Parkside flux core shutting off

[rb02259]

Hi all

Went out to do a little practice welding at lunch time and my parkside flux core welder shut itself off when cold twice when I first turned it on.

Is there an explanation for why that might happen or would that justify getting on to them re the warranty?

It worked after that for about an hour

Did you move it from a cold place to a warm place... (?)
...thinking- it might have had condensation inside, causing a short...(?) which hopefully would evaporate off with the fan, without causing a long term problem.

When I bought my new TV, I read the instructions (!) (couldn't figure out the stand) and one of the things it said was to allow the tv to acclimatise to indoors before first use...

Is it working now? I normally keep mine in the original box in the shed, & covered with a thick cloth, to try avert this issue.

Thanks bud that's a good shout ! As a matter of fact I store it unboxed in a very bad wooden shed I got from argos lol. It's let I water from day one so this could definitely be the problem. I always weld outside so in Northern Ireland I think that means it was moved from cold to cold haha. Yes it's working now so perhaps I will try get something to store it in and just monitor

Thanks
