What mode should I use, Manual or PowerSet?
The manual mode is the basic mode that allows you to select and choose
your own setting. This is designed for experienced users who have a
basic understanding of MIG welding, wire types, and the technical limits of
the thicknesses of the wire and volt and wire speed requirements of differ-
ent thicknesses of metals. If you are new to MIG welding, the PowerSet
mode may be your best choice when setting up the unit. This PowerSet
mode helps to simplify setup, and reduce the amount of testing needed to
derive a correct setting.
If you wish to use the Manual mode, the unit operates very similarly to any
other type of MIG. This unit offers adjustment of both wire feed speed and
voltage in incremental steps. The full range of adjustment of the machine
is available to you at any time. The unit may also be adjusted while weld-
ing without causing harm to the machine.
Using Manual Mode
To use the mode:
1.
Choose the Gas Type/Mode (i.e. MIG25, MIG 100, or Flux
-
Cored). This is important. You will always need to select this whether you intend to
use the PowerSet function or not to ensure that the correct gas programming and arc force (inductance) is being used.
2.
Select the spool gun function if the spool gun has been connected.
3.
Use the left control knob to set the Wire Feed Speed (WFS). This is the top, center numerical value seen in the illustration above.
4.
Use the right control knob to set the Voltage (V). The Voltage is the bottom, center numerical value seen in the illustration above.
OPERATION NOTES:
1.
The Select buttons do not function or serve a purpose in the manual mode.
2.
The segmented bars with the 4 point star serve only as a place holder in this mode. They serve no other purpose in manual mode.
3.
Manual mode may allow you to exceed the wire and/or unit
’
s capacity. Keep in mind this unit is 140A @ 25% Duty cycle.
4.
You may need to purchase additional drive rolls, liners, contact tips, nozzles and other items to take advantage of the full range of this machine.
5.
Although other wire diameters and types are offered, and can be used this unit will function in the widest range with
.030”
solid wire.
