in the top digital display window.
Step 4. Turn the VOLTAGE 4 knob to the desired arc voltage
in the bottom digital display window.
Step 5. Set the shielding gas flow rate to 35 cfh by pulling
the gun trigger and turning the adjustment knob
on the R33-FM 580 Flowmeter.
Step 6. Pull the gun trigger and start welding. Trim the
