Irregular wire speed
Braking force has been set too high
Loosen the brake
Inner liner in the welding torch faulty
Check the inner liner for kinks, dirt, etc. and replace if necessary

Wirefeed issues
For applications with long hosepacks
Improper laying of the hosepack
Lay hosepack as straight as possible while avoiding tight bending radii
Cause:
Remedy:
Welding torch gets very hot
Welding torch is inadequately sized
Observe duty cycle and load limits
For water-cooled systems only: Coolant flow too low
Check coolant level, coolant flow rate, coolant contamination, etc.
For more detailed information, refer to the Operating Instructions for

Remedy:
Poor-quality weld properties
Incorrect welding parameters
Check settings
Poor ground earth connection
Establish good contact with workpiece
Too little or no shielding gas
Check gas pressure regulator, gas hose, gas solenoid valve, welding
torch gas connection, etc.
Welding torch leaks
Change welding torch
Incorrect wire alloy or incorrect wire diameter
Check inserted welding wire
Incorrect wire alloy or incorrect wire diameter
Check the weldability of the parent material
Shielding gas not suitable for wire alloy
Use correct shielding gas
