Lincolnelectric.com will have the the manual on their web site.

To switch from gasless to gas wire, you will need to swap the polarity.

Your gas supplier will be able to supply a regulator and hose/fitting for the gas. Lincoln probably has a kit for it listed in the manual (K586-1).

You'll probably get 75/25 Ar/CO2 gas, use what the supplier recommends. The reg will be for argon mixes. If you go with straight CO2 (cheaper), it will need a regulator with a different fitting.
