Why LORCH Inverter displays remain dark?
The displays might remain dark due to several reasons: a defective mains fuse (in which case, replace the fuse), a missing neutral conductor or mains phase (check the mains cable or mains extension cable), or a discharged battery (check, charge, or replace the battery).
What to do if my LORCH MicorStick 180 ControlPro Inverter has no welding current?
If there is no welding current, it could be due to a ground line that is not connected or is defective (check the ground line and replace it if necessary), or the electrode holder or torch is not connected or is defective (check the electrode holder or torch and replace if necessary).
What to do if my LORCH MicorStick 180 ControlPro Inverter has pores in weld metal?
Pores in the weld metal can arise from several issues. The torch might not be tight, or the gas nozzle might not be tight (tighten gas nozzle). The torch head could be faulty. The workpiece might be soiled with grease, rust, oil, etc. (clean it). There might be a draught (shield workplace).
Why does the TIG electrode melt on my LORCH MicorStick 180 ControlPro Inverter?
The TIG electrode may be melting because the welding current is set too high for the electrode diameter (set the correct welding current) or the polarity is reversed and the TIG torch is connected to the positive terminal (connect the TIG torch to negative terminal).
What to do if LORCH MicorStick 180 ControlPro Inverter arc does not ignite?
If the arc does not ignite, it could be due to no or poor ground contact (ensure ground contact), incorrect electrode diameter (select correct electrode diameter), welding current set too low (set welding current higher), a tungsten electrode soiled or incorrectly ground (grind correctly or replace the electrode if necessary), or gas volume set incorrectly (set gas volume correctly).
Why LORCH Inverter seam "cooking" (unsteady arc)?
An unsteady arc, or "cooking" seam, can be caused by a missing gas supply (check) or incorrect gas (use correct gas).
What to do if my LORCH MicorStick 180 ControlPro Inverter has too little inert gas?
If there is too little inert gas, the torch might not be tight (check and replace if necessary), the gas hose might not be tight (tighten gas hose), or the pressure reducer is set incorrectly or defective (check and replace if necessary).
Why LORCH Inverter has no inert gas?
The absence of inert gas could stem from an empty gas cylinder (replace gas cylinder), a defective pressure reducer (check and replace if necessary), or a gas valve on the torch not opened or defective (check and replace if necessary).
