" CONTROL" SWITCH
Provides a fine welding current adjustment within the
Range Switch settings in the STICK/TIG mode and
welding voltage control with the Range switch set in
the wire feed mode.
"IDLER" SWITCH
The idler switch has two positions, "HIGH" and
"AUTO".
When in "HIGH" (
continuously at high idle.
When in "AUTO" (
operates as follows:
• Welding
When the electrode touches the work, the welding
arc is initiated and the engine accelerates to full
speed.
After welding ceases (and no auxiliary power is
being drawn), the engine will return to low idle
after approximately 10 to 14 seconds.
• Auxiliary Power
With the engine running at low idle and auxiliary
power for lights or tools is drawn (approximately
100-150 watts or greater) from the receptacles,
the engine will accelerate to high speed. If no
power is being drawn from the receptacles (and
not welding) for 10-14 seconds, the idler reduces
the engine speed to low idle.
