      Troy StoutAug 16, 2025
      If the high temperature light is on, it indicates the unit has overheated, causing a thermal shutdown. Allow the unit to cool with the fan on. You may also need to reduce the duty cycle or amperage. Check for and correct any blocked or poor airflow to the unit.

      To address wandering arc, hard starts, poor welding characteristics, or spattering, use the proper type and size of tungsten and ensure it is properly prepared. Check and reverse the electrode polarity. Shield the weld zone from drafts, verify the correct type of shielding gas, and check and tighten all gas fittings.
