TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms
Reasons

Failure to start welding
No gas
Gas valve closed or bottle empty
The gas is continuous
Solenoid valve blocked or dirty
Remove, check and clean the solenoid valve.
The torch overheats
The torch is not suitable for the wire feeder duty
cycle
Change the torch for a one which is suitable for
the machine
The welding wire speed is not constant.
The wire skids in the rollers
Check the roller pressure or replace it.

Reel brake too tight
Adjust the reel brake
The torch is bent which might inhibit the wire
output
Check the torch
The rollers slide over the wire
Check and tighten the roller screws
Sheath crushed
Change it
Roller grooves do not match the diameter of
wire used
Change for size suitable for wire used.
