Hello to you all and merry christmas to you and your families.
I have not used the welder for a 12month and i came to use it last night and no surprise it would not work on tig it turned out to be the contacts on is it the high frequency points had some sort of greasy coating on them i cleaned them and all is well. But my welding has plenty of room for improvement.
A couple of questions.
when on soft start i assume it does what is says on the tin soft to start with then it should ramp up as the foot control is used?
Has anyone got a manual for these machines.
PS on an edit is it ok to run the welder without the cooling water running as the machine is no where near working hard with what i use it for.
also it will stick weld has anyone got a set of leads with rod holder i could purchase i have stick welded before as i did repair stick welders for a fabricating company when i was an apprentice sparks that is a long time ago now. It would be a useful addition to the monster.
