What causes erratic welding arc or output in Miller Multimatic 215 Welding System?
Erratic or improper welding arc or output in your Miller Welding System can be caused by several factors. Consider the following: * Using the proper size and type of weld cable (consult your Distributor). * Cleaning and tightening weld connections. * Verifying electrode polarity and correcting poor connections to the workpiece.
Why is there no weld output from my Miller Multimatic 215 Welding System, even though the unit is on?
If your Miller Welding System is on but there's no weld output, try the following: * Check and secure any loose weld cables into their receptacles. * Check and correct any poor connection of the work clamp to the workpiece.
What to do if my Miller Multimatic 215 displays 'Shorted output'?
If your Miller Welding System shows a 'Shorted output' error, it means the welding wire came into contact with the workpiece while jogging wire. Remove the short and pull the trigger, or wait 30 seconds for the error to clear.
