Be CERTAIN to shut off the welder, disconnect it from power, and discharge the electrode to
ground before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing the unit.
COMMON PROBLEMS

!
WARNING:
dry insulating gloves. Insulate yourself from work and ground.
Fumes and gases can injure you. Keep your head out of fumes. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases from your breathing area.
Welding sparks can cause fire or explosion. Keep flammable material away. Keep fire extinguisher nearby when welding.
Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Wear correct eye and body protection.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
1. Tripped thermal protection device. (See light).
2. Ground Clamp not attached to workpiece.
1. Unit is not connected to outlet properly.
2. Outlet is unpowered.
3. Circuit supplies insufficient input voltage or
amperage.
4. Input voltage is incorrect.
1. Loose electrode cable or ground cable.
2. Damaged electrode holder or loose connection
within electrode holder.
3. Adjust current setting.
1. Amperage is too low.
2. Poor ground connection.
3. Exceeded duty cycle.
4. Loose or faulty welding cables.
Electric Shock Can Kill. Do not touch electrical live parts or electrodes with skin or wet clothing. Always wear

REMEDIES
1. Reduce duration or frequency of welding periods
to help reduce wear on the welder.
2. Attach Ground Clamp to workpiece
1. Verify the voltage at the outlet and the connection
to the outlet.
2. Check circuit breaker/GFCI devices; if any are
tripped, determine and remedy cause before
resetting.
3. Verify that the circuit is designed to supply
the required input amperage as detailed in
specifications.
4. Make sure Voltage Switch matches voltage being
used.
1. Check to ensure that all connections are tight.
2. Have a qualified technician inspect and repair/
replace as necessary.
3. Make sure setting matches recommended setting
on chart.
1. Increase amperage.
2. Reposition clamp on bare metal.
3. Wait for fan to stop and follow suggested duty cycle.
4. Ensure both ground wire and Stick/TIG wire are
properly connected.
