8.6 DEFINITION:

DUTY CYCLE:
Duty Cycle is a percentage of 10 mins. in which a 

machine can operate at a rated load without overheating 

and interruption from the thermal cut-out device.
Example: 

150A @ 30% Duty factor

   

   

150A welding for 3 minutes

   

  

7 minutes down time

Example: 

95A @ 100% Duty factor 

   

   

95A continuous welding

To increase the operation time, reduce the amperage.
Note: The heating tests have been carried out at 

ambient temperature and the duty cycle (duty factor) at 

20°C has been determined by simulation
Definition:
METAL INERT-GAS (MIG welding)
Also known as 

GMAW (Gas metal arc welding)

A welding process in which an electric arc forms 

between a consumable wire electrode and the 

workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s), 

causing them to melt, and join. Along with the wire 

electrode, a shielding gas feeds through the welding 

gun, which shields the process from contaminants in the 

air.

9.1 TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: For your own safety, turn the switch off and remove the plug from the power  supply socket.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

REQUIRED ACTION

Wire not feeding despite 

wire feed pulley turning.

Dirty current nozzle (contact tip).

Clean.

Wire feed pulley set too tight.

Loosen.

Too low clamping pressure of the 

wire feed pulley.

Increase the clamping pressure.

Interrupted or disruptive 

wire supply.

Damaged current nozzle.

Replace.

Burnt current nozzle.

Replace

Dirty driving gear torch liner.

Clean.

Cut on worn driving gear.

Replace.

Electric arc turned off.

Poor contact between earth 

clamp and part to be welded.

Tighten the pliers and check them, 

remove paint and rust.

Short circuit between current 

nozzle and gas supply pipe.

Clean or replace the current and gas 

nozzle, remove dirt, paint and rust.

Too loose current nozzle.

Tighten the current nozzle firmly.

Welder suddenly stops 

working after longer 

operation.

Welder has overheated due to 

too long use and the thermal 

protection has activated.

Let the welder cool down.

IMPORTANT: Please note all repairs/service should be carried out by a qualified person.

10. MAINTENANCE

10.1   MAINTENANCE

Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the necessity 

for maintenance operations and will keep your tool in 

good working condition.
Warning: Remove the plug from the power supply. 

Periodically the welder must be checked as detailed 

below.

•  Check the torch cable and ground cable connections.
•  Clean the contact tip and the gas shroud with an iron 

brush. Replace if worn.

•  Clean the outside of the welder with a damp cloth.
•  Every time the wire spool is replaced:
•  Check the alignment, cleanliness and state of wear 

of the wire roll.

•  Remove any metal powder deposited on the wire
