Hello all, new member, although have been lurking for a while and picked up loads of valuable advice.
Just set up the machine out of the box...tried gasless welding with the supplied .9mm wire (have also brought wherewithall for gas welding to try later)...but I am completely failing to get an arc, there is nothing - no sign of life. The machine is on, the fan is working and the spool is feeding the wire through fine. I'm pretty sure I have the earth clamp the right way round (+ve to workpiece for gasless?). Any ideas people?
