Question/Problem - Cause
Cause
Solution
The welding machine does not switch on:
•
The power cord is unplugged;
•
The
"ON/OFF” switch is in the OFF position (0);
•
Plug in the power cord;
•
Set the “ON/OFF” switch to ON position (I);
The flux-cored welding machine is on but does not
deliver enough welding current and the yellow LED
light (thermal protection) is lit:
•
Overloaded appliance;
•
The power supply voltage is higher than the
technical specifications and trips the overload
relay;
•
The ground clamp is not well attached and is not
in contact with the workpiece;
•
Wait for the machine to cool down and switch it
back on;
•
Adjust to the appropriate supply voltage;
•
Attach the ground clamp correctly and ensure it is
contact with the workpiece;
Poor welding performance:
•
The power cord or extension cord is too long,
which causes the welding current to decrease;
•
The welding current is not adjusted to the
characteristics of the wire;
•
The wire is damp and causes instability in the
welding arc;
•
The welding current is very high for the diameter
of the wire used;
•
Increase the cable cross-section of the extension
cord or decrease its length;
•
Adjust the welding current on the wire tension
knob according to the wire used;
•
Use a good-quality and dry wire;
•
Adjust the welding current according to the wire
used;
