Circuit

This power supply is equipped with a Tip Saver/Drag
Cut Sensing Circuit which cuts current back to 35 amps if
the tip touches the workpiece. The purpose of this is to
prolong the life of the tip.

If the user does not want the current to be decreasedwhen
the tip touches the workpiece, the sensing circuit can be
defeated by closing switch SW1-1 on the Gate/Logic PC
Board. Slide top white toggle on SW1-1 to the right to
close circuit.
