New guy here. I just bought the new machine above, all is well, except I can't seem to find out how to purge the line without feeding wire. I read the manual, its probably in there somewhere, watched a bunch of youtubes also. There has got to be a way, and hope someone on here knows.

I want to try pulse by y-valving my argon and C25 together. Thanks, Ken

I just ordered this machine and your question got me digging through the manual.

There doesn't appear to be a dedicated purge button/command on the 220.
As a workaround, you could set the pre-flow to something like 10 sec to purge the line. Once this is initial purge is finished you would then set the pre-flow back to a normal setting.

I have been unlatching the pressure roller on the wire feed, hit the trigger, and let if flow to purge.

That's what I do.
