Hi everybody,

Sorry for the obvious question but please can someone tell me what the dial in the top left of this photo does?

Thanks.

Looks like it adjust your voltage.

Top left, slope maybe? It appears to be voltage versus time.

The wire feed speed appears to be the lower left toggle with the knob adjusting the WFS up or down. The same toggle appears to control shielding gas preflow perhaps.

The top right appears to be arc voltage.  Decreased voltage, shorter arc length, longer electrode extension. Higher voltage, longer arc length and shorter electrode extension.

Just a SWAG.
