For best arc starts and best
results using weld and generator
power together, use a low
Coarse Range setting and the
Fine control set at 7 or higher.

The control panel shows the typi-
cal settings for welding with a
7018 (1/8 in) electrode. Consult
the amperage selection tables
below if welding with other elec-
trodes.
1 Work Clamp
2 Electrode Holder
Connect Work cable to Work terminal
and Electrode holder cable to Elec-
trode terminal on welding generator.
.
Be sure to use the correct size
weld cables (see Section 5-8).
.
For best performance, set the
Coarse Range switch to the low-
est range that covers the desired
weld amperage. Use the Fine
control to select the desired am-
perage within the range se-
lected. When properly set, the
Fine control is normally set at 7
2
or higher.
