What to do if the ground clamp gets hot on my Forney 298 Welding System?
- JJoshua AndersonJul 28, 2025
If the ground clamp, cable, or welding cable of your Forney Welding System gets hot, it could be due to a bad or loose ground connection. Inspect the connection of the ground cable to the torch or electrode holder, and ensure the cable connection to the ground clamp is secure, tightening if necessary. Also, make sure the ground clamp is properly connected to the workpiece, ensuring it's attached to clean, bare metal (free from paint or rust).
