Why welding arc cannot be established in MIG mode on my ESAB EMP 210?
- C
  Courtney ValenciaJul 29, 2025
  If a welding arc cannot be established in MIG mode, it could be due to the MIG gun polarity lead not being connected to a welding output terminal. Ensure the MIG gun polarity lead is connected to either the positive or negative welding output terminal as needed. Another possible cause is poor or no work lead contact. Clean the work clamp area to ensure good electrical contact.

How to fix inconsistent wire feed on ESAB Welding System?
- C
  Casey BradleyAug 2, 2025
  Inconsistent wire feed can be caused by several factors: 1. A worn or dirty contact tip might be the culprit, so replace it if necessary. 2. Check the feed roll for wear and replace if needed. 3. Excessive brake tension on the wire reel hub can also cause issues, so reduce the brake tension on the spool hub. 4. Lastly, a worn, kinked, or dirty conduit liner can cause problems; clean or replace it.

What to do if ESAB EMP 210 won't start welding when the torch trigger is pressed?
- A
  Abigail JacksonAug 8, 2025
  If your ESAB Welding System doesn't start when the torch trigger is pressed, even though the power is on, it could be due to the power source not being in the correct mode. Set the power source to the correct mode of operation using the process selection switch. Alternatively, the torch trigger might be faulty, in which case you should repair or replace the torch trigger switch/lead.

Why ESAB EMP 210 Welding System will not feed wire in MIG mode?
- O
  oconnorsaraAug 13, 2025
  If your ESAB Welding System isn't feeding wire in MIG mode, it could be due to electrode wire stuck in the conduit liner or contact tip (burnback jam). Check for a clogged or kinked MIG gun conduit liner or a worn contact tip, and replace any faulty components. If the issue persists, there may be an internal fault in the power source, and you should contact an authorized ESAB service technician.

How to stop welding wire from continuing to feed after releasing the torch trigger on ESAB EMP 210 Welding System?
- J
  Jeremy AndrewsAug 17, 2025
  If the welding wire continues to feed after releasing the torch trigger, the trigger mode selection switch might be in 4T latch mode. Change the trigger mode selection switch from 4T latch mode to 2T normal mode. Another cause could be shorted torch trigger leads, so repair or replace the torch trigger switch/lead.

What to do if fault indicator is illuminated on ESAB EMP 210 Welding System?
- J
  Joshua SandersAug 23, 2025
  If the fault indicator is illuminated and the power source won't start welding when the torch trigger is pressed, the duty cycle of the power source may have been exceeded. Leave the power source switched ON and allow it to cool down. Do not start welding until the fault indicator is turned off.
