ITEM# 320

• Usually due to low input power.

• Welder should be only thing plugged into circuit.

• Avoid using extension cords. If one must be used, it must be #12 AWG (120V) or

#10 AWG (240V) or larger; 25’ (8m) or shorter.

• Generators must be 10,000 W (240 V) or 4,000 W (120 V) continuous output and

not have a low-idle function (or have it disabled).

Low weld output or poor fusion

Welder should be the only thing plugged into the circuit.

Frequently tripping circuit breaker or exceeding

duty-cycle

Connect ground clamp to clean, bare metal. No

rust, paint or other coatings. Attach the ground

clamp directly to the workpiece if you are

experiencing issues.

Workpiece grounding

• Not recommended for this machine.

• Output is DC only which is not recommended for TIG

welding aluminum.

Frequently tripping circuit breaker or exceeding

duty-cycle

Use 5/32” diameter electrodes or smaller. Some 5/32” will draw too much

amperage (stick).

Trying to weld single pass on material larger than 3/8” thick is not possible

with this machine. Multi-pass recommended for thicker materials.

Welding machine should be the only thing plugged into the circuit.

Duty-cycle exceeded or

insufficient air flow. Allow

machine to cool. Ensure vents

are clear of obstacles. See

manual.

Incorrect input power. Verify

power source is 120V or 240V

+/- 10%. Use proper extension

Shield Cup loose or missing.

Check consumable assembly.

Tighten cup. See manual.

Incorrect input air pressure.

Ensure air input meets pressure

and flow requirements. 80 PSI

and 4.0 CFM recommended.

See manual.

Plasma torch is triggered when
