4-1. Serial Number And Rating Label Location
The serial number and rating information for this product is located on the back of unit. Use rating label to determine input power requirements
and/or rated output. For future reference, write serial number in space provided on back cover of this manual.

4-2. Software Licensing Agreement


The End User License Agreement and any third-party notices and terms and conditions pertaining to third-party software can be found at
https://www.hobartwelders.com/eula and are incorporated by reference herein.

4-3. Information About Default Weld Parameters And Settings


NOTICE – Each welding application is unique. Although certain Miller Electric products are designed to determine and default to certain typical
welding parameters and settings based upon specific and relatively limited application variables input by the end user, such default settings are
for reference purposes only; and final weld results can be affected by other variables and application-specific circumstances. The appropriate-
ness of all parameters and settings should be evaluated and modified by the end user as necessary based upon application-specific require-
ments. The end user is solely responsible for selection and coordination of appropriate equipment, adoption or adjustment of default weld
parameters and settings, and ultimate quality and durability of all resultant welds. Miller Electric expressly disclaims any and all implied warran-
ties including any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

overheating.

If unit overheats, Thermistor (RT1) opens,


output stops, and cooling fan runs. Wait fif-
teen minutes for unit to cool. Reduce amper-
age or voltage, or duty cycle before welding.

and shielding gas, but will feed wire continuously at the preset wire feed speed for up to 20 feet (6.1 m). Once 20 feet (6.1 m) of wire is delivered,
a trigger error will occur until trigger is released. When using a spoolgun , if the trigger is held for 3 seconds without striking an arc the unit will au-

7-7. Troubleshooting

Trouble Remedy
No weld output; wire does not feed. Secure power cord plug in receptacle (see Section 5-11).
Check and replace power switch if necessary.
Replace building line fuse or reset circuit breaker if open (see Section 5-11).
Secure gun plug in receptacle or repair leads, or replace trigger switch (see welding gun Owner's
Manual).
No weld output; wire feeds. Connect work clamp to get good metal to metal contact.
Replace contact tip (see welding gun Owner's Manual).
Check connections at output terminals of welder.
Low weld output. Connect unit to proper input voltage or check for low line voltage (see Section 5-11).
Low, high, or erratic wire speed. Adjust front panel settings (see Section 6-1).
Change to correct size drive roll (see Section 7-3).
Adjust drive roll pressure (see Section 5-12).
Replace inlet guide, contact tip, and/or liner if necessary (see welding gun Owner's Manual).
Wire Drive/Gun Trouble Remedy
Wire feeding stops during welding. Straighten gun cable and/or replace damaged parts (see welding gun Owner's Manual).
Adjust drive roll pressure (see Section 5-12).
Readjust hub tension (see Section 5–8).
Replace contact tip if blocked (see welding gun Owner's Manual).
Clean or replace wire inlet guide or liner if dirty or plugged (see welding gun Owner's Manual).
Replace drive roll if worn or slipping (see Section 7–3).
Secure gun plug in receptacle or repair leads, or replace trigger switch (see welding gun Owner's
Manual).
Check and clear any restrictions at drive assembly and liner (see welding gun Owner's Manual).
Have nearest Factory Authorized Service Agent check drive motor.

Low Voltage: wire stubs into work
High Voltage: arc is unstable (spatter)

9-8. Troubleshooting – Excessive Spatter

Excessive Spatter - scattering of molten metal particles that cool to solid form near weld bead.

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.
Eliminate pickup of oil or lubricant on welding wire from feeder or liner.
Incorrect polarity. Check polarity required by welding wire, and change to correct polarity at welding power
source.

9-9. Troubleshooting – Porosity

Porosity - small cavities or holes resulting from gas pockets in weld metal.

Possible Causes Corrective Actions


Insufficient shielding gas at welding arc. Increase flow of shielding gas at regulator/flowmeter and/or prevent drafts near welding arc.
Remove spatter from gun nozzle.
Check gas hoses for leaks.
Place nozzle 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6-13 mm) from workpiece.
Hold gun near bead at end of weld until molten metal solidifies.
Wrong gas. Use welding grade shielding gas; change to different gas.
Dirty welding wire. Use clean, dry welding wire.
Eliminate pick up of oil or lubricant on welding wire from feeder or liner.
Workpiece dirty. Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, coatings, and dirt from work surface before
welding.
Use a more highly deoxidizing welding wire (contact supplier).
Welding wire extends too far out of nozzle. Be sure welding wire extends not more than 1/2 in. (13 mm) beyond nozzle.

9-10. Troubleshooting – Excessive Penetration

Excessive Penetration - weld metal melting through base metal and hanging underneath
weld.

Possible Causes Corrective Actions


Excessive heat input. Select lower voltage range and reduce wire feed speed.
Increase travel speed.

OM-284833 Page 36
9-11. Troubleshooting – Lack Of Penetration

Lack Of Penetration - shallow fusion between weld metal and base metal.

Possible Causes Corrective Actions


Improper joint preparation. Material too thick. Joint preparation and design must provide access to bottom of groove while
maintaining proper welding wire extension and arc characteristics.
Improper weld technique. Maintain normal gun angle of 0 to 15 degrees to achieve maximum penetration.
Keep arc on leading edge of weld puddle.
Be sure welding wire extends not more than 1/2 in (13 mm) beyond nozzle.
Insufficient heat input. Select higher wire feed speed and/or select higher voltage range.
Reduce travel speed.
Incorrect polarity. Check polarity required by welding wire, and change to correct polarity at welding power
source.

9-12. Troubleshooting – Incomplete Fusion

Incomplete Fusion - failure of weld metal to fuse completely with base metal or a preceeding
weld bead.

Possible Causes Corrective Actions


Workpiece dirty. Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, undercoating, and dirt from work surface before
welding.
Insufficient heat input. Select higher voltage range and/or adjust wire feed speed.
Improper welding technique. Place stringer bead in proper location(s) at joint during welding.
Adjust work angle or widen groove to access bottom during welding.
Momentarily hold arc on groove side walls when using weaving technique.
Keep arc on leading edge of weld puddle.
Use correct gun angle of 0 to 15 degrees.

9-13. Troubleshooting – Burn-Through

Burn-Through - weld metal melting completely through base metal resulting in holes where no
metal remains.

Possible Causes Corrective Actions


Excessive heat input. Select lower voltage range and reduce wire feed speed.
Increase and/or maintain steady travel speed.

9-14. Troubleshooting – Waviness Of Bead

Waviness Of Bead - weld metal that is not parallel and does not cover joint formed by base
metal.

Possible Causes Corrective Actions


Welding wire extends too far out of nozzle. Be sure welding wire extends not more than 1/2 in. (13 mm) beyond nozzle.
Unsteady hand. Support hand on solid surface or use two hands.

OM-284833 Page 37
9-15. Troubleshooting – Distortion

Distortion - contraction of weld metal during welding that forces base metal to move.
Illustration: Base metal moves in the direction of the weld bead.

Possible Causes Corrective Actions


Excessive heat input. Use restraint (clamp) to hold base metal in position.
Make tack welds along joint before starting welding operation.
Select lower voltage range and/or reduce wire feed speed.
Increase travel speed.
Weld in small segments and allow cooling between welds.

9-16. Common MIG Shielding Gases


This is a general chart for common gases and where they are used. Many different combinations (mixtures) of shielding gases have been devel-
oped over the years. The most commonly used shielding gases are listed in the following table.
