Synchrowave 300 weirdness.

admin

Did some aluminum welding tonight and had something that never has happened and don't really know what to do? Welding all was fine, stopped and left torch in position for post flow gas and tungsten had an electric current to the work. Once post flow stops so does "ghost" current. Current looks like what you get when the ground isn't attached and you hit the pedal. Just installed a new power lead as my old one had a water leak, other then that all is the same. Any help you can throw my way is greatly appreciated. LesterSent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Reply:I did notice that is was in the "fill" position and turned it back off but haven't welded since doing so. Don't remember switching it on! I'll let you know if that fixes it. Thanks!LesterSent from my iPad using Tapatalk
