OPERATION SECTION 4
When the WELD PROCESS switch is
moved to the TIG or STICK position,
electrode becomes electrically
“HOT”. Do not allow the electrode to
contact ground potential until you are
ready to make a weld.
Arc Force is automatically enabled when the WELD PROCESS switch is set
to the STICK position. The level of Arc Force is automatically adjusted by the
current preset being used.
Step 1. Be sure to set the polarity to DCEP (Electrode Positive) by placing
the Electrode Holder cable in the Positive connection lug on the front

Step 2. Place the WELD PROCESS switch in the STICK position.
Step 3. Place the PANEL/REMOTE switch in the PANEL position.
Step 4. Place STANDARD/PULSE switch in the STANDARD position.
Step 5. While holding the PRESET button, turn the VOLTAGE/CURRENT
knob to the desired weld current in the top digital display window.
Step 6. Strike the electrode on the workpiece and start welding. Trim the
welding current as needed for the desired weld pool control.
