4. Turn the wire speed dial with the other hand to its maximum position and continue to hold
onto the knob.
5. Pull the trigger (1) on the torch to start an arc. Drag the torch toward the user while
simultaneously turning the wire speed dial counterclockwise
(fig J)
.
6. When the wire speed decreases, the sound that the arc makes will change from a sputtering
sound to a high-pitched buzzing sound. The correct setting is the point where the high-pitched
buzzing sound is achieved.
Use the wire feed control to slightly increase or decrease the heat and penetration by
selecting higher or lower wire feed settings. Repeat this tune-in procedure if a new heat
setting, a different diameter wire, or a different type of welding wire is selected.
Angle A Angle B
• Angle A can be varied, but in most
cases the optimum angle will be 60
degrees (the point at which the torch
handle is parallel to the workpiece). If
angle A is increased, penetration will
increase, and if it is decreased
penetration will decrease
(fig H)
.
• Angle B can be varied to improve the
visibility of the arc in relation to the weld
puddle and to direct the force of the arc
