this section of the manual.
6. Set the Idler Switch to “AUTO.”
7. Set the CURRENT RANGE SELECTOR to a set-
ting equal to or slightly higher than the desired
welding current.
8. Set the FINE CURRENT ADJUSTMENT to the set-
ting that gives the best arc characteristics for the
range selected. See
Control of Welding Current
in this section of the manual.
9. Strike an arc and begin welding.
After you finish welding:
1. Stop the engine. See
