Miller Electric Maxstar 200 STR Stick Start Procedure − Scratch Start Technique, Amperage Control

5-4. Stick Start Procedure − Scratch Start Technique

With Stick selected, start arc as follows:

1 Electrode

2 Workpiece 3 Arc

Drag electrode across workpiece like strik-

1ing a match; lift electrode slightly after touch- ing work. If arc goes out electrode was lifted to high. If electrode sticks to workpiece, use a quick twist to free it.

Y For models with stock number 907 220, normal open-circuit voltage (80

2volts) is present before electrode touches workpiece.

For models with stock numbers 907 036 and

3907 037, normal open-circuit voltage is not present before electrode touches work- piece; only a low sensing voltage is present between electrode and workpiece.

5-5. Amperage Control

CE Model 1 A (Amperage Control)

	Rotate knob clockwise to increase
1	amperage (Min-200 amps).

5-6. DIG Control

	CE Model	1 DIG Control
1	1	Control increases SMAW short-cir-
		cuit amperage at low arc voltage.
		This allows the operator to use a
		very short arc length without stick-
		ing the electrode.
		Set control at 0 for normal welding
		amperage. Turn clockwise to in-
		crease short-circuit amperage.
