Don't mess with pulse yet. Maybe in a few years. Set the balance to "7" as indicated on the machine. If you get pepper in the puddle decrease to get more cleaning action. I don't think your machine has adjustable AC frequency, so you won't have to worry about that.
I am fairly new (a few years) to TIG and though I don’t spend consistent time welding, I love the capability and can get into the swing of it when I have a project. It’s not so dissimilar from chopping vegetables in that you make repetitive, coordinated, rhythmic movements with both hands; and modulate the pedal. Of course, unlike chopping, you really can’t stop and recollect. So it’s a bit like performance driving too. So satisfying when it goes right. Tight arc and clean aluminum are your friends.

Show Us your Welders!
I thought it might be fun to see everyones welding set-ups. The little Cricket is set up for stainless. The 210 can do both steel and aluminum. Here are my welders and bench. Now! let's see YOURS!
