Why is my Power Fist MINIMIG 100E Welding System producing dirty welds?
If your Power Fist Welding System is producing dirty, porous, or brittle welds, it might be due to a plugged welding nozzle; try cleaning or replacing it. Another cause could be dirty or rusty welding wire, so replace the spool of wire.
Why does the ground clamp get hot on my Power Fist MINIMIG 100E Welding System?
If the ground clamp or ground cable is getting hot on your Power Fist Welding System, it could be due to a bad connection from the cable to the clamp. Try tightening the connection or replacing the cable.
