    Why is the torch cutting diminished on my ESAB Welding System?
    • A
      Andrea PollardSep 23, 2025
      If the torch cutting is diminished on your ESAB Welding System, consider these potential causes: * The current setting may be incorrect. Check and adjust to the proper setting. * The torch consumables may be worn. Check and replace as needed. * There may be a poor work cable connection to the work piece. Check the connection of the Work Lead to the work piece. * The torch might be moving too fast. Reduce the cutting speed. * There might be excessive oil or water in the torch. Refer to "Check air quality" in section 3 Torch. * There may be failed components in the unit. Return to an authorized service center for repair.

    What to do if FAULT and 70 PSI indicators are flashing on ESAB Cutter?
    • M
      Martin HollowayAug 25, 2025
      If the FAULT and 70 PSI indicators are flashing on your ESAB Cutter, check the following: * Ensure the shield cup is snug (hand tighten it). * Verify the torch ATC is securely fastened to the unit. * There may be a problem in the torch and leads PIP circuit (replace the torch and leads). If the issue persists, it could be due to failed components in the unit.

    Why are the FAULT and 75 PSI indicators flashing on my ESAB Cutmaster 120?
    • M
      matthewbrockAug 26, 2025
      If the FAULT and 75 PSI indicators are flashing on your ESAB Cutter, it could be due to several reasons: * The start signal is active when the ON/OFF SWITCH is turned to the ON position. Start can be active if the hand torch switch or hand pendant switch is held closed, or if the CNC START signal is active low (release the START signal source). * There's a problem in the torch and leads switch circuit (replace the torch and leads). If the issue persists, it may indicate failed components in the unit.

    What to do if TEMPERATURE indicator is ON and FAULT indicator is flashing on ESAB Cutmaster 120 Cutter?
    • A
      ashleyrosarioAug 28, 2025
      If the TEMPERATURE indicator is ON and the FAULT indicator is flashing on your ESAB Cutter, it could be due to: obstructed air flow through or around the unit or the unit's duty cycle has been exceeded (allow unit to cool). If the problem persists, it may be due to failed components in the unit.

    What to do if nothing happens when torch switch is closed on my ESAB Welding System?
    • A
      Amy MooreSep 23, 2025
      If nothing happens when the torch switch or remote switch is closed (or the CNC START signal is active) with no gas flow and the DC LED OFF on your ESAB Welding System, it could be due to: * A problem in the torch and leads switch circuit (Remote pendant switch circuit). Take the Torch and Leads (Remote Pendant) to an Authorized Repair Facility. * The CNC Controller device not providing a Start signal. Contact the Controller manufacturer. * Failed components in the unit. Return to authorized service center for repair or replacement.

    • F
      fgregoryNov 26, 2025
      If the FAULT and 85 PSI indicators are flashing on your ESAB Cutter, here are some things to check: * Ensure the upper O-Ring on the torch head is in the correct position (remove the shield cup from the torch and correct the O-Ring position if necessary). * The torch starter cartridge may be stuck (turn OFF the power supply, bleed down the system pressure, remove the shield cup, tip, and starter cartridge; check the starter cartridge lower end fitting for free movement, and replace it if it doesn't move freely). * Inspect torch consumable parts and replace if necessary. * The torch may be shorted (replace the torch and leads). * A temporary short may be indicated by 5 blinks per second (release the torch switch and reactivate). If the issue persists with a standard rate of blin...

    • B
      bridgetwalshSep 10, 2025
      If the ON / OFF Switch is ON but the A/C Indicator does not light, try the following: - Turn the primary power disconnect switch to the ON position. - Have a qualified person check the primary fuses/breakers, and connect the unit to a known good primary power receptacle. - Replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again, return the unit to an authorized service center for repair or replacement.

    How to troubleshoot an ESAB Welding System when the ON/OFF switch is ON, but the A/C Indicator does not light?
    • R
      Roy GregorySep 12, 2025
      If the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position, but the A/C indicator light doesn't illuminate on your ESAB Welding System, here's what to check: 1. Ensure the primary power disconnect switch is in the ON position. 2. Have a qualified person check the primary fuses/breakers. Also, try connecting the unit to a known good primary power receptacle. 3. Replace the internal fuse. If it blows again, return the unit to an authorized service center. 4. If none of the above steps work, there may be faulty components in the unit. In that case, return it to an authorized service center for repair or replacement.

    • A
      Andrew JohnsonSep 2, 2025
      If the fault and 85 PSI indicators are flashing, you can try the following: - Remove the shield cup from the torch and check the upper O-ring position, correcting it if necessary. - Turn OFF the power supply, bleed down the system pressure, then remove the shield cup, tip, and starter cartridge. Check the starter cartridge lower end fitting for free movement and replace it if it doesn't move freely. - Inspect the torch consumable parts and replace them if necessary. - Release the torch switch and reactivate it.
