THE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

1. Digital Current display meter (A)

• Displays amperage being drawn by the machine.

2. Digital voltage display meter (V)

• Displays voltage being drawn by the machine.

3. Power-On LED

• When the power is switched on at the back of the machine the switch will be

illuminated, as will the green ‘Power On’ LED.

4. Thermal overload LED

• If the duty cycle is exceeded as a result of welding for too long with a high

current, the overload light will illuminate and the welder will turn off. When the

welder has cooled down (approx. 5 to 10 minutes), the power will be restored and

welding can recommence.

5. Wire Feed Selector Switch

• 2-Step Welding Mode. In 2-step welding mode the torch operates in the normal

way. When the torch trigger is pressed and held, both the wire and the gas are

continuously supplied. When the trigger is released, the flow of gas and wire

ceases.

• 4-Step Welding Mode. In 4-step welding mode, long welds can be executed

without having to continuously hold down the torch trigger. To activate this mode,

press and release the torch trigger to initiate the continuous supply of both the

wire and the gas. At the end of the weld, press and release the trigger again to

cut off the supply of wire and gas.

6. MIG/MMA/LIFT TIG function selector switch

• 3-position switch to select either the standard welding torch, rod welding using

the rod/clamp holder.

7. Wire speed control

• A higher current requires a higher wire speed. Wire speed should be set based

upon the table on page 32.

8. Inductance value control knob

• Set this control to either HARD or SOFT according to whether the weld being

formed is narrow and requiring more penetration (turn left for Hard) or for wide

and shallower (turn control to the right). The icons indicate which is appropriate.

9. Welding voltage selector knob

• Increase the welding voltage according to the welding task being performed.
