Arc Welder
For Information About This Product, Call 1-866-220-2097
Symptom
Welder does not hum when
turned on
Welder hums but does not
weld
Welder gives trickle shocks
Welder overheats - blows
fuses, trips circuit breaker
Arc difficult to strike
Symptom
Bead is intermittently too
thin or too thick
Ragged depressions at edge
of weld
Weld bead does not
penetrate workpiece
Electrode sticks to
workpiece
Electrodes sputter and stick
Troubleshooting Chart - Welder
Possible Cause(s)
1. No power at receptacle
2. Broken or damaged power
cable
1. Inadequate current at electrode
2. Poor connections at welder
1. Accidental contact with
workpiece
2. Current leakage caused by
moist clothing or work area
1. Use of extension cord
2. Electrode diameter too large
3. Overloaded circuit
1. Wrong type of electrode
2. Electrode diameter too large
3. Workpiece not properly
grounded
4. Heavy loads making power line
voltage low
Troubleshooting Chart - Welds
Possible Cause(s)
1. Inconsistent travel speed
2. Output amperage setting
incorrect
1. Travel speed too fast
2. Arc length too short
3. Output amperage setting too
high
1. Inconsistent travel speed
2. Output amperage setting too
low
3. Electrode diameter too large
1. Arc length short
2. Amperage setting low
Damp electrodes
Corrective Action
1. Check circuit fuse or circuit breaker
2. Power cable requires service
1. Check work clamp, cable and connection to workpiece.
Check electrode cable and clamp
2. Check all welder external connections
1. Avoid contact with workpiece
2. Make sure clothing and work area are dry
1. If possible, relocate welder to avoid use of extension cord. If
relocation of welder is not possible, use thicker (lower gauge
number) extension cord
2. Use smaller diameter electrode
3. Welder requires a dedicated 115 V circuit
1. Verify that electrode is for alternating current (AC) use
2. Use smaller diameter electrode
3. Verify proper grounding. (No paint, varnish or corrosion)
4. Run welder on dedicated 115 V circuit
Corrective Action
1. Carefully watch and control the width of the molten weld
bead
2. Adjust output amperage setting or change to smaller
diameter electrode
1. Watch orange molten weld puddle and control bead width
2. Practice running electrode across workpiece with welder
OFF
3. Reduce output amperage setting
1. Decrease and maintain constant travel speed
2. Increase output amperage setting or change to smaller
diameter electrode
3. Recommend either 1/16" or 5/64" diameter electrodes
1. Lift electrode to correct arc length as soon as arc is struck
2. Increase amperage setting or change to smaller diameter
electrode
Use dry electrodes and store in dry location
