Installation Instructions
1. Remove four sheet metal screws from plate covering the Inductance mounting location on the inside of the Multimaster 260 spool compartment.
2. Cut the plastic tie wraps holding the two Fast-On connectors and disconnect then remove the Inductance position cover plate and discard.
4. Carefully stuff the wire harness and connections through the access hole being careful not to pinch any wires between the mounting plate and the compartment panel.
5. Reinstall the four sheet metal screws into the Inductance module plate and secure.
Inductance is used to optimize short circuiting arc performance by changing the current rise and fall time of each short circuit. This results in improved spatter control, weld bead wetting and arc stability. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that the Inductance Trim option be used for Optimum short arc welding performance for stainless steel wires.
The “easy to set” dial is calibrated in wire alloy (Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel) and Shielding gas:
100% CO Argon - 25% CO Argon - 8 to 15% CO

TriMix (Stainless Helium, Argon and CO2 Mixtures)
The short circuiting Mig arc performance will change from a “high short circuit frequency” fast reacting arc to a “lower short circuit frequency” soft and less spattering short circuit arc as the dial is turned clockwise. The optimized arc performance will vary depending on shielding gas, wire diameter and alloy. Gases and alloys other than those indicated can also be optimized with this control. Feel free to experiment. You cannot damage the Multimaster 260 by chang­ing the position of this dial.
Be sure this information reaches the operator. You can get extra copies through your supplier.
