2. The Gear Indicator Lights will illuminate to show the selected power level.
3. Recomanació: Start with a lower gear and gradually increase until a satisfactory weld is achieved. If the weld spot is too black, decrease the gear. If the weld is too weak or not firm, increase the gear.

5.3 Switching Welding Modes (Automatic/Manual)

The device supports both automatic and manual welding modes.

1. To switch between modes, long press the Manual Mode Button (the larger button on the front of the device).
2. The corresponding 'Manual' or 'Auto' indicator light will illuminate.
