*Do not change Voltage switch position while welding. Wire Speed value in Table is a starting value only, and Wire Speed control setting can be fine
tuned during welding. S-181 186
SECTION 3 – OPERATION
3-1. Controls
Ref. ST-182 986-B
1 Wire Speed Control
Use control to select a wire feed
speed. As Voltage switch setting in-
creases, wire speed range also in-
creases.
2 Voltage Switch
The higher the selected number,
the thicker the material that can be
welded. Do not switch while
welding.
