This section provides general guide-
lines and may not suit all applications.
The control panel shows the typical
settings for welding with a 7018 (1/8 in)
electrode. Consult the amperage
selection tables below if welding with
other electrodes.

Electrode Holder
Connect Work cable to Work terminal and
Electrode holder cable to Electrode termi-
nal on welding generator.
Be sure to use the correct size weld
cables (see Section 4-8).
For best performance, set the Coarse
Range switch to the lowest range that
covers the desired weld amperage.
Use the Fine control to select the de-
sired amperage within the range se-
lected. When properly set, the Fine
control is normally set at 7 or higher.
Typical Settings For 7018 (1/8 in)
Electrode:
>
Set Weld Process Selector switch to
+ Stick position.
>
Set Coarse Range switch to 60-140
(1/8”) position.
>
Set Fine control at 7 or higher for
best results.
