Possible causes and solutions
1. Improper ground connection:
Make certain that the work piece is contacted properly by the Ground Clamp and that
the work piece is properly cleaned near the ground clamp and the welding location.
2. Improperly sized or excessively worn contact tip (51b):
Verify that Contact Tip (51b) is the proper size for the welding wire used. Check that
the hole in the tip is not deformed or enlarged. Also, check that the tip is not dirty;
this would prevent a good connection. If needed, replace Contact Tip (51b) with
proper size and type.
