If possible, use other
electrodes or another welding
machine designed for higher
power
Stick electrode is sticking
to the work piece Arc current
value is too low
Set arc current to a higher value
Bad welding quality
(intense splashing)
Incorrect
polarity of the
electrode Change polarity of the
electrode (in accordance with
data
of the electrodes
manufacturer)
Poor contact with
earth Connect earth terminal as close
