If you have any problems which cannot be resolved by reference to the 
above, or if you require spare parts for your welder please contact your local 
Clarke dealer.

Loose coils of 
wire tangle 
around wire 
drum inside 
machine.

Locking knob too slack.

Tighten Locking Knob slightly. 
Do not over-tighten.

Erratic wire 
feed.

Tensioning Knob too tight.

Loosen Tensioning Knob slightly.

Tension roller worn.

Check and replace if 
necessary.

Insufficient pressure on 
tension roller.

Increase pressure on tension 
roller
Caution: Do not over-tighten.

Wire dirty, rusty, damp or 
bent.

Re-cut wire and ensure it is 
clean.

Liner partially blocked.

Clean with compressed air.

Poor quality 
welds.

Insufficient gas at weld 
area.

Check that gas is not being 
blown away by draughts and if 
so move to a more sheltered 
work area. If no increase gas 
supply.

Rusty, painted, damp, oil or 
greasy workpiece.

Ensure workpiece is clean and 
dry.

Rusty/dirty wire.

Ensure wire is clean and dry.

Poor earth contact.

Check earth clamp/workpiece 
connection.

Welder cuts out 
whilst in use.

Duty cycle exceeded (auto 
cut-out operates).

Allow welder to cool 15-30 mins 
before continuing.
Note: If duty cycle is continually 
exceeded, damage to the 
welder may result and welder 
output is probably too small for 
application.
