• Select the type of the electrode to be used via the selection button. Select the rutile/basic) aluminium
electrode mode for rutile, basic or aluminium electrodes. Select the cellulosic electrode mode for cellulosic
electrodes.
• Adjust the current cia current adjustment knob.
• Below table can be used as a rough reference for mild steel electrodes. For exact parameters, please refer to
the electrode manufacturer’s recommendations.
• For better ignition turn the HOT START knob clock-wise. Welding arc can drill the metal when it is very thin
and HOT START is high.
• ARC FORCE is useful for electrodes which have tendency to stick into the weld pool during welding. Turning
the knob clock-wise will decrease the tendency to stick. If ARC FORCE is adjusted too high, spatter increases.
• Start welding. You can observe welding current (A) and voltage (V) by current display and voltage display.
• Push the welding mode selection button for selecting the carbon gouging mode. Carbon gouging lec lights.
• Adjust the current via current adjustment knob.
