Welding parameter setting in the operation sequence
A welding parameter can be set in two ways in the operation sequence.
1. Push the "left" or "right" arrow keys (flashing signal light will indicate your selection). Turn the control
button to set the parameter value.
2. Press briefly on the control button (operation sequence selection) and then turn the button (navigate to
the required parameter). Press again to apply the selected parameter as the setting (corresponding
parameter value and signal light flash). Turn the button to set the parameter value.
During welding parameter setting, the parameter value to be set flashes in the left hand display. A para-
