Sealey 200XTD - Manual (Page 8)

9.1 Machine frequently cuts out: (A) The welder is being overworked causing the thermostatic control to activate. (B) May also be due
to a sticking electrode causing the machine to cut out for up to ten minutes. Cut out will automatically reset when welder has cooled.
9.2 Difficulty in striking an arc: a). The electrode is damp. Heat it up to 60º - 70º before using.
b). Wrong type of electrode.
