Hi all.
Couldn't figure out why my welds were getting worse. Work ground quality? Maybe a little. Wire speed? Kinda. Voltage? Not really.
I purge the gun line of gas when I shut down for the day. (not sure if this is correct. I'll find out)
What I did: close tank valve, reg, release wire tensioner, turn on, press gun trigger. Each I released wire tensioner I think I was decreasing (turning CCW) the tension. I had a feeling it might be a wire feed issue so I read the manual, and put the tension back to where it was. Better welds.
Tip: Check tension on wire feed roller
