A
Electrode contaminated
through contact with work
piece or filler rod material.
A Clean the electrode by
grinding off the
contaminates.

G The electrode is too small
for the welding current.
G Increase electrode
diameter or reduce the
welding current.
H
WAVE BALANCE
is set
above 50%.
H Reduced
WAVE BALANCE
to below 50% or increase
the electrode size.
9
Poor weld finish.
Inadequate shielding gas.
Increase gas flow or
check gas line for gas
flow problems.
10 Arc flutters during
TIG welding.
A
Tungsten electrode is too
large for the welding current.
A Select the right size
electrode. Refer to Basic
TIG Welding guide.
B Absence of oxides in the
weld pool.
B Refer Basic TIG Welding
Guide for ways to reduce
arc flutter.
