HOW TO SET CONTROLS FOR STICK WELDING

1. Set the Right Dial (Fine Current and OCV) to 70.
2. Set the Left Dial (Coarse Current) to the Desired Current.
3. For more forceful arc increase coarse current and decrease
fine current. For softer arc increase fine current and decrease
coarse current.
K857-1 and K2627-2
Remote Control unit can also
be used as the Right Dial
(Fine Current and OCV or wire
voltage).
STICK / TIG WELDING
Start by setting the right-side Fine Current and OCV control dial to 70,
then set the left-side Coarse Current control dial to the desired current
using the dial markings as an approximate guideline. Arc characteristics
and small changes in output can then be adjusted using the Fine
Current and OCV control dial. A K857-1 Remote Control or K2627-2
Remote with receptacle unit can also be used as the Fine Control and
OCV control dial.
OCV Boost increases OCV at lower fine current settings and is recom-
mended for stick welding. Position the "OCV Boost" switch to "Classic"
when low OCV at low fine current settings is desired such as when TIG
welding.
SELF-SHIELDED FLUX-CORED WELDING
Start by setting the Wire (CV) / Stick (CC) toggle switch to the Wire (CV)
position. Then set the left-side Coarse Current control dial to 270. Now
move the Voltage Adjustment dial to the desired voltage. Move the
Coarse Current control to the left for a softer arc and to the right for a
crisper arc.
