Wire feed/Current Adjustment Knob
The Wire feed/current adjusting knob adjusts the amount of welding current
delivered by the power source. In STICK and LIFT TIG modes, the amperage control
knob directly adjusts the power inverter to deliver the desired level of output current.
In MIG mode, the amperage knob adjusts the speed of the wire feed motor (which in
turn adjusts the output current by varying the amount of MIG wire delivered to the
welding arc). The optimum wire speed required is dependent on the type of welding
application. The setup chart on the inside of the wire feed compartment door
provides a brief summary of the required output settings for a basic range of MIG
welding applications. The value may also be adjusted while a weld is in progress – if
this occurs, the left display will briefly switch to show the adjusted value as the knob
is turned, and will automatically revert back to showing the weld current
measurements when the knob is not being turned.
Volts/Inductance Adjustment Knob
MIG Voltage Control
In this mode the control knob is used to adjust the output voltage of the power
source. The welding voltage is increased by turning the knob clockwise or decreased
by turning the knob anti-clockwise. The optimum voltage level required is dependent
on the type of welding application. The setup chart on the inside of the wire feed
compartment door provides a brief summary of the required output settings for a
basic range of MIG welding applications. The value may also be adjusted while a weld
is in progress – if this occurs, the right display will briefly switch to show the adjusted
value as the knob is turned, and will automatically revert back to showing the weld
voltage
measurements when the knob is not being turned.
Wire Feed Power Cable
This machine has the polarity conversion; There are positive output terminal and
negative output terminal between wire feeder and wire spool; When use solid wire
with gas protection, torch socket should be connected to the positive output
terminal, ground cable should be connected to the negative output terminal; When
use flux-cored wire, the two connected cable should be exchanged.
