The suggested Wire Feed Speed settings in the table below are based on a midrange wire tension
setting. The tension may be changed if required to improved wire feeding; however, the WFS setting may
have to be adjusted from the values in the table below.
Do NOT weave the arc, neither forward, backward, or sideways

When the welding power source is on and the gun trigger is
depressed, drive rolls, wire reel and electrode are ELECTRICALLY
HOT.
Use of this unit on thicker materials than recommended may result in
poor welds. The welds may "look" good, but may just be "sitting" on
top of the plate. This is called "Cold Casting" and will result in weld
failure.
