3 things I've done to stop my old welder from jamming. use the next size up tip. adjust liner so it almost contacts roller. lighten the pressure on the rollers until they feed wire but will still slip if you put it in a bind like shorting wire to tip or too small a radius in lead when welding in a bad position. I do these things with my Hobart machine and never had a problem jamming, even after welding the wire to tip so bad I have to take a grinder to it to seperate them. eventually I had to replace the liner on my old Harbor Freight welder. I used a teflon liner pulled from a bicycle cable and it worked so much better.
