Chicago Electric Welding System can result from several factors: loose electrode handle cable or ground cable, a damaged electrode handle or loose connection within it, or an incorrect current setting. Check to ensure all connections are tight. Have a qualified technician inspect and repair or replace the electrode handle if necessary. Also, make sure the current setting matches the recommended setting.

  If the power switch on your Chicago Electric Welding System doesn't light up when switched on, it could be due to the unit not being properly connected to the outlet, or the outlet itself may be unpowered. Verify the voltage at the outlet and the connection to the outlet. If there's no voltage, check the circuit breaker/GFCI devices and reset them after determining and fixing the cause. Also, verify that the circuit is designed to supply the required input.
