Solid Wire And 75/25 Argon/CO
2
Gas:
>
Set Weld Process Selector switch
to Wire + (DCEP) position.
>
Set Coarse Range switch to Wire/
Low Range (17-22 volts) position.
>
Set Fine Control to obtain minimum
spatter.
>
Set wire feed speed between
100-300 ipm.
Typical Control Settings For Spray
Transfer Using .035 (ER70S-3) Solid
Wire And 80% Or Higher Argon/CO
2
Gas:
>
Set Weld Process Selector switch
to Wire + position.
>

for longer arc length.
Typical Control Settings Using .045
(E71T-11) Self-Shielded Flux Core
Wire:
>
Set Weld Process Selector switch
to Wire − position (DCEN).
