I played with the machine most of the day yesterday and all of the issues I was having was me ... first I had the pre flow set to high and thought there was an arc start problem ... then I had the AC balance way out of whack not realizing that the settings were backwards to other brands (had it at 65% when it should have been 35% then I had the down slope to long and was pulling off while the arc was still going ... having only used stick, mig and a no frills DC TIG getting used to all the control is a little intimidating at first. buy the end of the day things were looking much better ... this thing is GREAT!!!
