I really need help! When a object is ground, the only way the wire can spark is when you tap the wire onto the ground object and pull the "trigger"

But when i everything is ground, without triggering the gun.. Why is it still welding?? Aint it supposed to weld, only when you hit the trigger.? As if the trigger only acts as a wirefeed.

Kinda of confuzing how i explained it.. But please help! THanks.

 

Extremely confusing. The any rig ive ever used pulling the trigger just advances the wire.

sound like you need some surface prep....make sure there's no dust or paint on the area where you're welding ...and the ground clamps to bare metal

 

first fill up you tanks second do as he said and clean the surface make sure your grounded ....if that dont work get new welder and give old one to me

 

Some MIG welders I have used in the past operate this way as well. The trigger only feeds the wore. The tip is always "hot" so to speak

yea my welder works the same way, all the trigger does is advance the wire.

if you have a ground and contact the tip it will go off

 

on my hobart mig the tip is "hot" as the otehr guy said only when u pull the trigger, you can sit the wire on there all day but it wont do **** until you pull that trigger
