Controls/ Connections :
1) Amperage knob: The amperage knob controls the output amperage of the welding
machine. If the foot pedal is connected, the amperage is controlled with the foot
pedal, and not the Amperage knob.
2) Cleaning Effect Adjustment: The Clearance effect adjustment is used to control heat
between the workpiece and the tungsten. Turning it positive will allow for better
cleaning but less penetration, while dialing in a more negative setting allows for more
penetration but less cleaning. When at the “O” position, the ratio is 50% to 50%; at
“5” position, ratio is 80%, and at “-5” position, ratio is 20%
3) Digital Amperage Display: Using digital meters helps the user set amperage quickly
while STICK welding or TIG welding.
4) STICK/TIG switch: Rocker switch to control which process is used for welding.
5) Post-Flow Adjustment: Controls the seconds in which the shielding gas is allowed
to continue to flow through the torch after the foot pedal is trigger is depressed.
6) Pre-Flow Control: Controls the amount of time (measured in tenths of a second) that
the shielding gas is allowed to flow though the torch before the arc is ignited.
7) Power Switch: Located in the back of the machine. Powers the machine on or off.
8) Foot Pedal/ Panel Control Switch: Allows the user to select either option of
controlling the amperage, either through the control panel, or with the included foot
pedal.
9) AC/DC Switch: Easy switching between AC and DC welding. DC welding being
used for steel while the Ac setting is used for aluminum welding.
10) TIG Shielding Gas Connection: The shielding gas connection needs to be threaded
in tightly. (Avoid over-tightening)
11) Stick Welding Connection: Connect the included stinger for stick welding.
12) TIG Welding Panel Control: Connect the TIG torch connector in order to control
amperage via the panel controls.
13) Foot Pedal Connection: Connect the foot pedal connection in order to control
amperage with the included foot pedal.
14) Ground Clamp Control: Insert connector and twist clockwise to secure the ground
clamp.
