Here's a calculator to use as a starting point: http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/calculator.htm

The order for the switches:

Hi
The settings are as followed
Push the middle rocker switch up then for the settings starting at low - high
1 Low Min
2 Low Med
3 Low Max
Push the middle rocker switch up then for the settings starting at high
4 High Min
5 High Med
6 High Max
Work on each of these setting for every 1mm thickness as a guide but remember that at the highest setting your welder will only work for a short time before cutting out on thermals.
