POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Hold the gun at the right distance.
Ensure workpiece is clean and dry.
Ensure wire is clean and dry.
Check ground clamp/workpiece
connection and all connections to the
machine.
Move the gun slower.
Move the gun faster.
Increase welding voltage/amperage.
Turn machine ON with ON/OFF SWITCH.
Make sure machine is plugged in.
Verify that circuit breaker has not been
tripped. Reset if needed.
Verify output power from the outlet.
Allow welder to cool at least 10 minutes
with machine ON (observe and maintain
proper duty cycle). FAULT/THERMAL
OVERLOAD INDICATOR LED (3) should
turn off after the machine has cooled.
Check for obstructions blocking air flow
and ensure that there are 12 inches of
clearance between any obstacles and the
vents on all sides of the machine.
Check the voltage of your outlet. If it
is 10% more or less than 120V, call a
qualified electrician.
