3) SAFETY SUGGESTIONS Ultra-violet radiation can penetrate lightweight clothing, reflect from light-colored surfaces, and burn the skin and eyes. - Wear a heavy, pocket-less, long-sleeved shirt, cuff-less trousers, and high-topped work shoes. - Wear a full-faced welding helmet with a number ten or darker lens and a cap. Electric arc welding produces flying sparks and hot material, which can cause fire.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. Exposed, electrically hot conductors, other bare metal in the welding circuit, or ungrounded, electrically hot equipment can fatally shock a person whose body becomes a conductor. Do not stand, sit, lie, lean on, or touch a wet surface when welding. - Disconnect the power supply before working on the welding machine.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Your MIG 2800i operates to its full capacity on single-phase, 240V power (208V-240V). The machine draws 30 amps (230 volts) from of the wall when operating at maximum output. We recommend a 30 Amp breaker for maximum performance. If you operate the machine on a generator, it needs to be a clean power generator with a minimum of 7500 watts.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS Fig. 4 MIG MANUAL WELDING LED; MIG SYNERGIC 2T LED; MIG SYNERGIC 4T LED; STICK WELDING LED ; GOUGING LED ; MODE - Allows you to access different welding modes by pressing repeatedly. 7 8 9 10 SETUP AND SELECTIONS - The function of these buttons differs depending on which mode the machine is in and what setup screen the machine is on.

Normally this function is in AUTO . This is the optimal parameter calibrated for every synergic curve. The higher the Pinch value, the lower the possibility that a ball can be created on the tip of the wire at the end of the weld.
