1. Voltage/Amperage Adjustment Knob – While in WIRE mode,
this knob adjusts the value of the voltage output. While in TIG
or STICK mode, this knob adjusts the value of the amperage
output.
2. Wire Feed Speed Adjustment Knob – While in WIRE mode,
this knob adjusts the wire feed speed setting. While in TIG or
STICK mode, this knob is inactive.
3. Input/Output Voltage and Temperature LEDs – The top LED
will illuminate when Input power is present and the machine is
turned on. The middle LED will illuminate when the machine
has thermally tripped. Once the machine has cooled, the
machine will reset and the thermal light will turn off. The
middle LED will ash if the input voltage is above 250 VAC or
below 90 VAC. The middle LED will also ash when power is
removed from the machine. The bottom LED illuminates when
the machine is welding or ready to weld. Safety precautions
must be followed when the machine is welding or ready to
weld. The bottom LED will ash when a short is present.
4. Process Selection Button – Allows the user to toggle
between processes. The corresponding LED above the button
will indicated the current process.
5. Brass Gun connection– Permits attachment of a MIG welding
gun, TIG torch or spool gun. Ensure the gun or torch is fully
seated into the brass receptacle and tighten the thumb screw.
6. Eight Pin Connector – Permits triggering the machine for
MIG, FCAW, aluminum MIG or TIG welding when a foot pedal is
attached. Also triggers gas ow for MIG, aluminum MIG, and
TIG. Connect the 8-pin connector present on the welding gun
or foot pedal to the receptacle.
7. Wire Drive Polarity Lead – Permits con guring the wire drive
to positive or negative polarity by inserting into the positive or
negative receptacle. Ensure connector is tightly locked into
place by rotating clockwise.
8. Negative Output Receptacle – Permits attaching a work
lead, electrode stinger, or the center wire drive polarity lead
to DC negative polarity. Rotate connector clockwise to lock
into place.
9. Positive Output Receptacle – Permits attaching a work lead,
electrode stinger, or the center wire drive polarity lead to DC
3
positive polarity. Rotate clockwise to lock into place.

1. Power Switch – Permits turning the machine on or off.
2. Thermal Breaker – The welding machine features a
resettable 25amp thermal breaker. If the current conducted
through the breaker exceeds 25 amps for an extended period
of time, the breaker will open and require manual reset.
3. Input Power Cord – Permits the machine to be connected to
230VAC input. An adapter is provided for connecting to
120VAC input.
4. Integrated gas solenoid – permits connecting the proper
shielding gas
