I used .024 wire and started with it set for 16 gauge which is 3/50. The spots were a little tall so I bumped up the voltage to 4 and slowed the wire speed down to about 47.5. I was only pulling the trigger for about half a second with this setting. It is my understanding that the higher setting allow full penetration quickly and puts less heat into the metal vs a lower setting. I also read that Hobart part # 6ETK3 (702 AWS A5.18) is softer than their ER70S-6 wire so it is easier to grind and planing. I use 75/25 argon/CO2.
These welders come wired DCEN for the sample spool of flux core. I was getting frustrated when I first started using it until I figured out I needed to switch the polarity to DCEP for the solid wire.
