"compliance charge"?? WTF?? !!


G'day Bob,
I had the same problem. On shutting down the welder (150 amp WIA mig,
gas type) I packed shop rags around the spool which is inside the
welder housing.
I also used a clothes peg and fastened a bit of 'scotchbrite' pad
around the wire just before it entered the feed. Haven't had any
further problems.
