Hi
Recently bought this:
And started using the spool of wire I got with it, the flux core 0.8 witre, I didn't fully understand the synergy setting +/- 20% but got it welding ok. I had the speed dial down to minimum. Does that have anything to do with control of the current or is it the synergy setting?
I've also just used up the spool I got with it and replaced it with a flux core 0.8 super 6 spool, once I started welding I was getting blobs of slag arcing back into the torch and the weld was giving off a sort of orangish flame at the torch end rather than a nice pool and smooth arcing, almost like the polarity is wrong. I checked the setting in case it had reset as I had it off for a while it was set to mig/mma so I put it to flux cored setting but it's still the same. Not sure, this new spool seems to have done something but it is same size and flux cored stuff.
Thanks for any thoughts on what might be causing the issue with the new spool, seems to have done something when I changed it.
