Problem(s)
34
Possible Cause(s)
34
Suggested Solution(s)
34
Welding unit does not turn on.
34
1. No power at power outlet.
34
2. Broken or damaged power supply cord.
34
1. Check circuit fuse or circuit breaker.
34
2. Replace the power supply cord.
34
Welding unit is on, but does not weld.
34
1. Inadequate current.
34
2. Poor connections at welding unit.
34
1. Check work clamp, cable and connection to workpiece,
34
2. Check all welding unit external connections.
34
Wire feed works, but no arc.
34
1. Bad ground or loose connection.
34
2. Bad connection to torch or faulty torch.
34
1. Check ground and connections. Tighten as necessary.
34
2. Check connection to torch or replace torch.
34
Arc works, but not feeding wire.
34
1. No tension on drive roller.
34
2. Faulty wire speed control assembly.
34
3. Faulty drive motor.
34
1. Adjust the drive tension.
34
2. Replace wire speed control assembly.
34
3. Replace drive motor.
34
Nothing works except fan.
34
1. Exceeded duty cycle; thermal protector opened.
34
2. Faulty trigger on torch.
34
3. Faulty transformer.
34
1. Let welding unit cool at least 10 minutes (observe and maintain proper duty cycle).
34
2. Replace torch trigger.
34
3. Replace transformer.
34
Welding unit overheats - blows fuses, trips circuit breaker.
34
1. Use of extension cord.
34
2. Welding wire diameter is too large.
34
3. Overloaded circuit.
34
1. If possible, relocate welding unit to avoid use of extension cord. If relocation is not possible, use thicker (low gauge number) extension cord.
34
2. Use smaller diameter wire.
34
3. Welding unit requires a dedicated circuit. Remove all other electric devices on the circuit.
34
Arc difficult to strike.
34
1. Workpiece not properly grounded.
34
2. Heavy loads causing low power line voltage.
34
1. Use smaller diameter wire.
34
2. Verify proper grounding. No paint, varnish or corrosion.
34
3. Run welding unit on dedicated circuit.
34
Problem(s)
35
Possible Cause(s)
35
Suggested Solution(s)
35
Low output or non-penetrating weld.
35
1. Loose connection inside machine
35
2. Too long or improper extension cord.
35
3. Wrong type or size wire.

5. Wrong size contact tip.
35
6. Loose torch connection or faulty torch assembly.
35
7. Wrong welding polarity set.
35
8. Dirty or rusty welding wire
35
1. Blow inside of machine out with compressed air. Clean and tighten all connections.
35
2. Extension cords are discouraged. Move welding unit close to power source.
35
3. Use correct size wire.
35
4. Reposition clamp and check cable to clamp connection.
35
5. Use correct size contact tip.
35
6. Tighten torch or replace torch.
35
7. Change to proper polarity.
35
8. Replace spool of welding wire.
35
Wire is jamming or ‘bird nesting’ at the drive roller.
35
1. Too much tension on drive roller.
35
2. Torch liner worn or damaged.
35
3. Contact tip is clogged or damaged.
35
4. Liner stretched or is too long.
35
1. Adjust drive tension. (See Install the Welding Wire).
35
2. Replace torch liner.
35
3. Replace contact tip.
35
4. Trim liner to proper length.
35

35
1. Torch liner worn or damaged.
35
2. Liner stretched or is too long.
35
3. Wrong size contact tip.
35
4. Contact tip is clogged or damaged.
35
5. Wire feed speed is too slow.
35
1. Replace torch liner.
35
2. Trim liner to proper length.
35
3. Use correct size contact tip.
35
4. Replace contact tip.
35
5. Increase wire feed speed
35
Ground clamp and/or ground cable gets hot.
35
Bad connection from cable to clamp.
35
Tighten connection or replace cable.
35
Dirty, porous or brittle weld.
35
1. Plugged welding nozzle.
35
2. No shielding gas.
35
3. Wrong type of gas.
35
4. Dirty or rusty welding wire.
35
