Thread: 250ex high frequency staying on

    Default 250ex high frequency staying on

    Was doing a small repair job and did a few tack welds on steel and started to do some grinding and high frequency came on by itself when I didnt have torch or pedal close to me, now when I use pedal nothing but high frequency stays on.i turned machine off and unhooked pedal and turned machine back on and high frequency is still on.

    The micro switch is stuck or needs adjustment on the pedal...most likely cause.

    Sounds like he is saying it does it with the pedal unplugged.

    Yep. Missed that. Shaking the cobwebs out this morning. In that case it's internal, but it could be simple as a connector or something. You should call tech support at 207 though and get a walk through basic checks
