I have a Lincoln SA250 and wonder if someone can explain simply just what the two different setting knobs are for.
I can usually get it close enough to make good welds, especially in really heavy work, but sometimes when trying to weld thinner than 1/2 " I don't seem to get the settings correct.

Thanks a lot

vhauk,
I saw a youtube video by a fellow who called himself fieldres and he explains this in great depth. Maybe one of the others here will give you a link, I don't have access to youtube here at work.

Vic.

It's a course and fine amperage and voltage adjustment.


You must dial it in, depending on how you like to weld. :D
Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.
