Troubleshooting
Welder won't turn on.
Check the power connection, ensure the plug is properly inserted, and the outlet is working. Verify the power switch on the welder is on.
Poor weld quality (porosity, weak welds).
Check the gas flow (if using gas), wire feed settings, and welding parameters. Ensure the workpiece is clean and free of rust or contaminants. Adjust the voltage and amperage.
Wire feed issues (wire sticking, not feeding).
Check the wire spool for tangles, ensure the wire is feeding smoothly through the torch, and replace the contact tip if worn or damaged.
Spatter during welding.
Adjust the voltage and wire feed speed. Ensure proper gas shielding (if applicable) and clean the welding area.
