I was Welding some spots before weldig a line, first and sekond spot was ok but during the Third the welder suddenly stopped. and now i can not get any ignition at all. And the best thing of all..... I can`t find my user manual

Welcome Jan :hug:

Which model of Telmig is it?
Any pics of inside to allow pointing you to what to check.
Sound like it might be the low voltage DC weld voltage has a break in the feed. or could be the AC to the main transformer. the power selector switches, output of main transformer, cables across to the rectifier or the rectifier output to the torch.
Sorry to be so vague but different machines take there power (the working parts of yours) for the pcb + gas valve + wire feed from different places They may use the welding voltage for some of it or may have there own separate transformer / power supply for these.
