current and voltage values will be displayed during welding.
If necessary, during welding, adjust current.
C - Hot Start:
Adjust hot start time on knob 3 between 0 and 1 seg. to increase initial current and optimize arc ignition.
This function is used specially for low current welding jobs.
D - Arc Force:
Adjust arc force with knob 6 between 0 and 100% welding current to avoid electrode sticking.
TIG WELDING
