3.3.1 Starting of the control panel

• When you start the power source with the main switch (S11), the control panel remains

in OFF mode and the wire feeder is not operational. The display shows the text ‘OFF’.

• When you depress the start button (1) for at least one second, the control panel starts.

The unit is now ready for welding and enters the mode that was active before the power

was cut off.

• You can also start the control panel by quickly pressing the welding gun switch three

times.

3.3.2 Displays

• When you are adjusting the machine settings, the control panel displays show adjustable

operation parameters, their values, and the units of measure.

• During welding, display 2 shows the welding current value that is currently in use, while

display 8 shows the welding voltage.

3.3.3 Control knobs

• The left-hand control knob (10) allows adjustment of the speed of wire feeding. The

selected speed is shown on the display on the left-hand side (2).

• The control knob on the right-hand side (11) allows you to adjust the welding voltage.

The selected voltage is shown on the right-hand display (8).

These adjusters are used also for selecting the values of the machine’s operational parameters,

such as the MIG mode and set-up features. A parameter for adjustment is selected with the

left-hand knob (10), while the value of the parameter is selected with the right-hand knob

(11).
