The cursor underlines the mem- ory number currently selected.
If in AUTO mode, an up or down arrow shows whether the arc voltage has been adjusted above or below the recommended level. Spot or Stitch timer status is displayed in the lower
The gun thumb switch functions as a Toggle key in Toggle mode. Pushing the gun thumb switch for- ward (toward the tip) selects the setup in memory

Left arrow keys: If metal thickness is displayed, Press the UP (
) arrow key to increase metal thickness. Press the DOWN (
) arrow key to decrease metal thickness. The Left arrow keys do not perform any function in any other mode.
Center arrow keys: Press the UP (
) arrow key to increase wire feed speed. Press DOWN (
) arrow key to decrease wire feed speed setting. If in Auto Mode, increasing or decreasing wire feed speed simultane- ously causes an increase or decrease in the arc volt- age and can change the metal thickness setting.
Right arrow keys: Press the UP (
) arrow key to increases arc voltage setting. Press the DOWN (
) arrow key to decrease the arc voltage setting. When in the Auto Mode, an up arrow indicator appears below the V in VOLTS if the arc voltage has been set higher than the recommended value. A down arrow indicator appears below the V in VOLTS if the arc voltage is below the recommended value. No arrow indicates that you are set to the recommended value.
