Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Possible Causes | Corrective Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Wire feed speed too high. | Select lower wire feed speed. | |
| Voltage too high. | Select lower voltage range. | |
| Electrode extension (stickout) too long. | Use shorter electrode extension (stickout). | |
| Workpiece dirty. | Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, undercoating, and dirt from work surface before welding. | |
| Insufficient shielding gas at welding arc. | Increase flow of shielding gas at regulator/flowmeter and/or prevent drafts near welding arc. | |
| Dirty welding wire. | Use clean, dry welding wire. | |
| Incorrect polarity. | Check polarity required by welding wire, and change to correct polarity at welding power source. |
