What happens here

In Synergy mode, the welder automatically calculates suggested voltage and amperage based on your selected wire and gas. While the amperage dial primarily adjusts the power, it concurrently influences the voltage to maintain optimal welding parameters. Additionally, the voltage can be fine-tuned by +/- 3 units using its dedicated dial, allowing minor adjustments for specific welding conditions or operator preference.

Goal: Fine-tune voltage and amperage for desired weld characteristics

right? So, now we're going to talk about your volts and your amps. So, when you're in synergy mode, your MIG, your wire size, and your gas is all calculated to give you this preset number by our captain. Right now, you do have some adjustment on your volts. You can go up three and you can go down three. So if I turn this, I'm going negative one. So that's going to go to 16.7 and -2 15.7. So if I bring this up to two, remember our preset was 17, so it should put me at 19 19.7, right? So, we're going to set this back at zero cuz that's what it was at. And now you have your amps. You can set your amps really wherever you want up. It's just going to continue to move your volts up. So, you only got to worry about really your amp dial. 250 amps. MP 205 and it's going to set your volts automatically for you. Wire
