      First, readjust the front panel settings. Then, change to the correct size drive rolls and readjust the drive roll pressure. Replace the inlet guide, contact tip, and/or liner if necessary. Check the position of the input jumper links. If the issue persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the main control board.

      First, ensure the line disconnect switch is On. Next, check and replace the building line fuse or reset the circuit breaker if it's open. Also, reset circuit breaker CB1. Make sure the gun trigger connections are secure. If these steps don't resolve the issue, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the Power switch, all board connections, and the main control board.

      Try these steps: reset circuit breaker CB1, turn the Wire Speed control to a higher setting, clear any obstruction in the gun contact tip or liner, readjust the drive roll pressure, change to the correct size drive rolls, rethread the welding wire, and check the gun trigger and leads, repairing or replacing the gun if necessary. If the problem persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the main control board.

      If the thermostat TP1 is open due to overheating, allow the fan to run so the unit cools down and the thermostat closes. Ensure the work clamp has good metal-to-metal contact. Replace the contact tip. If an overload occurred, release the gun trigger. If problems continue, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the main control board and main rectifier.
