Place switch in Remote On/Off Switch

Required positions to turn weld output on

and off with a device connected to the

Remote 14 receptacle.
Place switch in Weld Terminals Always

On positions for weld output to be on

whenever the engine is running.
Use Stick mode for air carbon arc

(CAC-A) cutting and gouging.
When switch is in Stick mode, select one

of four arc drive (dig) settings to provide

additional amperage during low voltage

(short arc length) conditions and prevent

“sticking” electrodes. Turn control from A

to D to increase arc drive (dig) from min

to max.
Use the Lift-Arc TIG mode for TIG

(GTAW) welding using the Lift-Arc TIG
