1. modern Mig welders are very touchy on voltage, there are 2 , 208 and 230, some machines you have to check the voltage and move a jumper inside the machine to the proper voltage.

2. sections of the wire burning off, suggests, too low an amperage, to slow a wire speed, or too large a wire.

3. take it back to where it was bought and ask them to demonstrate it for you.

4. you should be able to obtain an operaters, maintenance manual for it from the Company that made it.
