From Hobart to You
Thank you and congratulations on choosing Hobart. Now you can get the
job done and get it done right. We know you don’t have time to do it any
other way.
This Owner’s Manual is designed to help you get the most out of your
Hobart products. Please take time to read the Safety precautions. They
will help you protect yourself against potential hazards on the worksite.
We’ve made installation and operation quick
and easy. With Hobart you can count on years
of reliable service with proper maintenance.
And if for some reason the unit needs repair,
there’s a Troubleshooting section that will help
you figure out what the problem is. The parts
list will then help you to decide the exact part

Wire feed speed too high. Select lower wire feed speed.
Electrode extension (stickout) too long. Use shorter electrode extension (stickout).
Workpiece dirty. Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, undercoating, and dirt from work surface before welding.
Insufficient shielding gas at welding arc. Increase flow of shielding gas at regulator/flowmeter and/or prevent drafts near welding arc.
S-0635
Insufficient shielding gas at welding arc. Increase flow of shielding gas at regulator/flowmeter and/or prevent drafts near welding arc.
Hold gun near bead at end of weld until molten metal solidifies.
Wrong gas. Use welding grade shielding gas; change to different gas.
Workpiece dirty. Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, coatings, and dirt from work surface before welding.
Welding wire extends too far out of nozzle. Be sure welding wire extends not more than 1/2 in (13 mm) beyond nozzle.
Excessive heat input. Select lower voltage range and reduce wire feed speed.
Improper joint preparation. Material too thick. Joint preparation and design must provide access to bottom of groove while
maintaining proper welding wire extension and arc characteristics.
Improper weld technique. Maintain normal gun angle of 0 to 15 degrees to achieve maximum penetration.
Be sure welding wire extends not more than 1/2 in (13 mm) beyond nozzle.
Insufficient heat input. Select higher wire feed speed and/or select higher voltage range.
S-0637
Workpiece dirty. Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, undercoating, and dirt from work surface before
welding.
Insufficient heat input. Select higher voltage range and/or adjust wire feed speed.
Improper welding technique. Place stringer bead in proper location(s) at joint during welding.
Momentarily hold arc on groove side walls when using weaving technique.
S-0640
Excessive heat input. Select lower voltage range and reduce wire feed speed.
Waviness Of Bead − weld metal that is not parallel and does not cover
joint formed by base metal.
S-0641
Welding wire extends too far out of nozzle. Be sure welding wire extends not more than 1/2 in (13 mm) beyond nozzle.
Excessive heat input. Use restraint (clamp) to hold base metal in position.
