The control panel shows the typi-
cal settings for welding with a
7018 (1/8 in.) electrode. Consult

Be sure to use the correct size
weld cables (see Section 5-9).
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
or higher.
Set Weld Process Selector
switch to DC position.
Set Coarse Range switch to
