3.

Check drive roll tension and

 

 

 

 

 

 

position of grooves.

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Check for worn or loose drive rolls.

 

 

 

 

 

5.

The electrode may be rusty or dirty.

 

 

 

 

 

6.

Check for damaged or incorrect

again the wire feed starts.

 

 

2. Check for restrictions in the wire

 

 

 

 

 

 

feed path. Check the gun and

 

 

 

 

 

 

cable for restrictions.

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Make sure gun liner and tip are

 

 

 

 

 

 

correct for wire size being used.

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Make sure drive rolls and guide plates

 

 

 

 

 

 

are clean and are the correct size.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Check spindle for ease of rotation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION

If all recommended possible areas of misadjustment have been checked and the problem persists,

Contact your local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility.

CAUTION

If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your

LOCAL AUTHORIZED LINCOLN ELECTRIC FIELD SERVICE FACILITY for assistance before you proceed.
