TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem 

Possible Cause

Corrective Action

1. Check circuit breaker or 
fuse in power source.
2. Replace power cord. 
3. Replace switch.
4. Replace the transformer.
1. Check the power source.
2. Check for proper grounding 
to the work piece. 
3. Check output connection.
4. Clean surfaces.
5. Use correct wire.

1. Use recommended electrode.
2. Make sure there is a good 
ground connection. 

Check the fuse in power
source. It should be a 50 A fuse. 

Slow down the welding
speed.

1. Use dry one.
2. Use corrent one.

1. Damp electrode.
2. Wrong type electrode.

The welding speed too slow.

The welding speed is too fast.

Wrong fuse in power supply.

1. Incorrect power input.
2. Inadequate current at output.
3. Poor connection of output cable.
4. Dirty surfaces.
5. Wrong welding wire.

1. The wrong electrode.
2. Base metal not grounded 
properly.

Electrode is in contact with the 
work piece too long 
when starting arc.

Contact us.

Speed up the welding speed.

After the arc has started, move
the electrode away from the 
work piece immediately.

1. No power input.
2. The power cord or power plug 
is broken.
3. Main switch is broken.
4. Transformer is broken.

Welder does not work
when the main switch
is turned on. 

Does not weld.

Blows fuse.

Arc is hard to start.

Welding bead too thin.

Welding bead too thick.

Electrode sticks to work
piece.

Poor welding 
performance; spatter.

Others.
