1: No wire feed

Possible Reason

Suggested Remedy

Wrong mode selected

Check that the 

ARC/

MIG selector switch set to MIG position

Wrong torch selector switch 

Check that the STANDARD/SPOOLGUN selector switch is set to STANDARD position for MIG 
welding and SPOOLGUN when using the Spoolgun

2: Inconsistent / interrupted wire feed 

Possible Reason

Suggested Remedy

Adjusting wrong dial

Be sure to adjust the WIRE FEED and VOLTAGE dials for MIG welding.  
The AMPERAGE dial is for STICK and TIG welding mode

Wrong polarity selected

Select the correct polarity for the wire being used - see machine setup guide

Incorrect wire speed setting

Adjust the wire feed speed

Voltage setting incorrect

Adjust the voltage setting

Mig torch lead too long

Small diameter wires and soft wires like aluminum don’t feed well through long torch leads - 
replace the torch with a lesser length torch

Mig torch lead kinked or too sharp 

angle being held

Remove the kink, reduce the angle or bend

Contact tip worn, wrong size, wrong 

type

Replace the tip with correct size and type

Liner worn or clogged (the most com-
mon causes of bad feeding)

Try to clear the liner by blowing out with compressed air as a temporary cure,  
it is recommended to replace the liner

Wrong size liner

Install the correct size liner

Blocked or worn inlet guide tube

Clear or replace the inlet guide tube

Wire misaligned in drive roller groove

Locate the wire into the groove of the drive roller

Incorrect drive roller size

Fit the correct size drive roller eg; 0.

030

wire requires 0.

030

 drive roller

Wrong type of drive roller selected

Fit the correct type roller (e.g. knurled rollers needed for flux cored wires)

Worn drive rollers

Replace the drive rollers

Drive roller pressure too high

Can flatten the wire electrode causing it to lodge in the contact tip - reduce the drive roller 
pressure

Too much tension on wire spool hub

Reduce the spool hub brake tension

Wire crossed over on the spool or 

tangled

Remove the spool untangle the wire or replace the wire

Contaminated mig wire

Use clean dry rust free wire.  Do not lubricate the wire with oil, grease etc

The following chart addresses some of the common WIRE FEED problems during MIG welding. In all cases of equipment  

malfunction, the manufacturer’s recommendations should be strictly adhered to and followed.
