4 Current Control
Use control to select weld amperage. Control
may be adjusted while welding. Set Amper-
age control at max. for full generator power
output at ac receptacles.
To Set Current Control: Use electrode chart
(see Section 5-3) to determine correct size
electrode. Select electrode type and set cur-
rent control to corresponding amperage
range on nameplate. Adjust control within se-
lected range to obtain desired weld
performance.
EXAMPLE:
Electrode Type: 6013
