right arrows ( ) at the top of the panel to select the desired
process. Be sure to wait until this screen is present before you at-
tempt any change of the welding process. Any time you change pro-
cesses, the screen will reappear briefly to remind you to make any
required changes to polarity.
THE MAIN CONTROL SCREENS (MANUAL MODE)
MIG/Flux Cored Manual Screen
1.
Welding Voltage. Adjust with Left adjustment knob. Select with
left up and down arrow keys. When the Voltage is selected for
adjustment, the numbers will brighten in color. This is the de-
fault setting of the left side. After 5 seconds of no input or ad-
justment of other parameters or functions, the selected setting
will default back to the Voltage.
2.
Voltage Input Confirmation. This confirms which voltage the
machine is being supplied. This also serves as a diagnostic tool.
If the machine does not show 240V while operating on 240V,
then the power supply to the welder is likely faulty. NOTE
:
Maxi-
mum output of the machine is governed by the input voltage.
Some selections may not be possible on reduced input power.
3.
Gas/Process Reminder. This reminds the user which gas or
process has been selected. It will display either C25 (75/25 Ar/
CO2 for Steel), C100 (100% CO2 for Steel), Mix Gas ( 98/2 Ar
CO2 for Stainless/Inox), Ar Gas (100% Argon for Aluminum), or
No Gas (For Flux
-
Cored on Steel) in wire feeding modes.
4.
Manual/PowerSet Mode. This indicates which mode the ma-
chine is operating in, whether in full manual mode or in Pow-
erSet mode which is a synergic, more automated mode. In
PowerSet, many functions may not be available for adjustment.
(See the MIG PowerSET section).
5.
Run
-
In On/Off. Run
-
in provides a low speed start for the wire
until after the arc is started. This improves the arc starting ability.
This indicator reminds you whether you have it selected or not.
6.
Wire Feed Speed Indicator. Adjust with Right adjustment knob.
This indicates the wire feed speed in both Inches Per Minute

Setting the Unit Up For Welding Manually
THE WELCOME/BOOT SCREEN
When you first turn the unit on with the rear power switch, this screen
will greet you as the machine begins the boot process. Simultaneous-
ly, all the process selection LED
’
s should be lit on the control panel.
THE POLARITY SCREEN
After the boot process (2 to 3 seconds) completes, the unit will briefly
display a polarity reminder screen (4 to 5 seconds) as depicted
above. Simultaneously, the welder should highlight the last process
used by lighting one corresponding red LED at the top of the panel in
the process selection area. NOTE: In the left column of the screen,
during any wire feeding mode, the unit also reminds you to check
and change your polarity connections of your wire feeder, indicated
by the terminal lug and blank terminal. A reminder to use gas (MIG),
or not to use gas (Flux
-
Cored) is also displayed for wire feeding
modes. MIG will also display a

indicator for slow wire start
for improved starting if selected. For Stick, a similar polarity reminder
appear as well. It
’
s especially important to check and change your
torch and work clamp polarity or improper operation and even dam-
age to the machine may occur. As a best practice, keep the torches
disconnected until the polarity screen displays to prevent damage to
the machine. Also be sure to remove the torch before changing po-
larities. Do not try to operate the machine with more than one torch
connected at a time.
If desired, at this point you may change the process by using the up/
