Wire feeds, but shielding gas does not flow (MIG welding only)
Possible Causes and Solutions
1.Empty Gas Cylinder: Check gas cylinder.
2.Nozzle Plugged:
Clean nozzle. If damaged, replace.
3.Regulator or cylinder valve closed:
Make sure both valves are adjusted properly.
4.Gas line blocked:
Check external hose, and hose within Torch cable.
5.Gas solenoid broken or not connected properly: Have a qualified technician check/replace.
Wire feed motor does not run (MIG welding only)
Possible Causes and Solutions
1.If beeping is heard, the wire is likely jammed somewhere in the torch, cable, or wire feed mechanism.
Carefully examine welding wire and welding wire route to determine the cause of the jam. Whenever possible, keep the welder off while the jam is being remedied to help prevent injury when the wire restarts.
2.(Model 95424 only.) Wire Feed Speed Knob (3C) in stick (arc) position. Change knob setting to proper speed.
Electrode Fuses to Work (Stick/Arc welding, model 95424, only)
Possible Causes and Solutions
1.Electrode too close to workpiece:
Hold electrode slightly farther from workpiece.
2.Moist or damaged electrodes:
Use dry electrodes that have been stored correctly.
If the steps above do not solve the problem or if the repairs involved are too
complex, contact a qualified technician.
