Problems

|

Solutions

---|---|---

1

|

Arc starting is difficult and easy to break.

|

1.       Examine whether grounding wire clamp contacts with the work pieces well.

2.       Examine whether each joint has improper contact.

2

|

Output current not to rated value

|

1. The deviation of power voltage from rated value may cause that the output current does no accord with adjusted value. When the power voltage is lower than rated value, the maximum output current may be lower than rated value.

3

|

Current    is    not    stabilizing    when machine is being operated

|

This situation may relate to the following factors:

l   The voltage of electric power network changes.

l   Serious interference from electric power network or other electric facilities.

4

|

When use MMA welding, Too much spatter

| 1.         Maybe current is too big and electrode diameter is too small.

2.         Output terminal polarity connection is wrong, it should apply the opposite polarity at the normal technics, which means that the stick should be connected with the negative polarity of power source, and work piece should be connected with the positive polarity. So please change the polarity.
