SMALL PUDDLES NO PENATRATION WELDER IS FARM HAND 115 VOLT MIG//FLUX CORE WIRE FEED PUT ON ANY SETTING NO DIF CANT FIND MODLE IT HAS CHPOWER.COM WEB ADDRESS

I would call miller and get a number for the closest repair station. They have a three year parts and labor warranty. 1-920-735-4505

try to use bare .032 wire and co2 shielded gas, If the equipment does not have a gas solenoid you may have to wire a solenoid to the trigger mechanism to get the gas to flow while the wire is feeding. The bare wire usually copper coated burns much hotter than the flux core when there is a gas shield. Also a .032 bare wire with a gas shield burns a a lower amp range and will get better penetration.

You may have to experiment with the feed rate and gas flow to get the correct setting, but the bare wire has a lot less resistance to current flow than the flux core and will burn a lot hotter when you use a gas shield.

At 115 vac there is not a lot of amperage left to create an arc and run the feeder and the rest of the unit , and the flux core wire takes a lot of amperage to burn both the wire and the flux . .

Hi:
Her's the link to the site; all you need to do is to input the model number.

Hi:
Disconnect you ground clamp form the negative side pole and switch it to the positive pole, same for the gun disconnect the from the positive side and switch it to the negative pole.
Good luck.

I wll check the gun liner and see if it is kinked. Check also your contact tip, must be same diameter as the wire, if you are running flux core wire, oversize your tip, example if wire is 030, then use a 035 tip. Check also drive rolls, for flux core must require knurled drive rolls instead of grooved ones.

If wire pushes your hand away when welding you need to do one of the following:
Reduce your wire speed, or increase the voltage.

Check your input line voltage. 115 volt Mig welders / plasma cutters need stable voltage / current. Test to see if the voltage drops to below 100 volts when welding. If so, find a more stable power supply.

Are you using combination argon/co2 gas? You need a flow regulator and should have it set for about 10cfm. Note that this is different than a pressure regulator. The problem you note is a result of inadequate or improper gas.

Try to turn up the wire feed and the volts and pull the cup 1/8 inch past the tip
