OPERATION
B-3
1. Power Switch - Place the lever in the “ON” position
to energize the machine. When the power is on, the
fan will operate and the output will be energized in
SMAW modes. GTAW mode requires remote trig-
ger to energize the output.
2. Output Control - This controls the output current.
Control is provided over the entire output range of
the power source with 1 turn of the control knob.
This control may be adjusted while under load to
change power source output. When using remote
control this function becomes the limit setting.
3. Local/Remote Switch - Place in the “LOCAL” posi-
tion to allow output adjustment at the machine.
Place in the “REMOTE” position to allow output
adjustment at remote pot or amptrol. In Remote, the
machine output control pot is the limit setting for
remote control.
4. Mode Switch
