    What to do if my Fimer TM230 cuts out after prolonged use?
    • J
      jleonAug 17, 2025
      If the welder cuts out after prolonged use, it might have overheated, activating the thermal protection device. Allow the unit to cool down for at least 1-20 minutes.

    Why are my welds porous with Fimer Welding System?
    • J
      Joshua AllisonAug 19, 2025
      Porous welds can occur due to several reasons: * A build-up in the gas nozzle causing a lack of shielding gas, clean away build-up. * Incorrect torch angle. The air gap between the torch and the workpiece must be 5-10 mm. Ensure 60° torch angle. * Gas shortage, increase gas flow. * Damp workpieces, dry workpieces with hot-air gun or suchlike. * Welding Arc too long, shorten the arc.

    What to do if the wire does not feed on my Fimer Welding System?
    • H
      hayleylloydSep 5, 2025
      If the wire does not feed when the wire-feeder roller rotates, check for: * Dirt on the tip of the wire-feeder, blow with compressed air, replace nozzle. * Excessive spool torque, loosen it. * Faulty torch, check wire-feeder liner.
