MIGMASTER 275 SETUP GUIDE
TO SET WELD PARAMETERS
1. Find the type and thickness of material to be welded. Set recommended Slope Tap (Steep or Flat).
2. Find the filler metal wire diameter to be used.
3. Find the suggested wire speed, tap, and range settings by following the wire diameter row
across (to the right) to the plate thickness column.
4. Set the wire feed speed knob, tap selector, and range selector to the positions indicated.
