Hard tig arc starting using pulse when restarting a bead

Is there any information online on how to re-set the points? Or do I have to call tech and have them walk me through? Maybe a video?

Steve,

The points on the PP250 are located in the right front corner of the machine. To get at them, you need to remove the back bezel, the carry handle and the sheet metal cover. That part is actually quite easy. There are some pics of the points somewhere on this site.

They can then be "accessed", but it's tight. You adjust by bending them. Measure with a feeler gauge, ~ .035 IIRC.

However, you have the 250EX. Not sure if the points are located in the same general area on that unit. Maybe someone else will chime in.

A call to tech support can make things a lot easier, and help you avoid any pitfalls.
.035 is a good setting. Each unit, will have a slightly different "like". Everything though identical is different, if that makes any sense.
