PM255 issues/problems?

[brimy311]

I just bought a new powermig 255 about a week and a half ago...

Anyways, seem to be having some problems getting a clean weld out of it.

Say i set the machine at 200 Wire feed and 16 Volts, start welding and then the machine will jump to like 20volts and it will start to Spatt.

Anyone have any problems like this?

Well, i called lincoln today. I was expecting a run around, but they actually were great! Turns out the contol panel on my new machine is faulty. I am getting a replacement welder on wensday. Good enough :)

Glad to hear you got it all worked out, ive had my PM255 for about 9 months, its an awsome machine, you dont hear too many of them having issues.

Got the new machine yesterday, wow what a difference! Mine other one was really running bad! lol. Welding with this thing is easy!
