All weld modes support using a remote control like K857-1. Plug the
remote into the 6 pin connector on the front of the machine.
Press the remote button on the display to toggle between control at the
remote and control at the knob on the machine. The remote button
does not function when welding is occurring.
When the remote is enabled, a bar will appear underneath the preset
value showing the remote range. The standard range allows the remote
to adjust from the minimum to the maximum value of the machine.
Remote Setting – Adjusting the maximum and minimum values of the
remote control can improve the remote control sensitivity. Example –
setting the maximum range to 110 and the minimum to 90 makes it
easy to adjust the output by increments of 1 with the remote.
Arc Force – prevents the electrode from sticking during welding. It is a
temporary increase in current when the arc is too short. It can make
out of position welding easier. For a smooth arc with less splatter, use
less Arc Force. For a crisp arc with more penetration, use more Arc
force.
Hot Start – is a temporary increase of the output current for approx. 0.5
sec at Stick Welding ARC FORCE the start of the weld. This helps to
ignite the arc quickly and reliably without electrode sticking.
