Re: Welding
you start with reading the chart inside the side cover then dial it in from there trial and error/ the chart gets you in the ballpark

Re: Welding
you also must consider the wire size and type, if you are using gas the type of gas/gas blend you are using.
This usually is listed on the panel inside the door of the welder. and the settings are made as CDOWNS said. its ballpark then dial it in as you need.
