Rectifying faults 

All products are subject to rigorous production checks and final checks. If, despite this, something fails to 
work at any time, please check the product using the following flowchart. If none of the fault rectification 
procedures described leads to the correct functioning of the product, please inform your authorised 
dealer. 

7.1 

Checklist for rectifying faults 

 

The correct machine equipment for the material and process gas in use is a fundamental 
requirement for perfect operation! 

Legend

Description 

 

 

Fault/Cause 

 

 

Remedy 

Excess temperature signal light illuminates 

  Excess temperature, welding machine 

Allow the machine to cool down whilst still switched on 

Functional errors 

  Machine control without displaying the signal lights after switching on 

 

Phase failure > check mains connection (fuses) 

  Connection problems 

Make control lead connections and check that they are fitted correctly. 

 

Loose welding current connections 

Tighten power connections on the torch and/or on the workpiece 

Tighten contact tip correctly
