Mode

Stick Soft

5 - 425 amps

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)

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

The GMAW Power mode features good stable short arc performance

 

 

 

 

 

when welding small diameter (.025 and .030 steel & stainless) wires at

 

 

 

 

 

low procedures. This mode also performs well welding aluminum in the

 

 

 

 

 

spray mode.

 

 

 

 

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, )
