Problem: Wire feeds erratically or stops mid-weld.

Manual solution: Check drive roll tension (page 9). Also ensure the spool hub brake is not too tight. The manual shows a thumbscrew inside the spool compartment—loosen it until the spool spins freely but doesn’t overrun.

Wire Size: Use .030" (0.8mm) flux-core wire (E71T-GS) for standard operation. 3. Troubleshooting Common "Wire Feed" Issues Download Link: [Insert link to Google Drive, ManualsLib,

Spool Tension: Tighten the spool nut just enough to prevent it from unravelling when you stop welding.
