When you say 'hot' do you mean hot as in temperature or as in powered? The
reason I ask is that mine, the trigger of which controls the gas, wire feed
and voltage/current to the wire, doesn't seem to want to weld cleanly until
I have had two or three false starts with spitting and blobbing. I always
press the trigger with the power off first to check gas flow, it strikes (no
pun intended) me that either something has to 'warm up' before it starts
welding cleanly, or possibly the gas is taking longer to get through the
tube than I would have expected.
If you mean your wire is always powered then using a shroud with
'castellations' and snipping the wire to shorter than the castellations will
allow you to position it without risk of striking an arc until you advance
the wire.
