9.1. 

Machine frequently cuts out: 

(A)

 

The welder is being overworked causing the thermostatic control to activate. (B) May also be due   

 

to a sticking electrode causing the machine to cut out for up to ten minutes. Cut out will automatically reset when welder has cooled.

9.2. 

Difficulty in striking an arc: 

a). The electrode is damp. Heat it up to 60º - 70º before using.

 

   

 

 

b). Wrong type of electrode. 

PROBLEM

CAUSE

SOLUTION

Arc becomes unsteady or is 

difficult to strike

1. Input voltage too low

1. Ensure that the power supply is of the required 

specification for the welder.

2. Use of a thinner, non standard Welding cable 

resulting in too much resistance. 

2. Use the correct cable as supplied with the machine.

3. Welding cable quick connector not properly 

tightened  resulting in excessive resistance.

3 Ensure that cable quick connector is fully inserted 

and turned through 180º.

4. Regulation screw and nut worn out.

4. Replace worn parts.

5. Faulty power switch

5. Replace power switch.

Welder overheats and cuts out

1. Welder overloaded

1. Wait for welder to cool down, then operate it within 

the requirements of the duty cycle.

2.Cooling fan broken

2. Repair or replace the cooling fan 

Arc will not strike or is difficult to 

strike after the welder is switched 

on

1. No input voltage from power source

1. Check power source wiring, switch and fuse

2. Partial winding short circuit

2. Return welder to supplier for repair 

Cooling fan not working

1. Faulty start up capacitor

1. Replace capacitor

2. Motor burned out

2. Replace motor

3. Faulty wiring

3. Check wiring
