Issue
No wire feed
Inconsistent / interrupted
wire feed
Possible Reason
• Wrong mode selected
• Adjusting wrong dial
• Wrong polarity selected
• Incorrect wire speed setting
• Voltage setting incorrect
• MIG torch lead too long
• MIG torch lead kinked or too
sharp angle being held
• Contact tip worn, wrong size,
wrong type
• Liner worn or clogged (the
most common causes of bad
feeding)
• Wrong size liner
• Blocked or worn inlet guide
tube
• Wire misaligned in drive roller
groove
• Incorrect drive roller size
• Wrong type of drive roller
selected
• Worn drive rollers
• Drive roller pressure too high
• Too much tension on wire
spool hub
• Wire crossed over on the
spool or tangled
• Contaminated MIG wire
Suggested Remedy
• Check that the TIG/MMA/MIG selector switch
set to MIG position
• Be sure to adjust the wire feed and voltage
dials for MIG welding. The amperage dial is for
MMA and TIG welding mode.
• Select the correct polarity for the wire being
used - see machine set up.
• Adjust the wire feed speed
• Adjust the voltage setting
Small diameter wires and soft wires like
aluminium don’t feed well through long torch
leads - replace the torch with a lesser length
torch.
•Remove the kink, reduce the angle or bend
• Replace the tip with correct size and type
• Try to clear the liner by blowing out with
compressed air as a temporary cure, it is
recommended to replace the liner.
• Install the correct size liner
• Clear or replace the inlet guide tube
• Locate the wire into the groove of the drive
roller
•Fit the correct size drive roller e.g.0.8mm wire
requires 0.8mm drive roller.
• Fit the correct type roller (e.g. knurled rollers
needed for flux cored wires).
• Replace the drive rollers
Can flatten the wire electrode causing it to
lodge in the contact tip - reduce the drive roller
pressure.
• Reduce the spool hub brake tension
• Remove the spool untangle the wire or
replace the wire.
• Use clean dry rust free wire. Do not lubricate
the wire with oil, grease etc.
