Remedies
Wait for the end of the cooling
time, around 2 minutes. The indi-
cator lamp (6) turns off.
Check the connections.
Check the plug and the earth of
your electrical network.
Check the connections.
Have the electrical installation
checked.
Use a tungsten electrode with the
adequate size
Use a well prepared tungsten
electrode
Reduce gas flow rate
Protect welding zone against air
flows
Check and tighten all gas connec-
tions. Wait until the electrode cools
down before stopping the gas.
Check that the earth clamp is
