I turned on the 1 yr old welder, started to weld, but it was if there was no earth, then I saw the OC light was on, turned machine off, checked earth clamp, started again, but only the fan is going now, but a small ticking sound is noticeable from the middle of the machine.
Check the internal fuse. If that is okay, check all connections and check for continuity across the heavy windings. Transformer may have burned open at a power tap. Or the heavy contactor burned out.
If you do not have a manual, They do not have any douwnloadable at their website http://www.fsh-welding.com If you do need to contact them, I hope your French is up to snuff-

a mig welding unit of 100 amps is very low, you will require a small wire size, plus the contact tip, liner to suit, expect to get a maximum amperage of 70- 80 amps max, if the unit is Aluminium wound transformer then expect 6 months use, and the ampage will drop ,then its scrap, depending on the weather conditions that the unit is kept, will depend on the live of the unit.

You may have the scew settint your wire tension set to tight. Try loosening the tension and if that doesnt work check the eletrical wire that supplies the power to the roller and make sure it hasnt become disconected.

OC light stays off now, inside machine, a small red light flashes when you first start it.
