QUICK START GUIDE cont'd

Select the wire material, wire size and shielding gas to be
used. Return to the main menu by pushing the knob for
at least 2 seconds.

3- SET THE THICKNESS OF THE METAL BY TURNING

KNOB

4- ADJUSTING THE WELDING VOLTAGE (ARC

LENGTH)

If the wire tends to disappear within the gas nozze while
you would like to see its length, for instance to easily
reach corners or to direct it where you wish, then we need
to shorten the arc by setting it to a lower value of voltage,
thus creating a greater stick out.
