Well, a beautiful Portamig 185 arrived today and I have assembled it but as yet have not tried it as I am suffering with a bug which makes me feel utterly lethargic, if I was on fire I wouldn't have the strength to beat myself out.
What I want to ask is: what is the best way to set it up for first use? I am a little confused as to where to set the wire speed dial as I understand that the machine is semi-synergic and sets its own wire speed according to the power setting. To me this means that the wire speed dial is for fine tuning, so I would be inclined to set it in the middle. Am I about right or what?
Another question: does anybody know what the various power settings correspond to in amps?
Finally: The Weldequip shop advertise it as 15 amps at the bottom whereas the instruction booklet with the machine says 20 amps, so, which is right?
Thanks, John.
PS. Happy Easter to all.
