Change the welding mode to the MIG welding mode;

While during the solid core with gas shield welding and the flux-cored
welding, the patch-plug from the machine insert in the positive polari-
ty output socket of the machine, and the ground cable connect to the
negative polarity;

While using the self-shield without gas during the welding, the patch-

plug from the machine insert in the negative polarity output socket of
the machine, and the ground cable connect to the positive polarity;
The gas hose, regulator and gas cylinder connection
Attach one end of the gas hose to the gas solenoid valve (gas inlet) located
on the back panel of the welder. Attach the other end to the gas regulator
which is attached to the shielding gas cylinder. See illustration below
1. Cylinder valve: Controls GAS CYLINDER gas flow.
2. Cylinder pressure gauge
3. Gas flow gauge, set at 20 CFM
4. Regulator
5. Adjustment knob controls gas pressure to the welder.
6. Gas hose
7. Gas cylinder
NOTE: Slowly open the cylinder valve by turning it counterclockwise until the
cylinder pressure gauge registers on the first gauge of the regulator. Turn
the adjustment knob clockwise (right) slowly to increase gas flow to 20 cfm.
To reduce the gas flow turn the adjustment counterclockwise (left). The gas
valve is located on the back panel of the welder and activated by the trigger.
Gas flow should be heard when the trigger is activated. No gas flow will re-
sult in a harsh arc with excessive spatter, a smooth weld bead will be difficult
to obtain. Avoid unnecessary gas loss by closing the tank valve when finished
welding.
