Attention:
Make sure that MMA welding method is selected with switch (3).
Fault
Potential cause
Recomme
ndations
Excessive splatter
Arc too long
Too high welding current
Adjust the welding current to the
electrode diameter.
Crater at the end of the weld
Too quick detachment of the electrode
from workpiece
Tear off the electrode at the end of
the weld "sensitively".
Weld inclusions, slags
• Material not clear
• Stitches too thick
• Incorrect electrode leading
Clean the material before welding
Guide the electrode according to
the welding technology
Lack penetration or no sticking
• Too high
welding speed
• To low welding current
• Too small bevel angle
• Dirty or corroded weld edges
Clean the material before welding.
Guide the electrode according to
the welding technology
Adhesion of the material to the
welded material
• Arc too short
• To
low welding current
Adjust the welding current to the
electrode diameter.
Bobbles in weld
• Wet electrode or water around the weld
• Arc too long
Dry the electrodes in the dryer.
Adjust the welding current to the
electrode diameter.
Cracks present after welding
• Too high welding current
• Soiled material
• Moisted cover
Adjust the welding current to the
electrode diameter.
