nu tool mig welder problem????
« on: February 14, 2010, 14:09:00 »
i just bought a near new nu tool 101-2, bodyshop mig welder that the power lead had been cut off for another welder, other than that it was supposed to work, ive replaced the wire and the only thing happening is a click from the circuit board, but a closer look and iv found another wire that looks to have been cut but cant find where it goes,
im just wondering if anyone on here has got the same welder that could take a pic of the wires from the switch's so i can trace where it goes

cheers

the only wires that are attached to the power lead are your live, earth and neatural line. there is probibly another underlying problem with it.
if there is a click it sounds like the power is getting to your motor but stopping there(wild stab in the dark, could be a hundred other problems)
open the welder up, follow your neatural and live lines and see if you can see anything out of place along there. have you checked all the fuses in there?

if it is kaput i have a sealy 150/5 supermig for sale if you want one cheap.
