Tell Brad Brown what the model is because he is our Welding Expert. I just know a bit, but can find stuff :>D

If your Miller Trailblazer 302 AC/DC welder generator is starting and putting out electricity, but will not weld in any position, there are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the issue:

• Firstly, check the welding cable connections and make sure they are secure and clean. Check the cable itself and make sure there is no damage or corrosion.
• Secondly, check the welder's ground clamp. Make sure it's clean and tight, and that the ground connection is secure.
• Thirdly, check the welding gun liner, and make sure it's not blocked or damaged, this can cause the wire to feed improperly.
• Fourthly, check the wire feeder, make sure it's functioning properly, and that the wire is feeding smoothly.
• Lastly, check the voltage and amperage of the welder. Make sure it's set to the correct settings for the type of welding you are trying to do.

It's important to check the manual of the welder for troubleshooting steps and also check the warranty of the welder and see if it's still covered by the manufacturer. If you are not able to find the problem or if you are not familiar with welding equipment, it's best to take your welder to a qualified Miller Electric welder repair service center, they will be able to diagnose and fix the issue.

I ahve a linclon ideal arc 250 welder which is 480V 3 phase I would like to change it over to 220V single, what are the procedures.

Take it back to the store and exchange it.

i had the same problem. its probably a bad solder on the wire feed pot. not hard to fix ,but you need a solering iron .BE CAREFULL 1 unplug welder.
2 remove pot and the nut underneath.
3 remove case from welder and remove controll box.
4 run the soldering iron over the joins , then put it all back together, should work fine.

your feeder may need adjusting or more commonly the tip has tacked itself on the edn cap
keep the line as straight as you can & keep feeder compartment clean!
keep plyers handy for when wire is stuck in the tip
if you need to replace wire spool or a brakage of the wire make sure the wire is free or BURRS b4 you put it in the tube or you will damage the tube!

THE OUTER ONES ARE HOT AND THE MIDDLE ONE IS YOUR NEUTRAL

this is a very cheap welder ,so dont hope for a lot out of this welder.any who this is called a feeder hose.and you'll have to practice running the wire th ru this feeder hose to straighten the wire out till the wire goes th ru the hose do not have the wire going th ru the machine that the clamp is tightened tighten after the wire is through.and then the wire should only be tight enough to push the wire through ,thats something you ll have to play with to get it right.hope this helps .jojogunne

to find out if you need a new reostat disconnect the wires from it and put an ohm meter on it and check the ohms resistance it should read up and down ohms as you turn the dial.
