No protective gas shield

All other functions are OK

Cause:

Gas cylinder is empty

Remedy:

Change the gas cylinder

Cause:

The gas pressure regulator is faulty

Remedy:

Replace the gas pressure regulator

Cause:

Gas hose is not fitted or is damaged

Remedy:

Fit or change the gas hose

Cause:

Welding torch is faulty

Remedy:

Change the welding torch

Cause:

Gas solenoid valve is faulty

Remedy:

Contact After-Sales Service

Irregular wire feed speed

Cause:

Braking force has been set too high

Remedy:

Loosen the brake

Cause:

Hole in the contact tip is too narrow

Remedy:

Use a suitable contact tip

Cause:

Faulty inner liner in welding torch

Remedy:

Check the inner liner for kinks, dirt, etc. and replace if necessary

Cause:

The feed rollers are not suitable for the wire electrode being used

Remedy:

Use suitable feed rollers

Cause:

Feed rollers have the wrong contact pressure

Remedy:

Optimise the contact pressure

Wirefeed problems

when using long hosepacks

Cause:

Incorrect arrangement of hosepack

Remedy:

Arrange the hosepack in as straight a line as possible, avoid tight bends

Welding torch becomes very hot

Cause:

The specification of the welding torch is inadequate

Remedy:

Observe the duty cycle and loading limits

Cause:

Only on water-cooled systems: Inadequate coolant flow

Remedy:

Check coolant level, coolant flow, for coolant contamination, etc. For further 

information refer to the cooling unit operating instructions.
