How to minimize material warping with Eastwood Welding System?
To minimize material warping with your Eastwood Welding System, clamp the workpiece tightly and weld while clamps are in place. Add more tack welds and spread the welding out around the area, using stitch welding techniques, alternating sides, and allowing the pieces to cool between passes.
What to do if Eastwood Welding System shows Err-01 or Err-02 and will not function?
If the Eastwood Welding System's digital display shows Err-01 or Err-02 and will not function, it's likely the duty cycle has been exceeded. Allow the welder to cool down for a minimum of 15 minutes before attempting to use it again.
Why is there intermittent welding arc on my Eastwood Welding System?
To resolve an intermittent welding arc with your Eastwood Welding System, verify the input voltage is correct (240 Volt AC, 50 Amp or 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp). Check the drive roller size matches the wire size. Ensure the ground connection is clean and secure. Tighten the driver roller tensioner if the wire is slipping. Replace the contact tip if it's the wrong size or worn.
How to troubleshoot wire not feeding on Eastwood MP200i?
If the wire won't feed on your Eastwood Welding System, first, ensure the mode is set to MIG. Check if the welder is in Spool Gun mode unintentionally, or if it needs to be in Spool Gun mode for your setup. Tighten the drive roller tension if the wire is slipping. If the duty cycle has been exceeded, let the welder cool for at least 15 minutes.
How to prevent electrode sticking with Eastwood MP200i?
If the electrode is sticking when using your Eastwood Welding System, keep the ignited end of the electrode further from the weld joint and adjust the current to a higher setting.
How to improve poor penetration on aluminum with Eastwood Welding System?
To improve poor penetration on aluminum with your Eastwood Welding System, increase the amperage setting and decrease the AC balance to increase penetration and decrease the cleaning effect.
How to prevent contamination in weld bead with Eastwood MP200i Welding System?
To prevent contamination in the weld bead when using the Eastwood Welding System, remove any contamination from the tungsten by breaking off the contaminated section and resharpening it. Clean the filler metal and base metal to remove any oil, debris, or moisture. If the base metal is cold rolled steel, remove any mill scale.
How to stop melting tungsten on Eastwood MP200i Welding System?
To prevent melting tungsten with your Eastwood Welding System, adjust the flow rate of the shielding gas and check for loose fittings. Decrease the AC balance to increase penetration and decrease the cleaning effect. Increase the tungsten diameter and only use 100% Argon when TIG welding.
What causes lack of penetration when using Eastwood MP200i Welding System?
For lack of penetration issues with your Eastwood Welding System, adjust the voltage and wire speed to a higher setting. Slow your MIG gun travel speed, making sure to pull or drag the molten metal puddle. Shorten the length of exposed wire by moving the contact tip closer to the workpiece. Note that the Elite AC/DC MP200i is rated for a maximum thickness of 3/8”. For heavy gauge metals, increase the welding gap and bevel the edges.
What to do if Eastwood MP200i Welding System digital displays show ERR -02-?
If the Eastwood Welding System digital displays show ERR -02-, allow the welder to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes or until the error display goes out. If the error is still flashing after 15 minutes, restart the welder.
