Fault Reason Solution
Arc extinction occurs
sporadically during
welding
The arc voltage of the
electrode used is too high
If possible, use other electrodes or a
welding unit of higher power
MMA electrode sticks
to the workpiece
Welding current too low
Set a higher welding current
Poor weld quality
(heavy spatter)
Wrong electrode polarity
Reverse the polarity of the electrode
(according to the electrode
manufacturer)
Poor ground contact
Fix the ground terminal as close as
possible to the welding area
