Changing general welding parameter limits
The welding machine allows you to change the maximum and minimum limits for some welding parameters. This makes the welding
machine more expert and versatile.
To change the general welding parameter limits, go to the “CONFIGURATION” menu, and select the “WELDING” menu.
You can access the “CONFIGURATION” menu by:
• Holding down the SET key
for 5 seconds.
• By selecting the icon
from the process setting page.
• Select the “WELDING” menu.
