TIPS: AC BALANCE ALLOWS SETTING THE LEVEL OF CLEANING ACTION.

MACHINES DIFFER SO AND SO DOES THE LEVEL OF OXIDATION ON ALUMINUM. SET AC BALANCE TO WHERE THERE IS A VISIBLE ETCH LINE AT THE TOES AND TO WHERE THERE ARE NO BLACK DOTS IN THE PUDDLE.

KEEP A FAIRLY TIGHT ARC AND WATCH TORCH ANGLE

Aim for an arc length that is equal or less than the diameter of your tungsten electrode.Torch angle can be forgiving provided your arc length is tight.
