What to do if my Fimer Welding System cuts out after prolonged use?
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?
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 arc cut-out occurs with Fimer TM260 Welding System?
Arc cut-out can be caused by: * Loose earth clamp grip, tighten clamp grip. * Short circuit between contact nozzle and gas hose, clean or replace contact nozzle and wire-feed nozzle.
How to reduce excessive splashes from Fimer TM260 Welding System?
Excessive splashes can be due to: * Current being too high, decrease the current value. * Non-optimized inductance value, increase the inductance value. * Torch being too inclined, straighten the torch.
How to fix jerky wire feed on Fimer Welding System?
Jerky or intermittent wire-feed can be caused by: * Faulty gas nozzle, replace it. * Scorched gas nozzle, replace it. * Dirt in wire-feeder roller groove, clean it. * Worn wire-feeder roller groove, replace it.
How to improve penetration with Fimer TM260?
Insufficient penetration can happen if: * The current is too low, increase the current. * There is inconstant wire feeding, see the above paragraph. * Edges are too apart from each other. * Bevel is too small.
How to prevent hot cracks when welding with Fimer TM260 Welding System?
Hot cracks can be caused by: * Damp workpieces, clean them. * Welding with very high heat supply, decrease the welding current. * Impure welding wire, change the welding wire. * Base material with high content of carbon, sulphur and other impurities.
What to do if the wire does not feed on my Fimer TM260 Welding System?
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.
How to resolve insufficient melting with Fimer TM260 Welding System?
Insufficient melting can occur due to: * Abrupt movements of the torch, move the torch smoothly. * Non-optimized inductance value, change the inductance value. * Oxidized workpieces, clean them.
What causes breakages when using Fimer Welding System?
Breakages can be caused by: * Unsuitable wire, change the type of wire. * Bad quality of the workpieces.
