WEAK ARC STRENGTH
Incorrect line voltage: Check the line voltage
and, if insufficient, have a licensed electrician
remedy the situation.
WIRE FEEDS, BUT ARC DOES NOT IGNITE
Improper ground connection: Make certain
that the workpiece is contacted properly by
the Ground Clamp and that the workpiece is
properly cleaned near the ground clamp and
the welding location.
Improperly sized or excessively worn contact
tip: Verify that Contact Tip 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 with proper size and type.
WIRE FEEDS, BUT SHIELDING GAS DOES
NOT FLOW
Empty Gas cylinder: Check gas cylinder.
Nozzle plugged: Clean nozzle. If damaged,
replace.
Regulator or cylinder valve closed: Make sure
both valves are adjusted properly.
Gas line blocked: Check external hose, and
hose within Torch cable.
Gas solenoid broken or not connected prop-
erly: Have a qualified technician check/replace.
