Generally speaking the machine calibration will not need adjustment. However, if the weld per- formance changes, or the yearly calibration check reveals a problem, contact the Lincoln Electric Company for the calibration software utility. The calibration procedure itself requires the use of a grid, and certified actual meters for voltage and current.
