Big Shit !!

unlucky me!

the brandnew mig welder that i got three days ago, is already out of order. 

two days ago i made first welding attempts and adjustments. and it was fun to work with it. easy handling and good welding results for such a cheap welding machine. 

but i think this is the problem; they wrote "only for personal, but not for commercial use. 

is it that why it can get broken after day two? i don´t think so!!

i made one welding spot on the second day, the adjustments weren´t changed, then the radiator inside stopped turning, the front displays got black. but the main switch on the rear of the machine was still on and the light inside was burning.

a little bit confused i read the instruction manuals again and there they wrote about an overheating switch, that would reactivate the system after cooling down to normal temperatures. 

okay, if it would have been hot...but after only one welding spot??!!

anyway, i waited more than 20 minutes doing other things instead, and restarted the system. no change!

then i switched off everything and waited another half an hour. again no change!

now i sent the machine back to the company and hope to get it back repaired or exchanged against a new one before x-mas... (okay this was a joke! i prepared myself getting it back the next year!)
