What to do if there is no shielding gas flow in my ESAB fabricator 141i Welding System?
Make sure the shielding gas cylinder isn't empty and that the flow meter is correctly set. For workshop welding, set it to 15-25 CFH. If you're welding outdoors, adjust it to 35-46 CFH.
How to fix excessive spatter on my ESAB Welding System?
Excessive spatter can occur if the voltage is too high or too low. To resolve this, decrease the voltage or increase the wirespeed control if the voltage is too high. If the voltage is too low, increase the voltage or decrease the wirespeed.
