> get a lil bit of a thicker piece of metal to start with its easier. put the heat or voltage setting abot 3/4 up and the speed on 2 as it will be the easiest to start with to get the feel. id also suggest eventually getting a lincoln thats what i have and i love it

there is no knob for voltage, just min and max switch
