Just bought my first MIG welder as above.. The three main control knobs are perplexing as I can find almost nothing on the web to explain use and settings!!
The machine came with almost nothing in terms of documentation..
So the middle knob is inductance setting?? I can't see much difference so far.
The third knob strangely marked crater is clearly controlling feed speeds but ??
I'm getting some pretty nice welds but my general complaint would be that I seems to get too much crowning or weld build up on most of my welds..
I can move faster but then I can't do the nice little patterns and/or drag the puddle to the side a little as I'd like.
So has anyone seen this kind of machine? and how do I learn to adjust?
Thanks, ACP

Interesting machine - never seen one. From what I see it's a mig, stick, and possibly tig machine.
Specifically what does the manual say each switch and knob does?

Hey, Thanks for the welcomes and I'm glad (in a way) that I'm not the only one mystified..
I'm trying to attach 3 PDF files of scans of the little teeny manual that came with the machine.. I'm now getting error message that 'The extension pdf in not allowed.' Let me try again..

Looks like it's OK.. With jpg
Sorry for being slow to get back, sometimes my water well drilling company demands attention, I live and work here in Kenya which is somewhat short on resources of knowledge on topics like this.
Thanks for the help, ACP
