  If your Jobmate Welding System welder isn't welding, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the power input is correct. Next, check the grounding to the workpiece to make sure there's adequate current at the output. Examine the output connection for any signs of poor connection. Also, make sure that the surfaces are clean. Finally, verify that you are using the correct welding wire.

  If your Jobmate Welding System isn't working when you turn it on, the issue could stem from a few things. Start by checking the circuit or fuse of the power supply to ensure there is power input. If that's not the problem, the power cord or plug might be broken and need replacement. The main switch itself could also be faulty, requiring replacement. In some cases, the transformer could be broken, which would also necessitate a replacement.

How to fix inconsistent arc or wire feed on jobmate 199-8594-6?
- M
  Megan KingAug 28, 2025
  To address inconsistent arc or wire feed on your Jobmate Welding System: * First, tighten the drive tension adjustor on the wire feeder, as there might not be enough drive roller pressure. * Next, adjust the wing nut on the spool holder, as the spool hub tension may be too tight or too loose. * Also, replace the contact tip, because it could be worn or the wrong size. * Finally, consider replacing the wire if it's rusty or corroded.
