Wire Speed listed is a starting value only. Wire Speed setting can be
fine−tuned while welding. Wire Speed also depends on other variables
such as stick out, travel speed, weld angle, cleanliness of metal, etc.
Make sure that hub tension is not too tight and keep the torch straight as possible. A ”push angle” for the torch is recommended.
