I just received this welded for small tasks around the house. First attempts to weld anything and it is not striking an arc to anything no matter how clean or what material. Finally I tried a quick trigger pull right to the copper on the ground clamp and nothing happened.

Where do I start my troubleshooting or do I just send it back?

Thanks

    This is the way. I have to change my machine around depending on what gas I’m using and what metal I’m welding.

    New machine problems.

      This was exactly it. I was just not paying attention… Works good though!
