Hi.
I have a magmate 180p from BOC. i am using a cig roll of flux cored/gasless wire. i am having problems the the contact tips. they seize up all the time. i think it is because some spatter get pushed back into the shroud and goes in he holes where the gas usually comes out, which then blocks the tips.
Also whenever i start the arc the wire just stops and then i have to start again. sometimes because of this the wire burns back and melts into the tip. could this be because the amps anre set too high.
thanks
