I just purchased this as my first welder. I like the LCD screen and the auto settings to help me get a starting point on learning to weld. I’ll be doing flux core to start and hope to add gas later. Great video!

The VRD setting just keeps you from electrocuting yourself in wet conditions. It stands for "Voltage Reduction Device" and basically drops the voltage to a safe level when you're not welding and the circuit is open. Its more important to turn it on when you're stick welding while you're standing on a puddle of water. It should have no affect on the weld quality.

Think you will find U roller is for soft wire fluxcore and aluminium, so as not to crush opposed to V groove.

Hey Blake first off good video I don't think u realize the you have set up the gun polarization wrong you have set it for gas not flux core gun should be set negative and ground is positive that's why so much splatter. V roller for solid wire u for aluminum and get knurled roller for flux core try that it will be night and day .hope that helps.

Nice video. Double check the polarity settings on that fluxcore it is supposed to be electrode -. I have been looking at this welder, hope you do some stick with it 6010 and 7018.
