  To address MIG (GMAW/FCAW) welding problems with your ESAB Welding System, ensure the MIG gun is connected with the correct polarity. Replace the contact tip if there are arc marks in the bore that cause excessive drag on the wire. Also, verify that you're using the correct shielding gas, gas flow, voltage, welding current, travel speed, and MIG gun angle. Finally, check that the work lead has proper contact with the workpiece.
