POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
1. Duty cycle exceeded
2. Poor work clamp connection
3. Blown breaker or fuse
1. Wrong size contact tip
2. Torch liner clogged or damaged
3. Contact tip clogged or damaged
4. Drive roller worn
5. Not enough tension
1. Slag inside gun nozzle
2. Insulation ring melted/expired
1. Poor contact
2. Using an extension cord with
excessive length
1. Wire jammed
2. Out of wire
3. Not enough tension
4. Wire liner worn
5. Wire disconnected internally
6. Contact tip clogged
1. Wire speed too slow
2. Travel speed too slow or heat is too
high
1. Wire speed setting
2. Contact tip size too large
3. Polarity set incorrectly
4. Drive roller slipping
5. Gas bottle empty
1. Inconsistent travel speed
2. Output heat setting too low
1. Slow and/or inconsistent travel speed
2. Output heat setting too high
1. Travel speed too fast
2. Wire speed too fast
3. Output heat setting too high
1. Inconsistent travel speed
2. Output heat setting too low
3. No or low shielding gas
4. Wrong shielding gas (aluminum)
5. Extension cord is too long
6. (Aluminum) Possible oxide buid-up
on surface
1. Damp wire
2. Wire speed too fast
3. Wrong type of wire
4. No or low shielding gas
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Allow welder to cool until lamp goes out.
2. Be sure all connections are secure, and attaching
surface is clean.
3. Reduce circuit load, reset breaker or replace fuse.
1. Use proper size contact tip.
2. Clean or replace wire liner.
3. Clean or replace contact tip.
4. Replace.
5. Tighten tension knob.
1. Clean slag from gun nozzle.
2. Replace nozzle.
1. Be sure all connections are secure, and attaching
surface is clean.
2. Never use an extension cord longer than 20 ft.
1. Reload wire.
2. Replace wire spool.
3. Tighten tension knob if wire is slipping.
4. Replace liner.
5. Visit www.campbellhausfeld.com
6. Replace contact tip.
1. Run speed in 7 - 10 range.
2. Increase the travel speed or reduce heat settings.
1. Tune in correct setting (1-5 mild steel; 5-10
aluminum).
2. Replace contact tip.
3. Reverse polarity.
4. Increase tension.
5. Replace gas bottle.
1. Decrease and maintain constant travel speed.
2. Increase output heat setting.
1. Increase and maintain travel speed.
2. Reduce output heat setting.
1. Decrease travel speed.
2. Decrease wire speed.
3. Reduce output heat setting.
1. Decrease and maintain constant travel speed.
2. Increase output heat setting.
3. Use gas for MIG process or refill bottle.
4. Use only 100% Argon gas.
5. Never use an extension cord longer than 20 ft.
6. Clean surface thoroughly with a stainless steel brush
only.
1. Use dry wire and store in dry location.
2. Reduce wire speed.
3. Use flux-cored wire when not using gas.
4. Use gas for MIG process or refill bottle.
