💡 Quick Setup Tips

Dual Voltage Auto-Detect

All ARCPEX machines auto-detect 110V vs 220V. Just plug in — no switch needed.

First Weld = Test Weld

Always run a test bead on scrap metal before welding your actual workpiece.

Ground Clamp Placement

Attach ground as close to the weld area as possible for best arc stability.

Gas Flow Rate

15–25 CFH is the standard range. Increase slightly in windy or outdoor conditions.
