(SYMPTOMS)
POSSIBLE AREAS OF
MISADJUSTMENT(S)
RECOMMENDED
COURSE OF ACTION
Poor welding, weld settings drift, or
output power is low.
Poor stick electrode welding
performance. The arc pops out.
1. Make sure the machine settings
are correct for the weld process
being used.
2. Check machine performance on
LOCAL control. If OK then the
remote control device may be
faulty. Check or replace.
3. Check the input voltages and
input voltage reconnect
procedures. See
1. Check for loose or faulty welding
cables.
2. Is the electrode DRY? Try weld-
ing with another electrode from a
different container. Make sure
you have the correct electrode for
the application.
3. Make sure the machine settings
are correct for the weld process
being used.
1. Check the operation of the mode
switch (S2) and the associated
circuitry. See wiring diagram.
2. Check for loose or faulty connec-
