My Lincoln has the same settings as yours... There are loads of other
factors involved in what settings to use but I've found that low/1 is really
only good
Moving the arc in a figure-8 motion across the width of the weld is
what I was taught for MIG.
All welding helmets filter out the UV regardless of the darkness
setting - that's what will give you cataracts. You can set the
darkness level to whatever is comfortable.
Use a thicker wire and higher
Congrats.
Wire welding (GMAW) is pretty easy once you figure out a few
parameters. Making some practice welds first on scrap, and then
testing the welds is important when you don't weld all the time. I
learned to weld from an old Marine drill Sarg and it was a hoot. I
can still lay down a

Nope. On the list for soon.
Oh and be careful, I've seen trampolines where the legs were galvanized.
Welding galvanized metal releases zinc gas which can make you real
will leave a lot of slag on the weld which needs to be ground off before

I bought this 110A, 230V MIG welder from Harbor Freight a while back
