cOMPONENTS AND cONTROLS
1. Power Switch
– The Power Switch also serves as the overload Circuit Breaker
and is located at the right of the rear panel (Fig. C).
2. Amperage (Front Panel)
– Set the Output Amperage Knob marked “A” (Fig. A)
located at upper left of the top panel to an appropriate setting based on the thickness
and type of the metal being welded.
(Refer to Data Chart for actual settings)
.
3. Amperage (Foot Pedal)
– Same operation as the panel control but is used while
the foot pedal is in use (Fig B).
4. Clearance Effect
– The Clearance Effect Knob (Fig. A) is located at the
upper right of the top panel. Clearance Effect will control how much cleaning
versus penetration occurs. The more negative the value will result in greater
penetration and less cleaning and the more positive the value will result in less
penetration but greater cleaning.
5. Pre Flow
– The Pre Flow Knob located at the lower left of the top panel (Fig. A)
controls the time (in seconds) that the shielding gas starts to flow after the trigger or
foot pedal is press before the arc starts.
(Refer to Data Chart for actual settings)
.
6. Post Flow
– The Post Flow Knob located at the lower right of the top panel (Fig. A)
controls the time (in seconds) that the shielding gas continues to flow after the
trigger or foot pedal is released.
(Refer to Data Chart for actual settings)
.
7. Gas Flow
– The included regulator limits the shielding gas flow from the bottle
and also displays how much gas is left in the bottle. The Gas Flow Indicator
Gauge is located on the left side and is generally set between 12 to 21 SCFH.
(Refer to Data Chart for actual settings)
. This is explained in further detail in
the Preparing to Weld section of this manual. The gauge on the right indicates the
pressure left in the tank.
8. AC/DC
– The DC setting is used for welding steel and stainless steel while the
AC setting is used for welding aluminum. (Fig. A)
(Refer to Data Chart for
actual settings)
.
9. Foot Pedal/Panel Control
– The Foot Pedal/Panel Control selection switch
is located at the upper right of the top panel and when set in the ‘Foot Pedal’
position, the Foot Pedal control is activated. When set to the ‘Panel Control’
position, the Torch Trigger is activated. (Fig. A)
10. Torch Switch
– The switch on the torch (Fig. D) controls starting and stopping
the arc. When using the torch switch the Amperage is set on the adjustment knob
on the front panel of the welder.
11. Foot Pedal
– The foot pedal is for starting and stopping the arc as well as controlling
the Amperage during the weld. When using the foot pedal the Amperage is set by
the adjustment knob on the side of the foot pedal. (Fig. B)
