Hi
I'm an artist I've used a mig and arc welder for years. I wanted to try tig welding. I has some money and saw a few reviews saying this was a good welder for the price.
I bought it and unboxed it ,the Tig part arced small little arcs on testing and as it was late. I left it
I had other work for the next week.... after all this I got ill and had to take time off...... the warranty expired and when I returned to work. I tried to use the machine it still did a little arc that you can watch with a naked eye but nothing else. The MMA arc does nothing. I looked inside everything looks connected but there is no power.
I just wish i had properly tested it. I feel such a fool. I wished that I had checked it properly.
I saw some threads on this forum and was hoping for some advice or where to go to get it fixed.For some reason it's easier to find them from google than within the website itself...but I'm new to this site.
I feel it's either not properly connected somewhere or a switch doesn't work. I don't know where to start to look everything looks fine everything looks to work but it doesn't do more than a tiny arc with no oomph!
Any ideas? I will send some photos Wednesday....... Thank you in advance. Nikki
