• Set Tension Knob Setting to 3 at start. Adjust tension per instructions in the manual.
• Wire Speed listed is a starting value only. Wire speed setting can be fine-tuned while welding. Wire speed
also depends on other variables such as stick out, travel speed, weld angle, cleanliness of metal, etc.
