sults, place Arc Control in the maximum posi-
tion.

Arc Control
Control adjusts Dig when Stick mode is se-
lected on mode switch. When set towards
minimum, short-circuit amperage at low arc
voltage is the same as normal welding
amperage.
When set towards maximum, short-circuit
amperage is increased at low arc voltage to

assist with arc starts as well as reduce stick-
ing while welding.
Select setting best suited for application.
Control adjusts inductance when either
V-Sense Feeder position is selected on the
mode switch. Inductance (0−100%) determ-
ines the "wetness" of the weld puddle. When
set towards maximum, "wetness" (puddle
fluidity) increases.
When the TIG mode is selected, this control
is not functional.
