Lincoln Electric Speedtec 200C Synergic Tips & Tricks

[Lionelgee]

Hello All,

Does anyone out there have a Lincoln Electric Speedtec 200C that they have been using for a while and could provide a new user ... me with some tips and tricks? I have read the Operator's Manual and even copied and pasted it into a larger font - all the better to see it with ... Oops, I digress... Well it is painted red!

There are these great descriptions of the differences between the basic and advanced menus where things like burnback, run-in wire feed speed, Spot timer, Preflow time & pastflow time, 2 or 4 step trigger and inductance that all can be user set within the synergic mode. All of these features would be great. The Operator's manual even lets me know what all these previously listed things are.

Just the Operator's manual does not let me know which buttons to press and which way to turn the specific button to be able to get into a menu some where I can then select each of these truly wonderful features, that I know the definitions for - thanks to the Operator's Manual!

I bought my Lincoln Electric Speedtec 200C that does out of the box with no extra parts needed MIG and MMA or arc or stick welding. There is a TIG kit that can be purchased separately for the welder. I bought the welder - without TIG, new back in 2020 and it sat in its box, unopened until I could get power connected to my shed. Then I had to have some free time to set the welder up. So, yes time did advance during this waiting for the right conditions (power to the shed) and Time to use the welder to come around.

I am very - very new to welding. The Operator's Manual works on apparently from a level of prior experience that I simply do not have.

I have searched on YouTube for my welder and there are some shown. However they only show the screen as it changes not what buttons someone pressed to get to make the changes shown on the screen. You know the how to do it step by step approach. Wonderful features I am sure - just how do I access them?????

Oh in case I was just a bit too veiled ... HELP!

Thank you

Kind regards
Lionel
