A hissing, blowing sound with a ball of molten wire forming
at the end of the wire and then dropping off indicates the wire
feed rate is too slow (See Fig. X). This means that the wire
is melting before it reaches the metal. A loud, cracking noise
with red hot wire coming out of the gun and the wire pushing
the gun away from the work indicates the wire feed rate is
too fast (See Fig. Y). This means that the wire is melting
beyond the weld and is not melting properly. When “tuned in”
properly, a steady frying noise can be heard (See Fig. Z). This
means that the wire is melting properly, and is melting right at
the surface of the weld.

Adjusting the Welding Machine
In order to operate properly, the welding machine must be
adjusted properly. Your HTP MIG Welder is very simple
to adjust, and with a few minutes of practice, adjusting the
controls will become instinctive.
There are two control points which have to conform: the
power setting and the wire feed rate. The power setting is
determined by the thickness of the material which is being
welded (see Chart 3), and the wire feed rate is then "tuned in"
to the power setting. The correct setting of the power and the
wire feed rate can be seen in an even and calm arc and heard
as a steady frying noise.
When selecting your power setting, if the weld doesn’t appear
to be penetrating the metal, then turn up your power setting. If
you are burning a hole in what you are trying to weld, then it
will be necessary to turn down your power setting. If you are
on the lowest heat setting and still having problems with burn-
through, then you may want to reverse the polarity of your
welder. Use the following chart as a guide.
