I've a SIP Weldmate P184 (Tig/ARC/Plasma Multi-mode) - and it's stopped cutting.
The machine has power, and switches on the air-jet when the trigger is pressed..... but there's no spark, no plasma.
(I'm aware that there's a small spark but no actual cut if there's no air available - but I'm not getting that.)
I've tested on a bit of scrap metal, and cleaned both the patch the earth-clamp connects to, and the spot the electrode contacts..... no change.
The system was working just fine 5 days ago: I was cutting some 6mm plate.
Any suggestions of what to check?
(and is there a copy of the manual available on-line?)
