    What to do if my Fimer TM360W cuts out after prolonged use?
    • E
      Emma Ramos DVMAug 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 TM360W Welding System?
    • M
      mpatelAug 20, 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 arc cut-out occurs with Fimer TM360W?
    • J
      Joseph ReyesAug 23, 2025
      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 prevent hot cracks when welding with Fimer TM360W Welding System?
    • M
      Michael DillonSep 3, 2025
      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 TM360W?
    • A
      Alexis HartmanSep 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.
