  Ethan SchmittJul 29, 2025
  To troubleshoot MIG (GMAW/FCAW) welding problems with your ESAB Welding System, ensure the MIG gun is connected to the correct polarity, consulting the electrode wire manufacturer if needed. Replace the contact tip if it has arc marks causing excessive wire drag. Also, verify that you're using the correct shielding gas, gas flow, voltage, welding current, travel speed, and MIG gun angle. Finally, confirm the work lead has proper contact with the workpiece.
