The E indicates Electrode because some welding rods
are not electrodes. The 60 in 6010 indicates the tensile
strength in psi. 60,000 lbs.
The last 2 digits indicate position and polarity along with
what type flux. See

5.5 OPERATING THE GENERATOR
For a detailed account concerning the Generator Mode
ON and OFF functions, consult
Appendix B
,
Section
B.5.1
an
Section B.5.2
.
To operate the generator:
1. Start the engine.
NOTE
The Power System is designed to
support a multi-function project.
However, if the generator is operating at
a high percentage of its rated capacity,
and the welder and air compressor are
also being used, the resulting drop in
engine speed may produce a low voltage
condition that will damage the generator
and power tools being used.
