E1 changes the mode of D2.
L-TIG/STICK Mode
D1 displays the welding parameter.
D2 displays the parameter value.
E1 changes the welding parameter.
E2 changes the parameter value.
.
Incorrect settings in any pro-
cess can result in a program
with undesirable weld charac-
teristics. Setup should only be
used by operators familiar with
various welding processes and
