Gasless machines have some welding spatter, no matter what.
Are You using flux core wire? flux core wire is for gasless use and solid core wire is for gas operation. Best results are from a gas rig ,thats what I use.

Try turning down the heat. You might have too much power causing the wire to explode before it bonds with the metal. If the wire pushes away from the metal then you dont have enough power. Good luck.

Buy flux core wire. If you can't find any in .030 then buy some argon and strap a little tube onto your gun to fog it onto your work while you're welding.
