The change in available current seemed to be the more significant change on the chart, so that's what I thought I was changing. The voltage change is rather slight. From Min1 to Min2 the voltage only goes from 16 to 18 volts, but the current goes from around 20 amps to around 40 amps. (If I remember right the current steps are 20, 40, 65, 110). |
A good way to set wire feed speed is to place a scrap piece very close to the welder so you can easily reach the control knobs. Then weld and adjust wire speed until it sounds just right. The label settings are just a close estimate.
