1

For best arc starts and best results using weld and generator power together, use a low Coarse Range setting and the Fine control set at 7 or higher.

.This section provides general

guidelines and may not suit all applications.

.The control panel shows the typi-

cal settings for welding with a 7018 (1/8 in) electrode. Consult the amperage selection tables below if welding with other elec- trodes.

1Work Clamp

2Electrode Holder

Connect Work cable to Work terminal and Electrode holder cable to Elec- trode terminal on welding generator.

.Be sure to use the correct size weld cables (see Section 5-7).

.For best performance, set the

Coarse Range switch to the low- est range that covers the desired weld amperage. Use the Fine control to select the desired am- perage within the range se- lected. When properly set, the Fine control is normally set at 7 or higher.
