What to do if my Hobart Multi-Handler 200 Welding System has no weld output and is completely inoperative?
If your Hobart Welding System is completely inoperative with no weld output, make sure the line disconnect switch is in the On position. Also, check and replace the line fuse(s) if needed, or reset the supplementary protector. Ensure the power cord is properly plugged in and the receptacle is receiving power.
What causes TIG welding problems like wandering arc in Hobart Multi-Handler 200 Welding System?
If you're having TIG welding problems such as a wandering arc, hard starts, poor welding characteristics, or spattering with your Hobart Welding System, use the correct type and size of tungsten. Ensure the tungsten is properly prepared, and verify the electrode polarity.
Why does my Hobart Multi-Handler 200 Welding System have no weld output but the unit is on?
If your Hobart Welding System is on but there's no weld output, check that the weld cables are securely connected into their receptacles. Also, make sure the work clamp has a good connection to the workpiece.
Why is my Hobart Welding System's welding arc or output erratic or improper?
If you're experiencing an erratic or improper welding arc or output with your Hobart Welding System, ensure you are using the correct size and type of weld cable. Clean and tighten all weld connections. Verify the electrode polarity and check for poor connections to the workpiece, correcting them as necessary.
Why does my Hobart Welding System have TIG welding problems like tungsten electrode oxidizing?
If the tungsten electrode is oxidizing and not remaining bright after welding with your Hobart TIG Welding System, shield the weld zone from drafts. Check that you're using the correct type of shielding gas. Inspect and tighten all gas fittings, and verify the electrode polarity.
What causes stick welding problems like hard starts with my Hobart Multi-Handler 200?
If you are experiencing hard starts, poor welding characteristics, or unusual spattering with your Hobart Welding System during stick welding, use the correct type and size of electrode. Verify the electrode polarity and correct any poor connections. Ensure that a remote control is not connected.
Why is the fan not operating on my Hobart Welding System?
The fan on your Hobart Welding System might not be operating because the unit hasn't warmed up enough to require cooling. Check for and remove anything that might be blocking the fan's movement. If these steps don't resolve the issue, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent inspect the fan motor and control circuitry.
