The stick soft mode is the best selection for general stick
applications.
Arc Control = Arc Force
Hot Start = Initial hot start current (min = start a match set amps, Max.

= greatest hot start current) During hot start, arc force is set
at high and is fast response.

For gouging applications: Turn current up to 425 amps.

Stick Crisp

5 - 425 amps

The stick crisp mode features an aggressive arc force routine well suit-
ed for Exx10, Exx11 series electrodes.
Arc Control = Arc Force
Hot Start = Initial hot start current (Mid range = welding current and will

vary up and down with knobcontrol.) During hot start, arc
force is set at high and is fast response.

For gouging applications: Turn current up to 425 amps.

GTAW (Tig mode)

5 - 425 amps

The tig mode produces a soft, steady constant current waveform for
either touch start or high frequency assisted start DC GTAW applica-
tions.
Hot Start = Min to Mid range = Touch start with low OCV
Mid to Max range = High frequency assistedstarting with adjustable
OCV up to 70 volts.

GMAW - CV

10 - 45 volts

The GMAW - CV mode is the best selection for general MIG welding,
Metal core, and gas shielded applications.
Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),

(Max = max pinch, crispest arc)

FCAW-SS

10 - 45 volts

The FCAW-SS mode is designed for Self Shielded Innershield products
that require tight voltage control. For example; the NR 203 series or NR
207)
Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),

(Max = max pinch, crispest arc, )

ADVANCED PULSE PANEL WELDING PROGRAMS

Gouging

60 - 425 amps The gouging mode is a low power version of other Lincoln welding

equipment gouging programs, for example a PowerWave 455.

GMAW - Power

1 - 18 (No Units) Refer to the detailed explanation at the end of this section.

This mode does not allow preset voltage. In the short arc GMAW
mode, the set KW will not equal the actual Volts * Amps. The set
power is regulated only when an arc is present. During shorting, the
output is allowed to increase to clear the short.
