Welcome Matt - hopefully one of the lads'll have info on how to find what you need.

I assume it's the one in your avatar ?
Looks a bit like the old Ideal range. See pic.
If so then there should be some info (diagrams etc )
If not then what issues are you having ???
And welcome BTW

Hi,guys and yes Mike it is the machine in my avatar, my main issue apart from wanting a manual anyway for future reference is the amperage settings if i knew the lowest setting ie 30 amp then i could deduce that each setting would go up by 21.11111amps or 40amp would be 20amp increments for the 10 settings just my theory please correct me if i am barking up the wrong tree ultimately i need info like "setting 1-1= .. amps 1-2= ..amps" etc up to setting 2-5= 220 amps.

I had one of those sip's and to be honest it wasn't a bad machine at all,sadly the transformer died in the end,mind you it was some 25yrs old.
Forget about what amps are on what settings,not worth bothering about,as pdg said its all about voltage,have you check what volts your getting at the tip with a multi meter?
If not do that and work from there iirc you should get about 15-17V on the lowest setting then 27-29V on the highest(thats going on my old unit)
Then get yourself a load of scrap of different thicknesses and practice noting down what does best at each setting and wire speed,make a chart and stick it on the side of the welder,yer schoolboy stuff but it does help
You've a few features on that unit ie burnback,stitch,spotweld all those are down to what your going to weld and how,play with it as much as you can it'll tell you whats best not you tell it

Much as said above.
You will find most manuals are poor. The attached pdf is from another welder BUT is very good guide in places as to the mig process.
Ref the power settings and as suggested, run some beads and note setting. Attached pic is me experimenting with different capacitors on a mig.
